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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
