Are you aware the CD009 will become the lowest point on the car? They hang a LOT lower than the chassis rails, just an FYI. 

What you need is a Samsonas....... 

lol... fuark the peer pressure is real, also my car isn't that low (as you can see in the photos).

Paintjob looks mad.... did you take the strut towers off to do a rust repair while engine out?

 

E.g.

We sanded the towered back to bare metal around the rust areas, wasn't as bad as those photos. Hit is mum with rust converter and re-sealed, then painted over.

For real, I am currently shopping for a very expensive gearbox while my clutch is out. (???? cars...)

Buy once, cry once, then enjoy the benefit.

That said is there actually any benefit with a Samsonas for your intended use 😛

Somebody please do a BMW DCT conversion. There is a GTR kit now for the transfer case too.

I looked into this for the LS! It looks like there's an adaptor plate for the LS, and the gearbox itself....

... and nothing else. No easy to find dimensions/sizes of things, no electronics, 
Noone sells the rest of the 'kit' to make it actually 'work'.

But I wish they did >.>

I'm looking at this for the Silvia using HGTs stand alone. It "appears" on paper to not be that much more than CD009 conversion, but obviously with a little more work/complexity. 

As my car will only be a little 4cyl, I am hoping I can get away with the ZF8HP70 or 75. 

Flappy paddle last minute corner entry/exit changes would be pretty hektik though...

Very sex, this is why you see M2/3/4s at Wakefield just fly out of the fish hook, all the manual boys trying to rev match, shift dis dat, they're just cycling through the gears and flying out.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
