It was another ATCC driver with the initials CMcC. He's driven quiet a few Porsches and took the GTP championship and Porsche Supercup back in 1994/95 in a Porka...

He contributes to magazine, whose editor drove an XR6 in Targa Tassie.

Woo hoo! Tied that one together as well! LOL

Now we shall let it rest...

i am a huge fan of the xr6t, i love the shape, the beastie look, the power and the leather seats ect its great

i also love the r34's but i'd have to go for the xr6 over the r34, its better for every day driving, newer, easyer on insurance, cheaper to fix ect

but thats just me

Just because 1 amg beat 1 porsche around 1 track on 1 day of the year dont mean you can say an amg will beat a 996 turbo around a track.

I wouldnt mind the F1 AMG pace car tho.

I been driving around a BA XT Falcon for the last few months (hire car for work) and its quite a nice ride but feels very big/heavy and unstable at high speeds. I know the XR6 has a total different suspension setup but its based on the XT chassis and it aint all that good.

The whole IRS/wheel package/steering set-up is different. It's a totally different feel. I've had a steer in an XT on a skid pan with the base handling, tyres, steering, no lsd and traction control switched off. Yee haar. The XT is sooo different to the XR which is a different feel to the R34 again.

As for Porka vs Merc. It'd be down to the drivers on the other 364 days of the year. But the Merc's quicker off the mark (750Nm does that!). The Ford was absent at this battle, although we DID pass an ED XR6 on the way to the track...

gee guys, I think the HUGE point we are all overlooking here is the fact the a MAJOR manufacturing company is now producing a turbo car for the masses. this has to eventually lead to lower insurance and a more welcoming joe public.

As for the BA, I give ford full credit for having the bollocks to do it - it's not a bad car, got to give credit where it's due.

ive been crusin round in a XR6T all weekend ..... go the R34 GTT ..... XR6T nothing special in power at all!

What are you on Prozac or something !

Look both are good cars. the R34 will be in better condition after 10,000Km on the clock than a similar treated Falcon.

If you want a 4 door go the XR6T it's all that.

Coupe wise the R34.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
