Guys,

For the people at the December club dinner will remember that I have ordered a FPV BF Typhoon, well I got it today.

For the people who do not know this car, it is a 270kw, 6 speed ZF Auto and HUGE brembo brakes.

Stock its good for a 13.2 1/4 and is one hell of a drive.

The build quality is much better than my previous XR6Turbo, so overall I am estatic with the new car.

Here are some pics.

The car is 1800kg wet.

I have owned 22 manuals and 2 autos.

I could have got a manual, but the 6sp ZF Auto is a unbelievable gearbox. It is like no other auto I have ever driven. My XR6T was a manual and while it was fun, it did not suite the Turbo motor as it dumped boost each gearchange, where the auto just keeps pulling all the way.

As for the 13.2, there have been several stock BF F6's that have run this time with everything totally stock. Once the motor free's up they may be good for a flat 13, if you stall it up. I also think it would break into the 12's with drag radials.

I do not know why Wheels and Motor cannot get good times, but it may have to do with the fact they tested it on a 40deg c day and as we all know turbos do not like hot days.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Have you tried to start it with AFM unplugged? From memory with TPS closed and AFM unplugged an RB25 will start and idle (won't rev). This will tell you it's either AFM, AFM wiring, or tune. You also said Z32 ECU with Nistune?  Have you made all the necessary changes like the change of the ABS input on the pin the Z32 uses for TPS closed? Was the Z32 specifically setup for RB25 S1 or S2 from R33? There are differences between that need mods done on Z32 ECU. What's the part number on your Z32 ECU?

      You've been so patiently waiting for your moment!  🤣 Haven't got enough time on the freeway. I did drive it up from Canberra but I have no idea how it did in this area.

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
