Dude i think you will probably find its more bother than its worth.. in my experience these sorts of things tend to turn out costing more than the car itself. Is there a specific reason you wanted to go 6 speed?

what mods have you done to your gts-t, thanks

what about a r34 gtr box with the transfer box removed (if it's possible) or just with the front drive shaft removed

Same as the 350Z box but with a different Bell housing, so same deal really, eeither cut the transfer case off the GTR box or make a bell housing adapter for the 350Z box...which I belive Mark @ Hills motorsport in Castle Hill were developing a kit do do exactly that.

Im only starting brother, its pretty stock at the moment- turbo back zorst, coil overs, intake, R34smic and a slight boost increase. I plan on a hiflow turbo, upgraded injectors and front mount soon. I will be happy with around 250rwkw.

Your 25/30 build sounds f**king promising though! I think the whole idea of the 6 speed is great in theory, but probably way too costly to make it worth it. Definitely worth looking around at it though and getting some prices, i always wish my liner had an extra gear on the highway.

thanks man, down the line when im finished the engine ill probably go all out with the 6 speed gearbox,

but atm ,

im up to getting the mods (in progress) and fitting them, tuning it, work out all the kinks, lay down some 1/4 mile times, hopefully some track runs

and then worry about cruising down the highway in six ,haha, would be sweet though.

cheers.

    • 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.
