You can get an FG xr6t for similar price to the holden, ive never driven the FG but they reckon the smaller turbo on the FG makes them super responsive and factory or light mods BF vs FG xr6t the FG i

Fek, that is one hot car.

The FG's are near to perfection in my book. Just the right amount of aggression and class. HSVs are too boofy for my liking and the BAs can be a bit underdone.

So, so hot. Awesome colour, too.

Grats :yes:

i agree for the sedans but not for the utes. i don't like the FG utes anywhere near as much as with the holdens or the BA/BF utes.

I sort of agree but I guess I personally forgive Ford for a slight aesthetic problem with the utes as it's done from a "Function over Form" perspective. I like cars to work properly as well as look good. Unfortunately the bland rear end and the big gap between the cabin and tray is a necessary evil.

Tho have you seen an FG with an alloy flat try? Very, very tough.

Not a fan of the colour (or wheels), but I love the concept of the following:

yeah the trayback falcon utes in the BA were tough. haven't seen an FG though (that pic looks like it's a BA/BF)

Haven't seen one either, It would be so hard to drive in the wet... no weight at all. fcking scary...

Sorry to bump an old thread, just wondering how you're finding the F6 Ute after a few years?

Need a ute for work and narrowed it down to either a E3 Maloo R8 or and FG F6 much like yours.

Drove the Maloo yesterday and was impressed with the handling and the noise, but I think I miss boost a little too much!

How do you find the handling with the live rear axle?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
