Just a short video of some guy driving his Ford XR6T up a hill, sounds similar to a skyline in my opinion but maybe its just that BOV hehe.

They are using the same engine setup so its not far off I guess.

doesnt move... 288 KW AND ALL U HEAR IS A "CHURP" what is this shit? a freaking 180kw r33? lol

I was thinking the same thing...

But then I remembered that the thing weighs 1700kg...

Taking the weight into account, that thing would be about 230kw odd (at 1400kg)...

not really, a mate of mine has a 280+kw xr6t auto, and that thing is a wild bull on the road

iv also driven a 280+ kw xr6t and was a bit scary to drive considering all the torque and losing traction at over 130km/h

that there would be TOPS 230 240kw at the wheels.

but like i said, it doesnt move

hmm maybe im wroung with the psi but its deff 330, bigger injectors,fuel pump, external gate, valve springs 4inch exhaust and a tune. 330 rwkw. oh and upgraded clutch. just did its first diff and drive shaft. snapped both lol. thing mooves >_<

im a mechanic at ford, their diffs and driveshafts are crap as... but yeah his psi would haveto be over 15psi.. they do move once tuned dont get me wrong

The BA XR6T is going to be exactly like every other habib spec VL in 5 years time when more P Platers can afford to

buy them..

You will begin to see them with drop tanks, venecian blinds & car bra's..

20's bro 20's..

Yeah, I was assuming obviously that the guy wasnt full of shit about the amount of power the thing has got. you've gotta remember that the in car video makes it appear much slower than it really is too.

my sister-ini-laws boyfriend is running 12psi through his and is getting 223kw on a base tune. that is with stock exhaust though.

a mate is making about 310kw at 15psi on stock turbo, but he has had a rebuild. before he got the 3 speed gearbox put in if he punched it at 120kmh, when it dropped back to 3rd gear the traction control would kick in.

as for the chirping between gears, that also depends on what tyres he is running. if he is running a good set of 265s on the rear then they are going to be a bit harder to spin than a crappy set of 235s.

I'm guessing you meant "flaws"?

Yeah they are a nice car.. I'm gonna buy one when I finally grow up and need a family car. Until then though, they're still a tad too heavy for my liking.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
