GTR R35 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Guys, I know some of you were hoping to see me get a Stagea 260RS, but at the end of the day it was going to be too hard. I ordered today a new XR6 Turbo.:flamed: I expect delivery mid to end April. Due to insurance problems (no one had ever heard of one) and my finance company not interested, I have decided that I would get my second choice. I hope you all understand, but I would still like to join the club as I think this falcoon wil drift nicely:wassup: I hope you all understand Mal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34257-sorry-guys-i-bought-a-xr6t/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRgeoff Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 It would be my choice if the seats were a little more sporty and less upright/armchair in character. The manual box may be suspect but they are seriously potent.

red900ss Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 If I was doing a lease deal I'd probably be in one of those too Mal. At least it's a straight 6.

Sumo Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 LoL, i was only today reading the amounts of trouble they are having with their XR6T's on the ford forums Most people were concerned with the paint imperfections. one blokes door only had primer on it - took it back to the dealer to get them to pay for it to be painted. The rest of the probs were only clunky diffs and stuff Sumo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34257-sorry-guys-i-bought-a-xr6t/#findComment-686896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0p3y Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Nice choice!! I can confirm that the c&v XR6T ran 10.9 yesterday. Could've gone quicker but they were ordered to back off or get kicked out. Best part of all, it was only an APS stage 2 kit (afaik) and the engine bay etc looked STOCK! There's no way a cop could defect you for it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34257-sorry-guys-i-bought-a-xr6t/#findComment-686989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benm Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Kicked out? Why ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34257-sorry-guys-i-bought-a-xr6t/#findComment-686996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merli Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Ryan, It's an APS Phase 3 kit, without the APS top intake piping (for the more stock look, although the APS replacement part looks nearly dead stock too) APS is actually working on a Phase 4 kit So just to be clear, it's a stock XR6-Turbo with APS Phase 3 Kit and "modified" auto box.

Merli Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Kicked out? Why ? The black Commodore was Con's daily driver and as such didn't have rollcage or meet any of the ANDRA safety requirements. Neither did the XR6T.

2fardown Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 You'd be surprised at how many *new* cars that have had paint touch ups at dealers. Car carriers aren't the most carefull of people. As for the diff problem, yes my dad had his replaced but we didn't even notice the problem...the service tech did.

Thanks for clearing that up Andrew I didn't know much about it, just what I'd heard. And benm, to further explain what Merli mentioned -- Cars that run below 10.99 seconds must meet ANDRA saftey requirements including a roll cage, etc etc. Both cars were full street cars with no rollcage and so forth, thus, they were told to back off and run slower than 10.99 seconds or they would no longer be allowed to race.

AutoTrust Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 You big POOF!!! Just kidding, at least one aussie car company has caught up with ten yo japaneese cars! Massive potential from the standard 4 litre engine and big turbo! Be sure to rice it up with jap parts! Mind you the SUSpension will need some tweaking to even think about dorifto!

GTR R35 Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 Thanks for the positive comments guys. I must say that the XR6T was my second choice, but I think I will still be very happy with it. The only modding I am planning on doing is adjustable anti roll bars so I can get the drifto easier, I may also run a bleed valve for track days. I have been told that if I touch anything except for cosmetics I will void the warranty. The car has enough power for the daily driver I will mainly be using it for. I want to get into Aussie Legends for my racing fix :-) When is the Next pizza night ?

HSVKLR Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Top choice 4DoorGTR, im envious to the back teeth!! Please post pics upon delivery!! I know a bit about the XR6T and a bit about 2JZ engines (both large capacity straight sixes). After side-stepping the tough-to-crack black-box in Falcon is there as much modding potential for the Falcon as there is for the 2JZ? From memory the quickest Supra in the country hasnt dipped into the 10s yet, and yet the XR6T has. Correct me if im wrong.... The attachment is what my XR6T would look like Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34257-sorry-guys-i-bought-a-xr6t/#findComment-687489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 HSVKLR - Im pretty sure a Subzero prepared Supra has already hit the 10's some time ago Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/34257-sorry-guys-i-bought-a-xr6t/#findComment-687496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hey mal.. Well its no nissan, but still a top choice. I must admit if I was not a strict nissan guy I would look into the XR6 Turbo.. Its a damm tidy car. I look forward to seeing the thing sideways sometime soon!
