sorted out the rear brake disks - gong alloy hat with standard handbrake - prob end up with 330-343 rotor on the rear

front should be able to take a 343 or 350 mm rotor - this will depend on the internal clearance of the work meisters

Enemie - you'll need to decide what rotor size you want to run then get an adapter made to suit.

Specialised Brake and Clutch in Penrith is hooking me up with the brackets and everything i need.

343mm seems to be the largest rotor the front caliper can handle without machining the the ends for rotor clearance - pad position is only a couple of mm above the rotor edge on the 355mm

Enemie - if you are really keen pm with the cars details and the rotor size you want, i'll see if i can get a bracket to match machined to suit your choices and car

well turns out im running 2 piece 355mm rotors front and rear

rear calipers are being spaced wider to allow for a thicker rotor on the rear to bring it back to an easily obtainable non custom rotor

what thickness are the rotors?

can get this stuff tomorrow - basically letting them take the head on this one, im just doing to coating on the parts as they finish them and since this isnt a retail purchase i cant tell you any prices.

i was expecting the rears to be 343mm but when they arrived for me to coat i realised they were the same as the fronts

think i recall that the hard annodised alloy hats for the rear end are over $900 a pair

- obviously a single piece rotor could be used

yeah - but not sure when it will be finished lol

this is being done in spare time as a favour kind of thing - so its not getting a high priority

only thing left was the rear brackets and caliper spacers (to fit the rears over wider disks)

then get the calipers back for me to coat then back to them to check in case a rebuild is required.

What are you guys paying (roughly) for adapters/dogbones to adapt the evo brembo's to skyline hubs?

Who has a good 355mm rotor/adapter combo they can share?

Cheers

Justin

    • 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.
