Will i need the slots put back in once i get them machined? i got him to slot them last time.

no they will only take off a fraction of a mm when the machine them and Matt generally slots them deep enough that the rotors will be stuffed before you get to the bottom of the slots.

You know of any pictures floating around?

What made you want to keep the 34?

Actually i do have these pics that he sent me when i first enquired:

Keeping the 34 because i realised i kept talking myself into wanting to sell it, had no real reason for it. I mean shit, you're only young once!

Yeah your 34 is mint as gosh darn lol, good call.

Got a price in mind for when you sell the 31?

Aha, shes not a bad looker either Dan :P

thanks man, i really do love the 34.

when i fix it, the battery wont drain when its off, and all youll need is someone to wind the boost up. The Jaycar boost controller connects to one injector, and theres a few values to adjust, so its not as simple as turning a knob or pressing up. Dunno on price, still gotta transfer it into my name, throw some rego on, maybe 4200ish?

Damo when are you taking the 34 for the grip session.....keeen to take the 33 out there as well

now need to get a helmet......anyone know of a good cheapo one thats approved for the track

rofl...carsguide published my entry to try and get my wife to be a test driver for the new FPV...

My wife, Nicky has been an avid ford lover all her life, From growing up around a drag racing father who had an XA GT to nowadays owning her AU Fairmont 5.0. Her dream car is the mighty XY GTHO which with our budget is completely out of reach .I would love for her to have the opportunity to "test" (re flog) a new FPV, i believe it would fulfill one of her goals in life

heres hoping she wins

f**k yeah my GTR f**king lives again. :):);):woot:

After 9 long months of doing sweet f**k all in my driveway, never turned on... fired up first pop today! No smoke, no funny sounds, no bullshit.

Pulled off the error codes: 2 dead Oxygen sensors. Getting them replaced as I type this.

Throwing her on the dyno tomorrow for a good solid run, tune and checking of the fuel pump, etc.

FINALLY. It's been too f**king long.

    • 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.
