A few of those have been around for a coupleof years now

I think it was ACA that did a feature on some guy with a black VU Commodore SS ute that had a huge "THIS CAR IS A LEMON" sticker up the side of the car

At least the guy's got new car warranty behind him, I know what it's like to be stuck with an old lemon that needed a fix every week or two

lol I'd love to see a skyline driver try that shit about their car... "sent a letter to NISSAN, they offered me a pat on the back and told me to fcuk off and die". At least he got a free service, If it was that faulty I'd be selling it as soon as the warranty period was over.

The XR6Turbo is a awsome car and great value for money.

Very few have problems, but the ones that do are generally fixed under the new car warranty. I know the guy who owns that car and his problems are mainly due to his pathetic dealer. This seems to be the biggest problem with Ford is their woeful dealer service network. They will try to weasel their way out of warranty work, but if you are persistant, the problems are fixed eventually.

My XR6T is my first Ford, but I have just ordered a FPV typhoon as a replacement, so I guess you could say I am happy overall. While I had some issues with my car, I did not take the dealers BS and all the problems were sorted out.

welcome to last year!

i was going to say the same thing, but its a different car this time...both were XR6T's though...

that being said, thats 2 out of a shit load that have been sold...every manufacturer has lemons, thats what happens in mass production.

being a big ford fan i was on a ford forum for some time before coming here and buying a skyline, and ive heard all about fords terrible excuse for customer service.

they got the cars right with the BA series, but customer service went completely down the drain

yeh i rekon xr6t are good, the problem is the production line, usually the faulty ones are the ones that they rush on a friday orvo to fininsh building, or they leave them on a friday arvo half done for someone else to fininsh on a monday, i have found thats the common problem.

Oh theres definately lots of lemons around. Back in Feburary 2005 Motor tested a Typhoon and the first day they had it the clutch f**ked up hardcore and couldnt be driven so Ford rushed them out another typhoon and after 8 laps around winton the Clutch in that f**ked up aswell and couldnt be driven at all.

hahahhaha ford Accused them of flat shifting (Keeping the gas on while sihfting gears), while they said they didnt do that at all they raised the issue of why this wouldnt of then been tested anyhow knowing that certain drivers would do this.

Seen a Territory on the northern beaches with a big similar sticker saying what a piece of shit lemon it was raving on for ages and ages.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
