Hey guys,

Just thought I'd stop in an introduce myself, I'm John from over in NZ.

Just brought my first Skyline a couple of months ago from over in Japan, first car I've imported so has been a bit of an experience!

Had quite a few mods done to it in Japan; rough list for you...

R33 block, forged, 272 IN & EX cams, adjust cam gears

Nismo LM RR581 Twin turbos

HKS exhaust from dump pipes back

Greddy 150mm thick intercooler

Sard 720cc injectors

OS Giken triple plate clutch

ATS LSD's

Adjustable upper arms etc, heaps of Cusco sway bars

Sard alloy radiator

Trust oil cooler & relocator

Work Emotion CR wheels

Hicas delete

Ignition amplifier

Heaps of electronic bits like gauges etc

Soild mounted gearbox and all sorts of little things like that

HKS F Con V pro, this unforunately got stolen at the docks when it arrived into the country, I have since got insurance however and have replaced it with a Link G4 plug in, went to get it tuned and found it had an exhaust leak, so I had to strip the turbos off, was such a prick of a job that I have scrapped the twin turbos and am in the process of putting a single turbo on it, manifold is being made at the moment for a Bullseye performance S366 Borg Warner turbo, wastegate etc and then a new tune, haven't been able to drive the car yet to i'm dying to get it going!!

Finally a couple of pictures:

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      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.
