not convinced about Ladyboy Gaga just yet, but until confirmation....

oh, and just heard on the news that a Skyline was driving erratically on a reserve off Gorge Rd, Athelstone last night. Apparently residents reporting it to the police on fire somewhere in the area. If it was thieves, sorry to the owner, if it was the owner, tough f**king luck.

well, the 200 made 171rwkw. dirty and untuned on 14psi (the turbotech wouldnt go lower without fallin apart...).

its leaning out a little bit in the top end though. thinking afm might be a little out of it.

now shopping for a z32/r33 afm (whatever will see 220rwkw and be cheap, lol) and a fuel pump.

also dropped in on w.e.b suspension/modbury tyrepower and had a look for that knocking noise i can hear on corners.

dave who works there spent the better part of an hour checking basically ever nut, bolt, bush and bearing in the front end. all sweet.

then we noticed the passenger side engine mount, its pretty much farked. so ill be hunting for a new set of mounts me thinks.

best part is, he didnt charge a cent, which was pretty awesome considering how long he spent under my car...

Still very very respectful figure. Nice you got the knock source kind of sorted too.

    • 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.
    • 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.
