Homebush bay IS the most central to all of sydney. Maybe next week we can organise it there, we actually used to have a few fortnightly meets there. OK hows this nancy i'm afraidy of cops boys.......i'll go to the city as planned at 10pm, then come across north, meet maybe at north sydney under the bridge? I'll call anyways!

Bunch of damn tight arses!:shake:

i had an encounter last sat when they pulled us over for alleged illegal drag racing at a back street. no proof so couldnt do $hit. Tried to look for defects and RBT, no luck either.

Dave, why you always askin dumb questions?? Ok listen carefully! I will be meeting in the city under the bridge at 10pm, incase people have relied on that info from the previous posts. We will leave shortly after 10pm to meet with the chatties crew who have already met up by 9:30pm The city crew (me) will then proceed to meet you at chatties or sumwhere along the way. Since nick is always damn late it should work out perfect. :D

    • 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.
