Guys,

I know some of you were hoping to see me get a Stagea 260RS, but at the end of the day it was going to be too hard. I ordered today a new XR6 Turbo.:flamed:

I expect delivery mid to end April.

Due to insurance problems (no one had ever heard of one) and my finance company not interested, I have decided that I would get my second choice.

I hope you all understand, but I would still like to join the club as I think this falcoon wil drift nicely:wassup:

I hope you all understand

why be sorry? :cheers: nice choice...

i heard c&v's xr6t pulled a 10.9s with a APS phase 3 kit and slicks at drag combat today?

LoL, i was only today reading the amounts of trouble they are having with their XR6T's on the ford forums :) Most people were concerned with the paint imperfections. one blokes door only had primer on it - took it back to the dealer to get them to pay for it to be painted. The rest of the probs were only clunky diffs and stuff

Nice choice!! I can confirm that the c&v XR6T ran 10.9 yesterday. Could've gone quicker but they were ordered to back off or get kicked out. Best part of all, it was only an APS stage 2 kit (afaik) and the engine bay etc looked STOCK! There's no way a cop could defect you for it.

Ryan, It's an APS Phase 3 kit, without the APS top intake piping (for the more stock look, although the APS replacement part looks nearly dead stock too)

APS is actually working on a Phase 4 kit eek3.gif

So just to be clear, it's a stock XR6-Turbo with APS Phase 3 Kit and "modified" auto box.

Thanks for clearing that up Andrew :)

I didn't know much about it, just what I'd heard.

And benm, to further explain what Merli mentioned -- Cars that run below 10.99 seconds must meet ANDRA saftey requirements including a roll cage, etc etc. Both cars were full street cars with no rollcage and so forth, thus, they were told to back off and run slower than 10.99 seconds or they would no longer be allowed to race.

You big POOF!!!

Just kidding, at least one aussie car company has caught up with ten yo japaneese cars!

Massive potential from the standard 4 litre engine and big turbo!

Be sure to rice it up with jap parts!

Mind you the SUSpension will need some tweaking to even think about dorifto!

Dig the ricey blue instruments!

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I must say that the XR6T was my second choice, but I think I will still be very happy with it.

The only modding I am planning on doing is adjustable anti roll bars so I can get the drifto easier, I may also run a bleed valve for track days. I have been told that if I touch anything except for cosmetics I will void the warranty. The car has enough power for the daily driver I will mainly be using it for. I want to get into Aussie Legends for my racing fix :-)

When is the Next pizza night ?

Top choice 4DoorGTR, im envious to the back teeth!! Please post pics upon delivery!!

I know a bit about the XR6T and a bit about 2JZ engines (both large capacity straight sixes). After side-stepping the tough-to-crack black-box in Falcon is there as much modding potential for the Falcon as there is for the 2JZ?

From memory the quickest Supra in the country hasnt dipped into the 10s yet, and yet the XR6T has. Correct me if im wrong....

The attachment is what my XR6T would look like

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
