imagine having the first AU fronted Ferrari in America. i think instagram would collapse with all the likes.

Ford AU Falcon front-end conversions

That's awesome but must be on LPG and being a wagon would add to it's glory. Just imagine the roofline extending to the top of that spoiler and then a massive wing above that.

Wash your mouth out, that F40 rear end is ruining the gorgeous AU lines.

Point shouldn't need to be made that the engineering in an AU is massively better than that in an F40, but there it is.  So too the build quality.  Still, pointing out the obvious may help someone out.

its pretty obvious, the paint on the F40 was so thin that you could see the carbon fibre weave.... They didnt even paint the car properly.

On top of that instead of making the car out of good strong steel, they used fibre cloth and glue..... who does that?

And to access the engine, you dont just pull a lever and it opens like a well engineered AU, you need to unlock two latches, get a mate to help you lift it and then use a flimsy rod to keep it open, no gas struts!

Then they were so lazy developing the engine that it needs a service every 5000kms! and its only a 2.9l not a nice 4l straight six or a  5l windsor V8...  its so small and inferior!

 I have no idea why the F40 costs so much when an AU is obviously the superior machine

Well in an even further apart comparison, there is an AU conversion available for Stageas too

The drag coefficient would be heaps better now that it doesn’t have a boxy front end

more seriously though, if anyone can explain to me why one of these cars is the ugliest car ever designed, and the other is a 6 figure uber desirable one, I'd love to hear it.

Snobbery.

By the way they made more AU's than any other model.

are AU's in the 6 figures now? this damn covid tax, its gonna be cheaper to buy an R34 than an AU soon!

As for the AU, I see your AU and raise my VX

Australian and American build quality, engineering and design at its, ummmm, best?

Mexican build quality!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
