Godzilla all the way, a mate of mine had an R32, N1's with N1 cams, fuel pump with abit of boost, never dynoed but my estimate was 270-280kw (only estimate, could have been less but fk went hard) with four blokes in the car smashed an F6, it had nothing and with windows down he was into it. but to my broken heart, 2 weeks later both turbos gone and after 3k for new ones engine presurised and sold it for 7.5k

oh the memories

Geez...bummer. I hope to go to the strip tonight, gotta get a helmet.

Lol looks like the F6 wins in the longrun without the fkd motor.

Hey mate for the record i think with a good launch you should be able to beat the Typhoon. I have a mate with the John Bowe mods and believe me they are only the very basic upgrades. 320 rwkw...? No chance in hell! 320kw at the Crankshaft.To build one to 320rwkw and still retain factory warranty would be a bit of a laugh.Nothing against the Typhoon as they are a great car capable of great power. But so too is a GTR if properly modded

Well guys, the long anticipated result is in. Unfortunately the desired place for the proving ground was not WSID, instead it was on private property in a place I will keep anonymous. But the result is…drum roll….Nissan R32 GTR by many car lengths. All arguments are now put to rest…almost. He decided to pull the whole ‘yeah, but your car is modded, if mine were modded…blah blah’. Didn’t matter, I am content. I am still going to go to WSID because I was looking forward to getting a timeslip.

Thanks for everybody’s support and helpful information that gave me the confidence to face this challenge.

No time slips = no result

Yeah well, like I said, im still getting a time slip for myself. The challenge was whether my car will beat his car, and it did. So how was there not a result there?

And either this guy is a bad driver or Typhoon's arent what they hype them up to be (stock). I think one of those R8's would be quicker.

P.S THe JB gear is counted as a joke around the Ford Turbo sites.

Amen.....

The "John Bowe Performance" series of mods were a huge joke in the Ford community.

They were over priced mods that did nothing for the cosmetic appearance of a Falcon, let alone the power out-put.

Funny thing is dealers thought they'd be a hit and bought up big, making the manufacturers a shiteload.... I know I'm going to have a whole heap to sell off cheap soon :banana:

If were going to continue this discussion we may as well include the "Craig Lowndes Signature", or "Ripcurl" utes as well.... :D

A friend of a friend firmly beleives that his stock F6 Typhoon John Bowe edt. can go faster than my modded R32 GTR.

:P

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
