You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

It's a good car but unfortunately FPV don't come near HSV in sales, who import their engines from overseas.. now that Ford Australia have developed an AWESOME engine they should sell the f**ker overseas!!! Actually make that 2 awesome engines, the 4.0l turbo and the new 5.0 supercharged.. they'd sell like hotcakes

yeah both holden and ford really need to start exporting. How can you compete against audi, bmw, merc when they release the same car worldwide. Payback on investment much better on a global car. We only have australian investment funding engine & shell for Ford

Bloody sell the new 5.0l as a crate engine and every man and there dog will buy one for their BA-BF falcons as well and you can legally engine swap for the better engine (less emission + same car)

Not to mention they'd throw the 5.0 "Miami" in a Mustang for sure as an upgrade to the 5.0 N/A "Coyote" Mustang GT

You're right they need to sell the shit worldwide, I mean they have good products really.

They are too expensive; we're lucky to have the few exports we already have (UK, Middle East & USA). Considering our minimum wage and population of only 20 million...which is a miniscule local market compared to what BMW/Audi/Toyota/everyothermanufacturerintheworld has...our local brands don't do too badly on the world scene or to even survive locally (at least up until now). We're even making world class vehicles now, where the quality and value gap between international vehicles of similar price has closed right up - compare trimmings of Caprice to the price equivalent BMW/Audi for example. But we can never make cheap, competitive world stage cars because we don't have the cheap labour/materials or market demand to support it. The Clubsport is exported to the UK and sold as a VX-R8 with an RRP of 50,000 pounds...the car is nothing to sneeze at, but 50,000 pounds buys you a lot of BMW/Benz over in the UK. The only reason it even sells over there is because the UK has nothing else like it; a raw/brutish V8 saloon. The rego and insurance must be awful (rego takes into account engine displacement).

My prediction: Cheap shit Chinese cars will take over the world. May not be today, may not be tomorrow...but some day...

How long are you willing to wait? I got an awesome deal through RMS Motor Parts - http://www.rmsmotorparts.com.au/ - many moons ago. You have to wait for them to come from Japan though (no overnight parts yo)

i called up rms before i ended up buying through good ol jacky chan and their number said disconnected? so im not sure if rms is no longer?

sad to hear Ford cutting jobs today :(

Local manufacturing aint getting any stronger in this country...

unfortunately the unions are to blame here... they pushed too hard and it's just not economically viable to manufacture cars where emplpoyees get 750 x 15 min and 7 x 1 hour breaks per 6 hour day

hmm miami crate motor in a mustang....interesting idea...

would snap mine in half tho

just make sure the windows are in it an she'll be right ;)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
