Hey guys and gals,

I'm Luke, I'm in the throws of finding the right R32 GTR to buy. I've wanted one for years and now is the right time to 'join the club'. A couple of mates have R34 GTR's. I love the 32's. Looking forward to finding the right car and then building it the way I want it - Nice driver, but not off it's head - sleek and beautiful.

Looking forward to the journey.

Cheers gang.

Welcome, good luck finding the right car. It's half the fun of the whole experience. Get good at finding GT-R related items as you will be spending the entire time you own the thing finding/replacing shit for it!

If you get the car for $15000, prepare for another $15000 to evaporate before too long.....

We all set out thinking that way! Mine has been in (various- moved twice since it's been in bits) sheds for the last 2 years in a million pieces. Life is a bastard at throwing shit at you to make time limited! Kids, work, sport, gardens, etc make it bloody hard to dedicate time to your baby. Maybe I'm just crap at time management! Anyway, all the best, good luck finding a good one!

      ZF 6HP26 to RB30 block

      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.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      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.
