Hi,

Im looking at buying a 1988 Skyline Ti with 13000 kms on the clock and i want to make sure there legit km's.

Is it possible to do a REV's check online to find out information such as last recorded km's from service agents with a pre 1989 car?

If so where can i do it.

If it helps the Chassis #CJR31V67681

Also could anyone tell me what the numbers and letters mean:

I know that the R31 is the model

but not sure about the rest.

Cheers

I'm not sure if you can check the km's by doing a revs check, Ide be extremely suspect on a 1988 model car with only 13000kms on it.

Heres the website to do a revs check on http://revscheck.com.au/ Make sure you do the check in the state that the car is currently registered in.

A good way to know if the kms are legit is just by looking at the general condition of the car.

Hope this helps and good luck with the buy!

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      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.
