Welcome back T.

Parents' divorce can be tough - I was only about 8 yo when mine split up, similar reasons, still trying to understand it now! Dad passed away 4.5 years ago and this has made it very difficult to find out his side - just mentioned that cause its his birthday today - would have been 59.

Anyhow dude, stay strong and focus on school, skylines will always be around :D

good to see - keep up the interest in cars, and whatever else you are keen on, will help to take your mind off the bad. Takes a man to be up front up about things like that too. Good stuff!

thanks Gordo ;)

Take it easy mate, my parents too divorced about 12yrs ago, he was always abusive, drunk and cheating.

Think of the positives from the situation, my mum is happier now, she & I are stronger people and I know sure as hell I'll never be a father or husband like that. Not even in the slightest of ways.

If you want to chat any time feel free to give me a yell.

Look after your Mum be strong for her and take care of yourself!

take it easy

Mark

:cheers:

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • 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.
