Thanks Aaron, I'll probably be buying coilovers in the next few months. The only mods I've done so far are the headunit and gear knob haha.. poor effort I know.

Lol Thats all they need. Please don't put a pod in there for fully sick VTec sounds

Hi Guys,

I have been out of the scene for a while now, my last performance car was an RX3 13B Turbo which I sold 12 months ago.

I owned an R32 GTR many, many moons ago (2002) and have wanted to buy another R ever since.

Well, the time has come, I have bought a 2002 R34 GTR V-Spec II and am will be flying over to Perth and bringing her home in a few weeks.

I am looking forward to getting involved with SAU VIC and have paid for a membership about a week ago, just waiting for it to come through.

Here are a few photos, not very good ones and the car is really dirty, but you get the idea.

Nice!

Welcome aboard Shaun!

Bring it along to one of our monthly Garage Cafe Meets or otherwise to our annual SAU VIC Show n Shine next month!

Edit: Or if want a bit more fun, bring it along to one of the upcoming track days or DECA at the end of the year

Nice pickup, brake porn!

Damn straight, I am stoked about the fact it has the Endless set up. 6 pot front with 370mm discs and 4 pot rear.

Nice!

Sounds good.

I am definitely keen on the show n shine and would be good to get to a cafe meet before that to say hello.

Good time to get back involved with the FA's mate

It's all still alive and kicking - first event, should be SAU Nats - Funny that all the FA's are coming up for that as well looks like ;)

Absolutely!!

I am meeting up with Darren and Dan in October to say hello, haven't seen the boys in years.

How is everyone going to get their cars to the Nats? Drive or Truck?

Darren & Dan... two that we never see either lol.

Driving mate - No doubt a thread will go up in the events section (VIC) - it'll be some stupid epic convoy of 50 cars. I can see it already in my daydreams :D

That 34 GTR looks perfect! Good buy

Thanks.

Talking of FA, check out these very old school photos (actual photos I had tp scan) from a Nando's meet back in 2001 (i think) and a photo of the crew at the Jamboree to see the HKS Drag R33 GTR.

My Car was the white 32 GTR with stock wheels. Jacks Z is in there and Darren's 32 GTR, also a few LS1 boys by the look of it.

I can even see Ben's (aka Racepace) 33 GTR from back in the days when it was running the big single and those white Sparco wheels.

I remember that night, it was my first time to get a ride in the RPM GTR - ahhh, the memories of the big single, and the noise it made when it cracked gate!!

    • 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.
