Just throught i would share my current build. First skyline i have ever bought and love it.

Bought my 1996 r33 Gtst about a year ago like this :

post-113507-0-04885600-1432555162_thumb.jpg

Had some pretty horrific problems though, Coils were ratsh!t, suspension was way too low and stiff causing front guard damage, Gasket between manifold and turbo was 75% gone, wheel bearings front brakes just to name a few. (also the car was completely covered in little jewel beads! First thing to go! )

So after a few months getting it all sorted and working well i decided to get some mods:

Plazmaman FMIC

Aftermarket boost guage

Blitz coilovers

ces racing split dump and front pipe

3 inch exhaust

boost T

CAI

Catch Can

To then look like this:

So now down the track i have caught the bug again and am looking to do some more mods and get it on the dyno:

My list is

Kando td67-25g 4" 10cm turbo - bought waiting delivery

Tial 44mm gate

z32 ecu

z32 AFM

nistune

770cc injectors - unsure which brand yet

fuel pump

Hoping to put this on stock manifold with spacer as i hear it can be done? Also hoping to modify the dump pipe to a vband and run the wastegate to the existing pipe on the dump with the gate coming off the rear turbo housing.

More pics to follow shortly and any advise or tips is very welcomed!

I love this forum it is a wealth of knowledge and has saved me ALOT of heart ache!

      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.
