Hey guys. I'm in a pickle. Bought a c34 rs4s and it came with a 34gtr seat. Beautiful seat nice and huggie. But I can't get a Rwc with it.

Big ask but anyone in Melbourne want to lend me a seat and you can borrow my 34gtr seat. Will be 2 weeks tops.

Thanks in advance.

I always though 34gtr seats were legal? What makes them illegal?

They're probably being super picky as the seats don't match; If OP had a pair; they mightn't even care.

They usually ping you on seat base cushion height; if they're too low you're done.

I am a bit surprised though, especially if there's no need to mod rails; and your eyeline is central in the windscreen, you'd reckon it would be an easy one to approve.

All comes down to the person putting their name down and signing the roadworthy sheet, you might take the car somewhere else and they won't care about it but may pick up on something else aswell..

Spot on nick. This bloke picked on the least by far. So the things asked for were cheap and a bit easier to change. Others picked on windscreen shocks different bushes. Tires. All this will get sorted down the track but not things that need to be done right away.

    • 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.
