for the sale of saving weight and shit

have you ladies ever considered a r31 pintara non power steering rack?

i have run r32/r33/r31 racks in my cars

the pinny is the winner

not very plesant when reverse parking though

just a thought

we have got a selection of "light weight" PS components off other cars so not the standard setup.

thanks for the heads up thoe.

Oh and have you seen Bens arms. he struggles to turn a shopping trolly without power steering!!!

Hey Ben, whats the deal with letting Damo out of the shed? I thought he was YOUR bitch?

But last sunday I see him towing a horse float while the sun was still up? Surely you don't let him go home before dark? Sheesh!

he needs some good horse sex to keep his ennergy up, and if he didn't take the horse out coby wouldn't cook his tea.

i could probably get a pintara rack from a car on bricks in ravo (like maqaree fields but way more hoona)

and who the hell can steer a shopping trolly!

Do i spy fancy looking engine mounts in one of those pics?

also. how did you get the alloy sheet for the ECU mount and fuse? panel so smooth?

Mounts are R31 specials. lol. $15 each brand new.

how do you mean smooth?

ive been hobby working with alloy for a few years now and its a pain in the ass. it marks way to easy. its 3mm thick so it hold its shape.

usually i use a green scoring pad to give a brushed alloy look but used 1000 or 4000 grit sand paper to give a brushed alloy look.

By smooth i mean it doesnt look like it will take a finger off if you touched an edge...but you did just say you have been playing with it for a while....im just wonding the best way to cut and bend it to shape.

as far as i know it's just a painted std mount, the engine didn't have one attached when i got it, so we scanvenged it.

easy, take pics with a phone camera :P

    • 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.
