True, its not the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog.

Eheh, well lucky for me I heard this guy is a terrible driver. I had a S6 RX7 that i drove with stupid amounts of boost and managed to get pretty good at keeping it straight. This GTR is heaps easier to drive in comparison.

this thread is so sh!t, who cares who has a faster car, there both different cars and both have the pros and cons. if he wants to say his is quicker let him. there will always be someone quicker then u and him. some close this thread it useless.

Yeah! I agree with this guy

some close this thread it useless!

*hugz interwebz*

the Fg range of falcons seem to be running very good times. Motor mags recording 13.1-13.3sec for the xr6 turbo and GCe6t (cant rememebr the exact name). Private drag times in the high 12s.

Fg F6 seems to have ingear acceleration similar to the C63 AMGs, with 280rwkw stock. Some mag in NZealand recorded a 4.8-4.9 0-100, and a sub 13s 1/4 mile.

Cant say its a better car than the R34 GTR, but its easy to argue it has a far superior engine.

i cant be bothered reading all 60+ replies to this thread, but ive seen one of them so called 300kw commonwhores do 220rwkw on dyno (v8 though)..... less traction and allot heavier, i dont distiguish between commonwhores or falkadores so i recon the 320kw falkadore typhoon would be an epic fail infront of a godzilla on the track, hill climb or drag.

I am a fan of the falkadore forced induction, they are a pretty decent car even though i hate ford and holden with a passion. But a standard or close to standard typhoon vs's a modded godzilla isnt really a contest.

Also any one can read the brochure from the car yard, tell him to put his money where his mouth is....

but beware, if its a 320rwkw typhoon, he will snap you once he finds traction (or if he is gay enough to run with traction controll on lol)

dood, 2 bar of boost, you wanna hope it has been tuned to run that type of boost, even if it is only for 400 metres, could be the slowest time ever if it lets go within the first 60', what turbos and internals has ya 26 got to handle 29psi?

No Idea whats on the inside, its definately a rebuilt motor though. It has nismo turbos, and oil pump with relocation and oil cooler, fuel pump injectors, pfc etc.

yeah...id def run 2bar on those mods...NOT!

Not sure on the suspension but it is as hard as rock. Going to need caps on all of my teeth from pot holes. Rears are 255 Bridgestone Potenza and 235's on front. I am fairly good at launching and shifting, though from past experiences I dont flat shift anymore. Wouldn't call myself anything close to a drag god though. What sucks is the majority of previous threads said I had a probable win, doh!

I spoke to the person I bought the car off on Sat and he said my power reading was only at 1.2 bar and also said for a one off drag that I should boost to 2 bar :blink: . I talked the guy into giving me a run, he said not this week but maybe the next. I was going to put a small wager on it...but now im not so sure haha.

time to change your tyres mate. running different size tyres front to rear will quickly wreck your AWD... they must be the same overall diameter all round.

Damn, thats sucks because they are good BBS ones, they are 17" front and rear, just different widths. I will switch to driving rwd till I replace them then...bummer.

How did you get his rolling diametre from that? or have I missed something.

He might be running 235 45 17's fronts and 255 40 17's rears which are the same rolling diameter...or are you suggesting different widths will also cause damage?

Mmmm...Interesting.

Rear:

255 x 40 R17

Front:

235 x 45 R17

235/45 = 106mm sidewall. 255/40 = 102mm = not the same diameter.

it's not much different but given that rears in powerful GTRs tend to wear faster too you quite quickly are outside of the (small) tolerance that attessa can cope with. basically your rear wheels will always be turning faster than the fronts which means the car thinks there is rear wheel spin all the time. which is not a good thing.

yes with some thought you can get different width tyres that are the same diameter but it's not worth it for a number of reasons.

1. GTRs need all the front grip they can get. running smaller front tyres is a bad idea and will give you more understeer.

2. running same size all round means you can rotate front to back which will extend the life of your tyre sets.

it's a far better idea to take the pain now and sell up what you have and get back to a set of equal sized wheels and tyres than to live with the problem.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
