*sigh*.... I think I'm going to buy an XR6 Turbo :/ Bang for buck on an FG MkII is just too good to pass up compared to everything else in my criteria.

Post-2010, newer the better
Over 200kw
Under $30k
No Out of Warranty Euros

It's either Commodore or Falcon, and the towing capacity on the falcon wins out. Pity the interior is a bit basic.

With a few small mods it's good for an easy 350kw, let alone 200kw

XR6T has the same interior if you get the leather option (like mine) just make sure you get one with "premium sound" and "colour screen", reverse camera even better (like mine)

Leather, colour screen, premium sound (subwoofer), reverse camera are the options you want. Then the interior won't seem as cheap. 

If you get a 2012 or newer it'll be mark 2 with a touch screen and different headlights + front bar , and they're all colour so slightly better oh and they have bluetooth music streaming, unlike mark 1 which has ipod connection + aux. (still bluetooth for phone CALLS though)

the xr6t engine makes around 250rwkw ish stock anyways, tune it with injectors, new dump + cat, intake and you see some pretty good gains 

oh and yeh, they tow like you've got nothing on the back.. awesome towing cars. #fordsalesrep

I wish.. cup of tea

Nothing like chopping cars with a trailer on the back, dat extra grip. Although scared I'm gonna rip the back of my car off sometimes so don't launch it, just on rolls

Pretty sure the G6E T has the same engine and gearbox, but no LSD and softer suspension?

2300kg is an impressive tow weight, compared to 1600 for most commodores unless you get a wagon and calais

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
