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

    • 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.
    • 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"
