Throwing this up in here in the hope of getting this done close to home.

For sale: 1997 EL Falcon XR6

*Body-352000km

*Engine replace and diff reco about 120000km ago

The good:

*4 brand new tyres

*New radiator, fuel filter and front rotors

*aftermarket exhaust

*Made roadworthy a couple of weeks ago, thinking that the certificate may expire before the transfer is completed, but in any case shouldn't be hard to get another one.

The bad:

*Small piece of surface rust on the roof(about the size of a 50c piece). Can be fixed with touch up paint.

*Tyres rub on the arm. I have been told that this may be able to be corrected with a wheel alignment and it is not a big deal.

*slight fluid leak from the diff

*came with a little front end cosmetic and headlight damage. I have repaired a majority of this inc a replacement set of LHS headlights

Should be able to get more pictures up later this week.

Bought this about a month ago as a replacement for my MR30 skyline, but after driving my MR30 on the weekend have actually decided I like the skyline better, and would prefer to upgrade to another R30/R31 instead.

Keen for swaps with an R30/R31 manual with low k's with cash adjustment but let me know what you have!

Other than that, if you want to buy it outright I am chasing around 4K neg.

got bored and decided record the new exhaust note

new exhaust

i'll stop whoring now. actually can you please send pics to me, the falcon should be able to tow a car yeah?

  • 2 weeks later...

Still got MT4 and R30. Will get to it when I get some time and money(soon hopefully :( ). Is it true you now have a DR30?

And the falcon's diff is now fixed! It didn't actually need to be rebuilt, it just needed some sealant on the thread to stop it leaking out the thread/spline after the seal had been replaced.

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
