Hey all

Im buying a set of XD9s.

I cant decide between gunmetal grey and black...

Ive never seen the gunmetal in person which makes it hard. Does anybody have any pics of them on car? and there coming from interstate...

the gray does look dark but its hard to see whithout really seeing them in the light etc

There going on a white 33 GTR.

Yeah the gunmetal is nowhere near as dark as the picture you put up the top.. Got mine from JDM concept too. There are pics of them on my white R33 too and off in the sun here if this link works : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389915-work-xd9-gunmetal-mgm/

Yeah they're really not.. I liked them on the white car.. Though I wanted black in the first place and if I still had the car I'd have gotten them powdercoated black by now.

Only reason i got the gunmetal was due to the 3 months or so wait for the black ones at the time - with plans to make them black eventually.

Black with the dish on all 4 wheels on the GTR would look nice I reckon.

Actually I'll have a look tonight - someone on here has/had the black XD9's on a white 33 GTR, think I have the pic saved somewhere.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      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.
