Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

Yep;spotted you just near the Vid' shop...

I'd love to say I'll be in my R32 GT-R,but unless last night's PowerBall numbers were kind to me,I'm more likely to be in the 1/2 million kilometre old NA Liberty GX...whimper. However,you may see my wife's car around;a gold Sube' Forester,slammed on 20's with a big STi scoop etc. A fairly hard car to miss...

There's a gold 33,carbon bonnet and no/minimal boot spoiler that lives in Jerra'-Darryl is the man in question. Neat car! Might be the one you've seen?

yeah man i seen it heaps, has she had work done by that guys at that servo on lanyon drive?

coz i think i was in there admiring the car when the bloke said "yeah it belongs to a lady but her partner's car is even better, she is alowed to spend on her car to keep her happy witch keeps you him happy when he wants to spend" gave me a little chuckle.

Yep;the gang at Integra have looked after both hers and mine over the years. The more she spends on hers,the more my rebuild is going to be worth it...

This is the 'Resta upon purchase:

And currently(a work in progress....)

So,if you want to use some imagination,here's a 'before rebuild' photo of the GT-R...

And after...

The physical shape wont change-it's the original Godzilla,so I couldn't change perfection!-but if you thought it was good before,well...

E's tint was Terry at Instant Windscreens in Fyshwick-the ONLY fella to be allowed near our cars for tinting!

pretty sure i spotted tj in civic this afternoon. also a burgandy r33.

i was on northbourne in the ute with the bonnet up waiting for the nrma. you know why?

- someone bought it for $1500

- called me up 10 mins later to say 'it just died'

- i gave him back the money, he left

- nrma arrives, reckons somehow they'd somehow jammed the key onto 'start' and been driving with the starter motor spinning?!

but i'm not bitter.

Hot plates!

Pfft.. I wouldn't wave to you anyway :wacko: nah, not you..

You heard much from manpower? I asked my TL how you went, and he said you were pretty good.

EDIT: Not Manpower as in the naked guys.. but the recruiting agency that ATO (my work) uses to employ people.

haven't heard anything yet. keeping my fingers crossed. i'm only doing bunnings twice a week, i'm that sick of it. it's good tho, it's like a paid holiday! but yeah, guess i'll wait and see. thanks for the heads up ps again. will see u soon.

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      By ELVIS · Posted

      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.

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
