Thanks all! I can't take credit though, my mechanic Sam made it all up and did a great job of it.

Richard, I ended up having the box made up by a friend of 'Craved' on here. Sam ( www.drdrift.com.au ) did all the other work with the hard lines etc

Mate, I would have loved to have had it bought off the shelf, would have saved some headaches! It was all custom built.

I think there may be a market for a pre-fabbed CAMS approved kit like that though

marlin - you need to mate, both the shitters are keeping a knock off 400r and your rival 32 gtst company at the moment!

roy - for tarmac and circuit events the e2 and 3 boxes aren't too bad unless you're dragging. there are a number of beefing up options too that wouldn't break the bank. apparently the boxes get a bad name from guys doing engine swaps into local cars and having the weak local gsr 'box fitted up.

the 4g63 engines go forever, much like sr20s and rb20s etc. for the 4g63 there are plenty of cost effective 2.2 and 2.4 kits too... when i priced a 2.4 rebuild a while back it was only $170 extra to got 2.4 over 2.0 using a factory crank (assuming you'd replace the standard crank).

the pre-e4 diffs in gsr and rs are strong enough for just anything (unlike evo 4 onwards ayc (gsr) units). the gsr spec e1-e3 use an open front centre and are best to be swapped over to ralliart helical front centre found in the rs.

if you wana prepped one i'm considering options on this one and happy to set it up to a spec requested... wont be after big dollars for it either.

boz22n - nup, csc/bmax are grooved that way, zoom in on the veins

there are a few manufacturers doing this, i got confused when fitting mine also, but definately run that way.

Ben are those rotors on back to front or and i looking at it wrong?

The car looks sweet Chris.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
