It was another ATCC driver with the initials CMcC. He's driven quiet a few Porsches and took the GTP championship and Porsche Supercup back in 1994/95 in a Porka...

He contributes to magazine, whose editor drove an XR6 in Targa Tassie.

Woo hoo! Tied that one together as well! LOL

Now we shall let it rest...

i am a huge fan of the xr6t, i love the shape, the beastie look, the power and the leather seats ect its great

i also love the r34's but i'd have to go for the xr6 over the r34, its better for every day driving, newer, easyer on insurance, cheaper to fix ect

but thats just me

Just because 1 amg beat 1 porsche around 1 track on 1 day of the year dont mean you can say an amg will beat a 996 turbo around a track.

I wouldnt mind the F1 AMG pace car tho.

I been driving around a BA XT Falcon for the last few months (hire car for work) and its quite a nice ride but feels very big/heavy and unstable at high speeds. I know the XR6 has a total different suspension setup but its based on the XT chassis and it aint all that good.

The whole IRS/wheel package/steering set-up is different. It's a totally different feel. I've had a steer in an XT on a skid pan with the base handling, tyres, steering, no lsd and traction control switched off. Yee haar. The XT is sooo different to the XR which is a different feel to the R34 again.

As for Porka vs Merc. It'd be down to the drivers on the other 364 days of the year. But the Merc's quicker off the mark (750Nm does that!). The Ford was absent at this battle, although we DID pass an ED XR6 on the way to the track...

gee guys, I think the HUGE point we are all overlooking here is the fact the a MAJOR manufacturing company is now producing a turbo car for the masses. this has to eventually lead to lower insurance and a more welcoming joe public.

As for the BA, I give ford full credit for having the bollocks to do it - it's not a bad car, got to give credit where it's due.

ive been crusin round in a XR6T all weekend ..... go the R34 GTT ..... XR6T nothing special in power at all!

What are you on Prozac or something !

Look both are good cars. the R34 will be in better condition after 10,000Km on the clock than a similar treated Falcon.

If you want a 4 door go the XR6T it's all that.

Coupe wise the R34.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
