Hey guys, the name's joel. I'm new to the SAU forum and am the new owner of a 1998 ER34 :D
This is my first Nissan/skyline/turbo and I'm really happy with it!

2nd Australian owner and only has 81,000kms!

Came with a few modifications such as:

Full Nismo body kit

Sound System (will probably rip out the sub/amp. Will replace head unit eventually)
PDW 18" Wheels (will be replaced ASAP, probably going with XD9's)
HKS Mushroom

Fujitsubo Legalis Super R Muffler (not sure whether to keep and try and locate the rest of the system or just go full new system)

Came with factory floor mats and weather shields, unfortunately a mate accidentally snapped one so need to find another set or might get some carbon ones.

First mods I'll do will be pretty basic: wheels, coils, exhaust, FMIC, boost controller and BOV to start off with. Might de-wing it, maybe.

Only have photos from the carsales ad at the moment, will take and upload my own when I get a chance, she needs a wash first :D

Haven't updated this in months, progress has been slow but nevertheless!

Acquired some tein monoflex coilovers from a mate, practically brand new! Went in with ease over a sunny afternoon.

Then a few days ago finally acquired some new wheels!
Preowned Rays Volk TE37 in bronze

F: 18x8.5 +30

R: 18x9.5 +38

Popped them on the next arvo and loving the fitment! Nothing too crazy, didnt need any guard work either.

Just need to buy some new wheel nuts as I dont like my current ones and to source some centre caps too.

Put a nasty scratch in my rear bumper backing out of our new driveway the other day :/ will be next on the list to do!

That's it for now, more parts to come hopefully in the near future, which will include full exhaust, front mount, BOV, boost controller and tune.

      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.
