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.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
