Ok well had my car fully done with the veilside kit and chrome rims and all the other show stuff and turned alot of heads. But due to me getting side swipped earlier this year it gave me the oportunity to give it a whole new look and change it up a bit. So it started about june this year, took it down to the boys at the panel shop fully strip it down to nothing and start the new body work, role the rear guards, shave the aerial, side indicators and boot, fit m3 mirrors, customize the combat R rear bar, Drift wing, Bomex Sides, Do-Luck GTR front, GTR aluminium bonnet, Widen front guards, custom 2 tone paint with diamondesque pearl and a couple of other suttle things that'll be my secret. Then straight from the panel shop down to my mates tyre show for some AXIS Hiro rims to be fitted, then drive it for 1 week and then straight of to have the engine removed and fully rebuilt, which is were it is now. From there it'll be going to get the interior and stereo done.

So let me know what you think....

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
