i really haven't noticed any bad XR6t drivers. i always see the commodore drivers. whether it's the mum behind the wheel or a P plater. My mum drives a commodore and she really can't drive, same goes for my girlfriends mum.

I was only thinking this morning that I haven't heard any XR6t's being pushed. i would like to because they apparently sound great.

i hear more silvia's being thrashed than new falcon or commodores.

I probably drive my skyline and charade harder than most people drive their fords and holdens, not that I am reckless or break the law, just accelerating, breaking and cornering.

in all ohenesty, I think that most family cars will beat most stock gtst's off the line, unless the gtst driver gets a great launch. the ease of launch combined with the additional torque can make the standard commodore or falcon difficult to beat. i'm not saying they are better cars, just difficult to beat off the line.

I dont really have a problem with XR6T drivers... just Honda Accord Euro drivers. They cannot drive for shit and think the cars are the best things in the world. NEWSFLASH FOR ANYONE THAT OWNS ONE: They are slow ass cheap wannabe luxury cars. Stop acting posh thinking your car is on the same level as a 5 series+ BMW.

i think a lot of import drivers feel threatened by domestically sold turbo 6's.

Yeah especially woth the XR6T, The VLT isnt as much of a threat as it uses a Skyline engine anyway.

Well this doesnt have much to do with Turbo 6s but we just brought a VL V8 Calais with a worked 308, anyway since we had a hire car me and my mum were driving behind dad in the Calais as we were on the other side of Katoomba.

So we're sitting at the lights when this group of P Platers pulled up beside dad i in a Hyundai Accent, so the tosser must of thought "Hey that guy has a V8 im gonna try and act like a hard c*nt* so he proceeds to rev his little 4 banger in attempt to drag the V8 Calais.

I seriously dont know why people in shitty little 4 bangers try and run V8s, seriously I drove the Calais and the torque would've left the ricer in the dust, as its probably making about 200-250rwhp.

Should we end this discusion now!

Idiots wil always be idiots no matter what car they drive .

Whether it be a skyline,holden or a ford, its still a car and behind the wheel an idiot, hoon or bogan is still an accident waiting to happen. Egos are a dangerous thing so keep them for playing Gturismo {playstation}

BY the way XR6T's are still the best thing Ford has put out of the factory since GTHO's :cool:

I wouldnt mind having a brief blast against an XR6 with no other cars around, 4 ltr turbo sounds like a powerful beast to me I'm not interested in people driving up beside me comparing a R33 skyline that has a different paint colour to mine... Maybe they think red is faster than my white? strange...

And I don't feel threatened by an XR6 or anything like that, they're well known to be faster than a GTS (this site even has faster times posted) and I'd buy an XR6 if I

A) Could afford the car

B) Afford the fuel

C) put up with the heavy high off the ground feel

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
