Stay tuned for Death of an XF Falcon Ute :blink:

Mate is buying the pedal box from my paddock basher ute so the car is going to get one last working over before being sold for scrap. Put up some ideas and i'll try and film it :).

This car is finally going to die after being crashed twice (once by me, once by previous owner, both into tree stumps) had the window smashed in in a bout of rage and was run on no coolant while still being thrashed (made some pretty smells and colourful smoke)

Thats a very decent power figure mate...

If you dont mind me asking, what mods are done, who tuned it and have you got a pic of the dyno graph to post up?

thanks ;)

mods:

-rb25det w/rb25 ecu

-KKR430 turbo

-walbro fuel pump

-SARD fuel pressure regulator

-Apexi SAFC

-Greddy profec B spec2

-FMIC

-HKS mushroom pod

-3.5" HKS exhaust w/highflow cat

-cusco front strut brace

-Apexi lowered fairly stiff springs

-HRracing 18" wheels- 235(front), 256(rear)

i think theres more but my brain isnt working, thats the main stuf anyway.

i couldnt come out on friday night unfortunately, its only on 7am-7pm day permits until i can take it over dickson and atleast get a week permit so hopefully this coming friday ill be able to bring it out :)

boost was at 16psi

EDIT:

I read the graph wrong... Hehehe :P Thanks Shawn.

What are the air fuel ratio's? I hope its nor running to lean... And Im not sure why but you have a BIG mid range power hole there...

Here's a pic of my last run:

Man hit with bat during carjacking - October 29, 2007 07:03am

A MAN has been charged over a carjacking in Sydney's south-west in which the car's owner was hit with a baseball bat and lost several teeth.

Police said the 29-year-old male owner of a Honda Integra advertised for sale accompanied another man on a test drive of the car at Chipping Norton on September 6.

The 18-year-old driver allegedly stopped the car near a parked truck on Barry Road before another man approached the vehicle, opened the front passenger door and hit the owner repeatedly with a baseball bat.

The two men then allegedly dragged the owner out and drove away in his car.

An 18-year-old Fairfield West man was arrested yesterday and charged with aggravated robbery.

He was refused bail and is due to appear in Liverpool Local Court today.

yeah im not sure about that dip either, im thinking about taking it to the next dyno day at autotech and getting petes opinion of how its running. im loving every second of driving it!

Ah RB25 goodness aye? :rolleyes: I'd love to get the car dynoed at Autotech again, finally seem to have the car sorted, would like to see what it's capable of.

Just thought id say, i have officially owned my Skyline for 1 year :) (Old Thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t139140.html) (Oct 17 i bought it but wasnt registered till around this time last year)

Pretty good run i'd say, first car i owned for 9 months, second for...1 week and 1 year on the new skyline with 0 incidents/close calls/dings, crashing a car does wonders, i highly recommend it for all P-Platers :P

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
