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.

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 like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
