so fingers crossed, i will have an ugly green zzw30 sitting in my driveway in the next couple of months, getting ready to bring it over, 28 days left before COE runs out.

kristian from iron chef is going to be doing the paperwork part.

I do this every few months, have 2-3 blokes around and we all work on our cars and have a bbq :) Lots of swearing and knuckle scraping fun :)

I could potentially see problems doing this with SAUVIC in an official capacity, insurance issues if we're doing it at a workshop etc :/

I'll put the call out for wastelanders next time I'm going to have a car weekend though :D

Yeah thought it might be a bit difficult having the official SAU VIC affiliated.

I'm currently organising one for my other car club in August, would love to see some Skylines there and if there's enough interest bring the BBQ down (I have a large shed / factory down in Mordialloc that fits several cars inside and plenty of cars outside to work on the cars).

Drez you must be Dezz's brother

He wishes.

Don't think my mate has had any issues with his A6...

When the time comes I'll have trouble deciding between something like a C63/other euro performance car and a 35 GTR or something...

Adam when are you buying a 7?

Iunno mate

I'm in so many minds right now

Have never intentionally looked for a car, they've always just jumped at out me and I've impulse bought

Yeh it's highly likely I was just unlucky but having said that I know a few people who have had issues with audi / vw

Just get a long ass warranty that's ya best bet lol

Should give that 'intentionally looking for a car' thing a go.

Never works. I think I'd have to have one kind of car in mind for it to work, and even then, the bonus behind the impulse buy is that ironically you aren't rushing in to buying a car, you're waiting for just the right one to come along.

I'm a sucker for clean and stock interiors. The moment I see dirt / wear / kustom bitz I close the window.

Oh ok.

Wastelanders, any of you guys know where to get service reminder stickers? Those little stickers where you place in the windscreen to remind you when to service.
Could only find American ones on ebay...

Or am I the only one having the trouble remembering?

Don't they come with each bottle of oil these days?

    • 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.
