FPV's gunning for the senator, its going to release a new performance luxury model with the release of the BF Mark II.

As far as I know its based on the Fairmont , It will have either the F6 4L or the Boss V8. I haven't seen any pics yet but its going to have a subtle body kit ie no rear spoiler

From what i heard they will be out around the end of OCT.

all BF's will get a face change to look more agressive except the XR's which won't change at all. The Fairmont Ghia looks the best out of all the models (even better than the XR's now)

I work for a Large dealership that has a FORD, CHRYSLER / DODGE / JEEP and HYUNDAI franchise. I was asked today if i had told anyone as ford want to keep it a secret until the launch but oh well its only a job and i'm not that attached to it :D. I'll take some pics on my phone tommorow and put them up here :O

FPV F6 Typhoon

0-100 km/h: 5.35 seconds

Standing 400 m: 13.95 seconds @ 170 km/h

Top Speed: 250 km/h (limited)

That funny cause Ford released the above performance stats-umm dont see a 12 sec anywhere there

The fact that standard they handle like a boat and are no quicker round Qld raceway than a well driven WRX makes me go sleepy nite nite

12.9 with nothing changed but an air filter mate.

12.9 with nothing changed but an air filter mate.

ill 2nd that, a black phoon ute and sedan was at WSID last week when i was there, they said late 12s stock!

Now modded with intake kits, cooler and computer, low 12s easy! those autos hammer too!

Another ford to tempt me ;)

Guys I can assure you that the FPV Typhoon will do a 12.9 stock.

Myself, I did 7 passes and all were in the 13.2-4 and I weigh 140kg. Another guy that was there with the same car except he had 19"wheels (mine are 18") ran 3 x 12.9's.

The times have been backed up the following week.

gotta love the one-eyed skyline fans who wont admit the F6 is a good car hehehe.. same goes for every brand i guess..

back on topic, there have been numerous high 12's and low 13sec runs, and i believe there was even a 12.73 run, stock with filter, stock factory dunlops and auto... you must admit that is impressive

wow its a second slower than my 180sx(and 2sec slower than my GTR)

how bout lap times in a stock one....yawn again

:dry:

Is your GTR or 180SX Stock ?

If not, there is NO comparison.

A Worked XR6Turbo ran a 9.98...your GTR...yawn....your 180sx....yawn again :P

Does the auto give a better launch? My mates Typhoon definately isn't 12 sec material. My 34 goes better and would be 13.4 at best.

I do not know many people who can tell 1/2 a seconds difference by seat of the pants driving. The Auto makes a huge difference in launching, as manuals just seem to spin the rears or clutch.

The Typhoon is deceptivly quick as the 6 speed auto pulls harder than a 14yo boy.

We are not saying that a Typhoon is better than a Skyline, just informing you of the facts about their real world performance.

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
