mate just brough an xr6t and while probably quicker, it doesnt feel as violent when shifting through gears (and comming on boost). so it had quiet a smooth power delivery compared to my line. only having around 170rwkws mine certianly feels like its going harder but im sure it aint.. ;)

IIRC the XR6T has a 14.1 sec stock quarter mile time and the R33 has a 14.4.

But then you have to realize that your comparing an 18k car to a 35k car. Likewise the XR6T is newer, and should have alot better tech crammed into it and less K's on the clock. 4L vs 2.5L. Large curb weight vs medium curb weight. 4 door vs 2 door. Auto vs manual.

At the end of the day, its still a Ford and thats why it loses.

(at least in my opinion)

zoom did a tech article on the xr6t. they took the centre muffler out and gained 17kw, and it was still well under the legal sound rating.

stock for stock i'd say the xr6t would beat a gts-t or gtt skyline. and if you start modding them to a point where you start changing ecu's then the xr6t will hose a gts-t/gtt. just by remapping the stock xr6t ecu they can gain up to 100hp (remember that these cars were detuned to have less power than the v8's. there were a few cars recalled because they had a 300kw tune in the ecu - which is what ford was orginally going to run them at). there is one in town tat has just had exhaust, flash tune and boosted up to about 11psi and it put down 390hp (290kw). there are also guys with reasonably stock typhoons getting high 11's. they just do airbox and exhaust mods.

my sister-in-law's boyfriend has a xr6t. i was sitting at the end of the street in the rain 1 day and he came off the roundabout and up the hill. he didn't floor it but gave it a little bit of gas and the traction control kicked in for a second. that sounds cool. its like having a rev limiter kick in when the exhaust note is at its deepest. was the best sounding limiter type noise i have heard, cause it wasn't screaming, it was nice and throaty.

    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
    • According to Josh, one of our local Americans, it seems the USA still can't get turbo systems quite right at a lot of places, so possible that they're not running great at all, but they've just not complained as NFI about getting it right...
