Both cost the same money,

Both are inline6 cylinder turbo's.

Heres some fast facts on the fast Ford:

Price: $43,965

Engine: Inline 6cyl dohc, 24valve turbo

Weight: 1732kg's

0-100km's: 6.0 seconds

0-400m: 14.3 seconds at 162km's/hr

Dont have the stats on the R34..

Consider that the R34 you buy for that money will most likely be a '99 model, and not a new car. Which would you buy, and why?

Which car is better? :)

i would buy R34. The falcon is too big, heavy, common and not as quick to drive (refering to BFYB 03). I don't need/want 4 doors. and even if i did, i'd pay extra and spend a whole lot mroe time, just to find a GT-T in manual. A similar M.Y. chaser is also another car in mind for 4 doors

I thought that would stir the hornets nest a little :)

I think they are quite similar cars, the only difference is the fact that the falcon has four doors. I'm sure in the back the skyline has only a bit less leg room.

It's not as outrageous comparison as say, V8 HSV GTS vs R33 GTST.. (differen class, different ages..)

Ok fine, the Falcon might be faster(?), but why compare the two?

A better comparison would be a JZS161 Aristo and a Falcon XR6T?

Now Now guys.. let's not get too carried away. I love my Nissans just as much as you do.

But if you want a Nissan family car the GTT & GTST are it. If you want a Nissan sports car you get a 200sx. If you want a racing performance machine you get a GTR.

The GTT is a Japanese family car with a turbo 6 engine, just as the XR6T's are.

It seems everyone has a different definition of sports car, and family car.

i think u mean that the 4 door skylines are family cars if that. dont forget skylines hav also been about performance, unlike the commos and falcon who hav had performace forced on them. i agree there are levels of sports cars but not to the point were a skyline is a family car and a 200sx is a sports car. some people would say that porsche and ferrari make REAL sports cars(compared to japs), some would not

R34`s aren`t exactly Taxi`s...:)

Seriously, the Ford weighs nigh on 1800kgs, they just keep getting heavier and heavier, when logic (and our son of rajab Colin Chapman) say otherwise, and Ford and Holden are actually spearheading a totally new class of automobile... the "500kw House"...:(

All good in my book, just I think they (Forb and Holdem) are in a class of their own. Incomparable to anything else but themselves...:uh-huh:

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
