Ok cool. Thanks guys, will try and also report.

Yes, but HOWEVER as you mentioned in the earlier posts, weight is a big issue AS WELL AS gear ratios. I doubt a small car ratio is enough to transform these Fords and Holdens into drag machines considering they weigh roughly 1700kg tare.

A VN commodore or EA Falcon would both come at or under 1400kg and both have 120-130kw probably 130-140kw with exhaust and a CAI. So gearing them up as drag machines would work well for the 0-100 sprint. As far as them being good quarter mile warriors, I dont think so, with those sorts of gear ratios one would imagine they would be topping out quite early.

as was said by franga, the brand new ones may weight that much but not the older ones, but the newer ones are also a lot more powerful than the old ones. a bit of work done to a BA xr6 (non turbo) will get it to run low 14's or high 13's.

the older falcons and commodores were down as low as about 1300kg, which is about the same weight as a skyline

well before i bought my R33 i had a 96 EF falcon with all the bolt-ons, mild cam and manual, and rolling start it was line ball to my stock R33 turbo. It had the power to do a mid 14, so without turbo no chance.

Yeah but this is bone stock (with downgrade of hot air intake). problems seem to only persist when cold, it used to be when warm as well. Keeps stuttering and power is on and off throughout the rev range. Idle keeps dropping up and down when cold.

Other than that crap, car is feeling pretty good for now. Still just a bit weak. Does anybody know if the part numbers of the fuel pump are different for the R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS25 S2? Thanks.

      Can't see that being a thing.

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?

      NC MX5

      It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.

      @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!

      Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
