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

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
