Hi everyone,

I wasn't really sure where to post this but I'm trying to retrofit an R35 BMC and booster to my R32 GTR. I know the brake lines on the BM50 are M10x1.0, but I can't for the life of me find any information on the thread size on the BMC of the R35 which I believe is called J069?

I know this is probably a long shot but if someone could bless me with the correct thread size that would be marvelous!

Thanks in advance!

I'm already in contact with him, but thanks!

Reason I made a new post is because he isn't 100% sure what size the fittings are, and I was wondering if maybe there was someone who does know.

I'll figure it out sooner or later! (Latest when I buy an R35 BMC and realise my current braided lines don't fit haha!)

Sorry for the late reply, the fitting is actually M12x1.0. Regarding the picture of the wiring, do you mean the wiring for the fluid level sensor? If so, this is just a simple + and - circuit.

      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.
