6 year old JAG wallet brah checkin in

Don't feel the need to change it either, never been one really for fashion tho

i think i got my JAG wallet back in 05. still trucking, the only bit that failed was the plastic in the ID card slot.

looooool - clearly not the sole reason for cessation of production, definitely played a part

remove head - fit ARP studs - replace head with new OEM gasket - strong as houses

Dinner and Bistro Vue then hotel

not even...standard headbolts will suffice as long as threads are tapped clean and correct (not OEM) torque is applied and retorqued after 1000kms or so.....its around 75ft/lb instead of factory spec'd 55 ft/lb iirc...

the original design was based around an asbestos HG...new laws disallowed this at the last minute toyota had to change their gasket design to not contain asbestos....unfortunately this meant the torque specs should of changed but with no time for RnD on the new gasket it didnt happen...so the average lifespan is about 100,000kms.....OEM Headgaskets have been redesigned a few times to help solve the problem but (some) aftermarket gaskets have of course copied their design by now so most quality branded ones will work fine.....The real issue is in the torque specs...

and that concludes todays lesson on ye olde 7mge boys and girls...

real life.....

roses are red.

my hsv is blue.

i was going to buy you something.

but i spent it on fuel.

its funny coz its true :rofl:

I watched an early season 1 episode, where they briefly discussed GTR's and came to the conclusion that the 34 GTR is the best one, but the 33 was best value for money.

The 33 and the 34 are 90% the same, biggest differences being the wheelbase, attessa computer and gearing. The rest of the differences really come down to personal preference though I think we can all agree the interior trim and general build quality is better on a 33.

Well it does make sense, BBC is heavily controlled by the UK Government, so there is def some political motives to promote UK brands and keep local production alive...

    • 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.
