Not Skylines, but saw a red NSX drive past my house on friday night :D

And a VE SS that someone was test driving... Ugh. I was willing to withhold my judgement on the way they look until I saw one in the flesh. It's in. F-U-G-L-Y :D

Myself and two other 'lines in a brief mini convoy down Ginninderra Drive this evening about 5.30pm.

There was what I think was a black/deep purple R32, a similarly coloured debadged R33 behind him, and me bringing up the rear in my silver R33. The R32 turned right towards McKellar and the guy behind him continued down Gin. Didn't get more details than that though...

Im pretty sure that would have been me... When I went to grab something out of it in the morning I was like "Which one is mine again?" as they look so damn similar. You must have good tastes! :O

i thought it was you. i was gonna come along-side and give a wave, but you sped up a little. i would've followed you to say hi, cause i haven't met you yet, but i was running late for other stuff i had going on....

maybe next time :(

also, last night at jerra, a grey R33 with an SAU sticker on the rear window drove though the carpark at about 7:15. anyone wanna own up to not coming and saying hi? :(

Saw a silver Stagea on the Barton Highway last night. Pretty sure it would’ve been terminal??? Anyway, thanks for the warning about the speed trap PAL… Fortunately I was travelling at the posted speed limit but a little heads up wouldn’t have gone astray.

Flash Flash???

Also spotted myself being pulled over 3 times in the last two days by my friends in blue. Is something in the water? On all three occasions they pulled me up and said g’day commented on the car a bit, did a license and rego check. And told me to have a nice day??? The first guy was even asking about insurance and fuel prices… Thanks for stopping me for the chat officers, if we keep up this healthy working relationship I’ll be quite happy. None of them gave me much grief about the car either. The second couple of blokes asked about the battery in the boot but that was about it…

I think they're just trying to make you feel like there's always someone watching. I've heard that the police are currently having one of their "blitz sessions" so it's probably something to do with that. Suppose keep doing nothing wrong and you'll be fine

Hey JaiJai, dont mean to sound like a prick, but its realy not a good idea to say where you have seen parked cars, as there are way to many want to be crims that read these forums.

We are all guilty of doing this too, but with current state of affairs its just not you know...

Thanks

My bad - lesson learnt wil edit just in case

    • 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.
