What a little darling! (yes 5'6" is little)

In deciding what car to lease through her work she said "It's only $40 a week more for the XR6Turbo over the taxi-pak Falcon... why wouldn't you?"

Damn I'm glad I married that girl!

Bring on that new-car smell.... oh, and 240kw of course.

I have a grin on my face that you couldn't remove with a brick ;)

4 litre 6 cylinder with a gt40 strapped on the side is nuts. mark 1 or 2? the 6 speed is very nice and runs awesome. stacks ot torque. its peak power its from 2000 to 4500rpm and makes more torque than the beefed up v8s

yeah niizpro did a made stage 3 or stage 4 kit that was like 800 odd kw at the flywheel. to crack some serious power i think all you need is to change the compressor housing as its a restricitive one to kinda hold back the turbo a little. you dont need internals or turbo change at all for good top power. changing it to a gt3540 would be silly. one awesome package i must say. go the aussies, nothing beats displacement. they did the rb30 turbo and the japs wanted it, and now theyve done the 4 litre turbo ;)

Now once the car has 3,000+km on it go to your local XR6 Turbo tuning house and ask for one custom tuned edit box.

$1,600 later you will have a handheld box that can upload 250rwkw in 2 mins on a completly stock car.

I hope you get a good one, make sure you inspect it with a microscope and also test drive it before you accept delivery as the quality varies.

Was reading over the XR6 Turbo forum's and i think it's Rajab Racing Development's or HPF or it may have been a combined effort.

Anyhow they have just takin the title of fastest XR6 Turbo in the land with a 10.5 @ 131.5mph on the car's first ever meeting at the strip on street radials.

Didnt take them long.

Get the muffler removed ,the one under the rear seat,you'lll feel the difference 20 kw i reckon .......$40 at an exhaust shop.Apparently ford put it in to curb it's power so it didn't have more power than the BOSS 5.4l. Also sounds beefier with muffler thing removed

haha wait till you hear about what they did to the territory. a 2.2 ton car running 11.7

This was in 100% STREET DRIVEN TRIM road Tyre's pulp full exhaust including CAT the lot and as expected its 60 foot times were very good with a best of 1.72 sec

Vehicle has the following attributes:

- standard Stage 2 Cobra Kit coupled with an auto upgrade in the same fashion as the BA Falcons

- Garrett GT series turbocharger similar to the standard BA turbo with a slightly different turbine end.

- low compression pistons used are high silicon content cast alloy

- The radiator is a high capacity alloy unit that is twice as thick in core size to the standard Territory unit

- Conrods are the same as Cobra Stage 3 engine and are custom billet machined to Nizpro specs.

- fully blue printed and balanced engine

- transmission cooler

- twin stainless steel exhaust system with 100mm stainless steel turbo dump pipe and high flow 100mm catalytic converter

- 20 inch chrome alloy wheels with 275/40/20 Michelin tyres

- lowered the suspension 30mm.

- GT-T stripes with Turbo badges

this is all taken off the xr6turbo forums.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
