PPG ftw.....quality of workmanship on their gears is unbelieveable....when i worked at triumph rover spares...PPG was just starting up..and my boss bought a couple of gearsets for the W58 supra boxes to go in his track car and his classic adelaide/targa car......we put the boxes together in our workshop and when the boss took me for a spin in his Triumph TR8...even though it only had something like 270kw....having the PPG gearset in there made the gear changes like a shift kitted auto...it was..and still is one of the fastest accelerating cars ive ever been in.....

I don't wanna know how much I've spent so far but on the car it's close to 25-30k I reckon.

I'll be speaking to ppg later on about some gearsets, but there is a nice hks dog box forsale on the auctions for around 7-8k del. Hmm choices, but I'm broke atm :)

Well I'm heading out the door now for the 10 hour drive to Phillip Island. ;)

I don't really follow the V8s, but guess I got the best seat there ... and thank God they've got some Australian Superbike racing there too ;)

Got my SAU hoodie. If I see a TV camera (no doubt I will), I'll be sure to represent :P See all you lads again when I get back on Monday night. :)

also, FML FTW

Today, I found out why my husband had wanted to wait until marriage to get it on. Last night was the first night of our honeymoon, and he informed me that he wasn't always Ben, but used to be Brenda. His 'penis' doesn't work and he had wanted to know I "truly loved him" before he had let me know. FML
Today, we went to the mall and my husband picked me out some perfume. When I asked him why he liked that particular one he responded with, "that's what's the stripper at my bachelor party was wearing." He was completely serious. FML
Today, I was working at a hospital-level rest home. I was making the rounds when I noticed a woman was sitting in her (electric) wheelchair in the middle of the hall. Going closer I saw her battery was flat so I said "Uh-oh! Looks like you've died." She bawled her eyes out and said "Not yet." FML
Today, I realized that the shorts I have been wearing all day say "Juicy" on the ass. My name is John. FML
Today, I woke up, took a shower, made some pasta, drank 3 glasses of water and brushed my teeth. I then left my apartment to see signs posted all over warning us not to use the water without boiling it because the water company just found E-coli in the water. FML
Thats one thing im worried about. Im either gonna get it pulled down and some ppg goodies put in or go something like a HKS dog box and sell the getrag.

thought about a close ratio os giken gearset with larger input shaft etc

what will ya be using your car for if ya got a ppg not very street friendly my mate has a dogbox in his sr20det pulsar for drags/track great for track and drags not so good on the street

and who wants to wear there dogbox out on the street anyway not worth it.

i was gonna get one but till i thought about it was not suitable for my setup to have plus 9 to 10k for ppg box i think last i looked at em.

    • 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.
