i am well aware that there are faster cars out there, i just want something that can go moderately fast and skylines do the trick for that amount of money i put in. also i like the look of the skyline so i'm happy, in addition, i have already bought the car so no use crying over spilt milk.

so it seems that it will do it in 8 seconds, thanks for you help guys!

I'd like to see 8 seconds flat on a G tech timer with a standard N/A...won't happen...and if it does, you'll have to be bang on the mark with launch and gear change. It'll be closer to 9 on average. Still decent for a daily driver but don't expect to be beating Commodores and Falcons unless they are shit drivers.

all irrelevant. unless your going below 6.5 seconds it all feels the same anyways. the difference between 8 and 9 seconds is nothing on the road......only on paper, or if you cant count. just enjoy it, and get a turbo one when you can :thumbsup:

Duno about that, my n/a just had a catback exhaust and smashed fords and holdens with exhausts, dynoed at 123 rwkw

Depends if you get a clean example.

id bring this back to the key issues people so often overlook- tyres n suspension

yeah with stock tyres n suspension id agree with those sad times for both de & DET.

throw some decent rims n tyres at em and even suspension (my 33 DE had this) n it is considerably quicker. Go to the drags, its all about getting that power down quickly.

my mates R33 does it in 6.8 (shitty timing skills but wouldn't be much over 7secs) his car is freaky tho :S he bought it off a guy who knew NOTHING about it.. however it had 2k worth of suspension upgrades and some wheels on there so never know the previous owner might have done something performance wise...

on the other hand my N/A r34 GT with an ecu and tune does it in 7.7 secs so far with a average launch but not the worst. so i'd say around 8-9 for a stock one

    • 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.
