I dont think the front bar blends well with the lines of the car.

Cant tell if its just that photo of it, but seems to lack any fine detail on the front bar?

What kind of fine details would you like to see?

It's an aero package for racing, looks smooth and slick.. as it should.

I'm sure they'll have some bling on the road car.

Based on the 290kW, 520Nm 5.4-litre Boss 290 V8-powered Ford XR8 road-going sedan, the new FG-01 will be displayed on pit lane throughout the race and then take to the track for the assembled fans to witness its maiden run

Hahaha Thats a laugh...yeah the body shell was made in the same factory and it has 4 wheels...thats the only thing they have in common

I think they meant thats what it's styled to be like, the color, bonnet, headlights ect...it's meant to look like a race going xr8 (good marketing)

As oppossed to being built from an xr8.

But hey I could be completely off track :cheers:

I think its just a Typical motoring journo having NFI what there talking about. bit like Ch10 claiming that the V8s had 750hp and that the LS1 in the Brute series was a 350 Chev.

IMO its should have read "Based on the FG falcon" with out mentioning the Donk because it makes it sound like the V8SC is running the 32V 5.4 and not a 302 Windsor.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
