I know you are all (mostly) import fans here, but I found this video and thought it was pretty cool and interesting.

Its always good to know about the other cars (domestics) and we can all agree that Ford > Holden.

Anyway hope you all enjoy! >_<

F6 Tornado vs Super Pursuit

With that type of launch I wouldnt mind lining them up :D.......Aust jurnos are idiots.

V8 turbo = no Tornado can catch :laugh:

I wouldnt mind seeing the torque curve on those two. One thing going against the V8 is its a heavier beast.

That video is a joke as they have no idea how to launch a car.

The new Auto Typhoon/Tornado has been clocked at 0-100km/h in 5.1 and the 1/4 in a 13.2 straight from the factory. If you plug a Ford Edit into it, expect a mid 12sec 1/4.

These cars are simply awsome with the new ZF 6 speed auto.

13.2, i dont think so. With 260kw and all that barge it would be in the high end of 13's with a good driver ..

the v8 has 290 and 520 going for it

while the i6t has 270 and 550 - the most torque ever for an ozzy built car

un freakin believable

wait till they come out with the territory turbo and then see if they adapt the drivetrain from that and put it in a sedan mmmmm 245kw i6t all wheel drive

interesting.....

however, i was concerned about the size of the wing mirrors on the ute. the whole time i was totally sh1tting myself, wondering if she could see what was happening behind her ;)

HAHA!

i have driven my sisters Typhoon on a number of times its a lot faster then my liner but doesn’t handle as good all wheel drive would b awesome. Cant wait to see some footage of the DRIF6 Typhoon

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
