last thursday saw a white 33 with a nice kit driving around the regency park/south road area, saw it again a couple hours later turnin onto grand junction rd, then i reckon it was the same one again that i saw turning out of a side road on the road that leads past edinburgh airforce base. looked sweet anyway.

then saw a nice dark blue 33 at semaphore traffic lights on tuesday.

I think i saw Deluxe driving down South Rd at St Marys this morning also saw HR32 driving down there the other week. I see alot of skylines driving past work ( adrian brien ford )

Yeh that was me......on my way down to tint a car to get my bubbles sorted on the rear window.........if anyone noticed :lol:

Whiplash: can i have a test drive of the XR6T and typhoon? :P:O

Ha, why bother they feel very heavy when you drive them 1800kg's they also loose a fair bit of power to the rear wheels. I reckon that the R33 GTST has better acceloration and handles a hell of a lot better. will be interesting when the turbo focus come out 165kw. i also see alot of skylines on flagstaff hill and happy valley drive. I also spend a lot of time at marion for work, getting cars registered so i see alot down there as well.

Meh - lightweight compared to the Stagea. Well, about the same.

There are ways to get more power...... :lol:

LOL

I wouldn't want to do too much to one of the turbo falcons had one in the workshop for 8 months with a broken head from the piston detonating all because the owner tried to modify the engine all he had done was add a uni chip and BANG!!!!!!!!

Give me a RB any day.

Can't wait to see the new Stagea

Modified properly they are quite a nice piece of kit.

Munro's XR6T runs 11s.

Hey that just my personal experience with them, i was a huge ford entusiast when i started working there but after working with them i wouldn't buy one. I deal with all new fords that arrive and have to sort out some warranty stuff.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
