*sigh*.... I think I'm going to buy an XR6 Turbo :/ Bang for buck on an FG MkII is just too good to pass up compared to everything else in my criteria.

Post-2010, newer the better
Over 200kw
Under $30k
No Out of Warranty Euros

It's either Commodore or Falcon, and the towing capacity on the falcon wins out. Pity the interior is a bit basic.

With a few small mods it's good for an easy 350kw, let alone 200kw

XR6T has the same interior if you get the leather option (like mine) just make sure you get one with "premium sound" and "colour screen", reverse camera even better (like mine)

Leather, colour screen, premium sound (subwoofer), reverse camera are the options you want. Then the interior won't seem as cheap. 

If you get a 2012 or newer it'll be mark 2 with a touch screen and different headlights + front bar , and they're all colour so slightly better oh and they have bluetooth music streaming, unlike mark 1 which has ipod connection + aux. (still bluetooth for phone CALLS though)

the xr6t engine makes around 250rwkw ish stock anyways, tune it with injectors, new dump + cat, intake and you see some pretty good gains 

oh and yeh, they tow like you've got nothing on the back.. awesome towing cars. #fordsalesrep

I wish.. cup of tea

Nothing like chopping cars with a trailer on the back, dat extra grip. Although scared I'm gonna rip the back of my car off sometimes so don't launch it, just on rolls

Pretty sure the G6E T has the same engine and gearbox, but no LSD and softer suspension?

2300kg is an impressive tow weight, compared to 1600 for most commodores unless you get a wagon and calais

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
