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.

Yeah sorry mate! Was in a hurry to get back to work, saw your car in the carpark and it all fell into place.

Facepalm.

All good man, good result on your taxi ;) sounded like its running more compression than std from what john was saying?

Not bad for a quick piggyback jobby. The compression thing is a mystery I guess untill the head gasket needs doing..?

I recently got a cheapy Comp tester so I'll check it and MAYBE that might give us some clues.

Spotted a red R35 - tried to chase up to him but mum was with me :( she was going cray-cray, so i slowed down :(

and saw my first R34 GTR on the road (moving), I gave him a MASSIVE ! point as he drove by, as I was screaming "THAT'S A R34 GTR !!" to my mum, she thought I was a lunatic and started screaming "IT'S A GTRRRRRR !!!!! " the guy gave me a weird look as we passed each other but I'm sure he knew we was just excited :3

the end.

      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.
