- Knight Rider (tv coming out this year on NBC, me cant wait)

- Bullitt (new movie is set to be released this year, prob a remake on the old? )

It's a real pitty we can't buy this car here, especially when $AUS dollar is on par with $US :yes:

yea I will admit, for an american piece of junk, It looks pretty cool.

their is a bloke in the S.E suburbs of melb, near the Ferntreegully area who has one of the Silver ones the GT500 one. if i remeber correctly.

What i don't seem to understand is, a base model GT Premium costs $27k in US (say AUS $30k) brand new.. that is considered to have a relatively farken bargain price tag here in Oz.

By the time we one ships down to Aus, it's triple the price? Had a look at mustangmotorsport.com.au (a company who imports mustangs) and the median figure is at $80k for a second hand car, WTF?

RHD conversions arent uber cheap... you could import one yourself and do the conversion yourself if you wanted to to save on cash... then you have the luxury car tax, import duty etc etc it soon ads up.

Yeah not bad, suprisingly it still looks or keeps the hard lines of the older model.

Talking to some ppl in the USA this is just another Mustang riced up and they drop their superchargers in and say it faster than the Nissan GTR R35. HA! ok, ok wateva... Also the knightrider mustang = rice, how many spoiler / vents do you want?

Plus by the time I spend the money on converting it I could get something else better IMO.

bullitt 2008 is just a limited make of the car not another movie

ie slap a badge on woo

Fool. :yes:

Brad Pitt's Bullitt

Brad Pitt will star in a remake of 60s classic movie 'Bullitt'.

The 'Ocean's Thirteen' actor will take the role of Lt Frank Bullitt made famous by Hollywood legend Steve McQueen in the 1968 original film.

A source said: "Brad shares a lot of the same passions as Steve McQueen - including a love of motorbikes and fast cars - so it was a dream role for him."

The original film sees the tough detective hunting a hitman who has killed his fellow officers. The movie is renowned for featuring one of the best car chases in cinema history as McQueen's Mustang car speeds through the rollercoaster streets of San Francisco.

Brad, 43, has been linked with the role since 2003 but the project has only now been given the green light as film bosses desperately try to kick-start as many movies as possible before the Screen Actors Guild begin their anticipated strike action.

Brad can next be seen playing legendary outlaw Jesse James in the western 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford', due out in October.

The base model Mustangs have a 4.6 OHC v8, however, the upper specs (GT500, Saleen, Shelby etc..) have the 4.6, 5.0 or 5.4 DOHC supercharged pumping out 403kw or more, so it is possible.

" 403kw 5.4L Supercharged V8 engine, 6-speed manual transmission, Ford Racing performance exhaust, Performance suspension tuning, Carbon composite Shelby bonnet, 40th Anniversay badging & much more. "

if Bullitt doesnt have a new shape Charger in it, or seeing as the new model chargers are gayer then a gay man eating another gay mans arse, a Viper, then its a waste of time

:laughing-smiley-014: A bit too harsh don't you think?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
