Ford certainly did the falcon a big favour bringing out the turbo model.

caugh caugh 2 forced induction falcons at the top (gt 335)( f6310) how else would u want it :cheers: supercharged 5.0 all alloy beaudiful less than 3k in mods are netting close to 90rwkw gains and bulk torque and to think these will be worth sub 40k in a short few years 12 sec 1/4ers are nice STOCK

pinch.gif ill save it for another forum dont want to fill this place with holden /ford banter :whistling:

ok fark it ill do it

and this was way back when

Hey can't argue with the old GT's - play that card and it's always going to be a winner in your Ford and Holden debates.

I was more so implying the 6T is an absolute winner for the falcon in a sense of that 20 odd year gap between the time of those said GTs models you hint about above, and early 2000's... The falcon wasn't exactly too much of an appealing model to performance enthusiasts (...V8 supercar fans aside!).

And I don't know much about the very latest models, but weren't the top of the line 6T's (f6/typhoon etc) quicker than the V8s?

Jet that was done on a Disney Dyno and for some reason (Fords moreso than Skylines) tend to read a shit load of power more on D & D's for some reason....Skylines also read a little more but not as much.

As for the Blown GT 335, when it goes down to $35K, I'm getting one!!

Correct.....and still are

i reckn i nearly got the d/d debate sorted pete yes there terriable with accurate numbers moreso with the ford , i reckn and this is just me, the older 2wd d/d's that have had some years of work blow out with big torque cars that come on earlie , but the 4wd d/d's seems to hold a decent life span acuracy wise ............................any mainlie seems to be a winner regardless of age. ive just been having a look at what alot of ppl are saying across many forums and it does seem to be a common theme n/a cars seem to have the least problems on any dyno. but ill do my head in trying to work it out :teehee: yeh the new gt has a fairly consistant 300rwkw stock on any dyno still great numbers and 114mph is the biscuit right there ......................."Dyno figures make for good conversation, mph at the strip proves it without reservation" ............:cheers:

yeh the b series turbo single handedly saved ford aust no doubt

i was being serious lol if the b series never came out i really doubt we would have a need for ford aust

skyline humm driven heaps every other mate has one but no never owned one looked very seriously at a R34 GTR b4 buying the f6 but just to small cabin wise and for some reason every GTR owner is broke haha, i can see something comming up soon hence the stalking on here just checking some bits out

Ahh nice! Well you obviously love power judging by your sigs; if you do end up landing one I doubt it would be tame machine...

OT wise, much respect for the 6T though. My brother in law had one, and that's the only car that scared the living shit out of me! Insane power

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
