Was having a good day then notice a hole in our fence at work. Can't find anything missing tho. Can't wait to get these cameras up so we can see who's coming in from home and bust them.

put a 2 guard dogs in there, let them wander around at night

what are peoples thoughts on 2001 BA xr6 turbos?

tips and tricks? what to look out for?

I've heard something to do with the diff bush giving out and gearbox can if iffy.

My dad had a BA and BF and both of them the interiors fell to bits, silver trimmings shrivled in the heat and the electrics gave out on the BA and the gear stick snapped off the BF.

They where both under 10,000km when it happend.

Nice cars otherwise :laugh:

Just spoke to dad and he also said he had PCM and bcm failures and the front brake lines needed replacing due to some dodgyness.

Adrian feel free to drop by my place over the weekend and have a gander at my old mans 03 XR6T. He loves to talk about it and I myself can give you some valuable info regarding servicing, maintenance and clever mod strategy.

Standard brake rotors have been known to warp as young as 20000km's old, the power windows give up after a while, there were re-calls for a water pump issue in some cars (an o-ring) and also standard issue tyres were also replaced free of charge when there was a deterioration issue discovered.

Be aware of transmission related stuff (the early auto's are crap basically) and I do know a bloke that had his diff replaced for no reason. Dodgy trans service.

Among all things, Ford simply cannot be trusted to tint windows.. At all.

Personally I would steer clear of an 01 BA, AU falcons are marginally cheaper pretty much the same car/level of shitness.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
