Plus there is reasonably good access in behind for panel beating dolleys. Should be fairly straight forward to pull it out even without access to the rear. They would just weld a tab on and pull it out with one of those panel beating pull hammers. Looks pretty easy to fix.

dude pay cash

work out how much it will cost and if doing it through insurance and losing your no-claim bonus is cheaper in the long run. it might only be $500 now, but next year your premium might be $200 more when the job would have cost $600 in the first place.

being insurance they will bump up the price. pay cash and it will be cheaper

OK so I'll hit up some places for a cash price....

Any Melbournians know of reputable panel beaters who will do a decent job?

Can someone tell me how to turn on the driving lights that are in the aero front bar on the nm35. I've tried both sets of switches on the light stalk and the 2 way toggle under the dash on the right hand side but nothing turns them on.

Cheers

try jetspeed in clayton...they do my mates' cars & put their own car in autosalon years ago...

don't get me wrong...some ppl who put their cars in autosalon go to DT panels for paint jobs and the result looks good enough to pass for autosalon entry...but beware that at times their work is not the best quality...

Hey guys I've asked earlier whats the on/off button on the lower dash next to bonet release latch???

I've tryed off and on couldnt see any difference? pinch.gif

So much to learn......

Dave :thumbsup:

Does it look aftermarket? Mine was blank until i installed my 'fun' switch in that position. You may have to drop that panel down & see where wires might go.

Q: what is the problem with running staggered width wheels/.tyres on an M35, i have had mixed opinions from GTR owners but was curious as to what you guys all thought.

our attezza screw up with different sizes and offsets. the GTR owners are able to if they pull the front shaft.

not sure how it stuffs up so i'de be keen to know aswell.

Rolling diameter I understand but width should really be a factor...

the generally unplug the switch on the stalk. there is a small cutout at the back of the indicator stalk, remove and plug it back in.

if you have an aero model with the driving lights in the front bar, the 'I/II' switch next to the headlight height adjustment toggles between the bumper lights and the ones in the headlight unit.

    • 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.
