well nizy i reckons it wont be nice if it happen that the only place he finds you is on the rear view mirror, i dont care what it is, but i sure dont like being in his rear view mirror. I did some research after i heard this, and their are alot of independent guys out their that say, the xr6t has been under powered before release, while when ford tested it, they did out puts of upto 800kw. Now that is heaps for a ford

that would be a very exceptional XR6T.

Like VERY exceptional. I think he is probably yanking your chain.

the xr6t is not a particularly easy car to make really fast - because it has such a large displacement. to produce that sort of time, you're looking at 800+ ps, which would require a big turbo and some serious internal work.

the catch is, that because he throw is so long for each cylinder, he'd struggle to find rods that would put up with the sort of hammering that a high outpurt turbo would put an engine under at very high boost.

so, I call b/s on the 10 second XR6T.

Nobel what i dont understand is if your flying the flag for Ford so high .... then get dad to buy you one :P ..... we are really trying to care .... but as this is a Nissans forum we really dont give a phuck.

i know my car aint the fastest on the planet .... but it still kicks enough male butt that im more than happy :) not too mention its a Nissan!

i just dont get some people! What does he want us to do .... "a friend of a friend who knows some guy at the other side of the country may have a 10sec XR6T" ...... so? want us to worship the ground you walk on ..... or sell all our cars for Fords now :P ... you are trying to achieve what??

zanda, well i did take it all with a pinch of salt, so i did my research and here is what i found...

240kW at 5250rpm and 450Nm from 2000-4500rpm

6psi turbo pressure

that is what its set to as the standard, and the compression ratio is 8.7:1. Being a 4 L engine it has alot more potential. I just wonder what ford got out of it before it reached danger zone.

capa http://www.capa.com.au/xr6.htm has already released kits that boost it to 350kw and they are working on a 380kw which they think they can achieve no sweat.

I also heard from a ford guy that the trubo can be set as high as 32psi, but i still got to verify that.

There is alot of work happening on it, heaps of people in the east are trying things out on it.

I am just waiting to see if those numbers are true.

I was just sharing some news i heard, after all this is a car forum, and the filter doesnt seem to be set to pick out holden and ford and Maybe you have missed it all this time.

NO I DONT SUPPORT FORD, to me they just stupidly designed, the fools add weight then they think, oh shit its laggin so more fuel ahh thats better.

I hope that settles your misery nizmo, i suggest you look into something more entertaining if this bores you so much.

Gad daaaaaaaiyum some people

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
