Hi All, hoping to pick pick your brain. Bought some brembo 4 pot rears brand new off EBay, part number 20.A378.21, they have the same part number as others for sale on there and said they were to suit an FG FPV etc, went to put them on my G6E with some DBA rotors (DBA42108S) and the back of the rotor is binding slightly on the caliper when the calliper is tightened up. I’ve previously fitted up brembo 6 pots to the front without any issues. I have aftermarket wheels with enough clearance for brembos. Wouldn’t have thought the hub setup etc wouldn’t be any different between my car and an FPV or am I wrong? I’ll talk to Racebrakes tomorrow about the rotors to see if they have any different offsets. Would welcome any other thoughts.

Thanks, that information helps alot. I now understand clearly what the dash cluster wires relate to.

Hi, I’ve got some Autometer gauges, there’s a single lot four wires (Red, black, white, orange) to connect to the dash cluster. Which four wires from the dash cluster should I be using? There’s contradictory info online so want to check in with this group. Thanks for your help.

Currently have the motor out of the G6ET for a rebuild, have noticed on the ZF there is slight up and down play where the driveshaft mounts up, can this be adjusted to tighten it up? There’s like a nut around the output shaft. Have noticed a vibration through the drive chain so was thinking this could be contributing to it. Thanks for your help.

There was a intake piping. Zane of Maxx Performance picked it up when retuning it for me. He didn’t do the original tune.

Went to a track day on Saturday and had issues with the front 6 pots overheating and shuddering. The car has near new DBA T3 rotors, in prep for the track day I swapped out the pads for some Pagid RSL1 pads (so a track endurance pad), as per instructions from Racebrakes I gave the rotors a light sand, fitted the new pads, bedded them in as per instructions. I did three hours to the track day, did the the first few laps without pushing too much to help the pads bed in again. After that had some fun, noticed coming down the back straight and braking from around 190/200 the front not quite biting and after a couple more laps the front starting to shudder. Went in to give the car a chance to cool down, second time out and the shudder was just getting worse, looking at the rotors they had heat spots on them from overheating. Wouldn’t say I pushing the brakes any harder than other falcons around me. What’s happening here for the brakes to not bite properly and just overheat? As mentioned they were near new rotors and brand new pads. Thanks

Good to see another NZ G6ET owner, I’ve got a moderately modded one. There’s the FPV/Tickford owners club which allow G6ET owners too. They’re very active with cruises around the Waikato, just did an awesome cruise around the Coromandel two weeks back, around 12 cars. They’re on Facebook too, also on Facebook is FGNZ - heaps of G6ET owners on there, there’s also Ford Falcon Club NZ on Facebook... yes most activity is happening through Facebook - I’ve joined heaps of things on there and mange a decent cruise at least fortnightly. I’m in Auckland and go to just about all events happening, you’re welcome to connect on Facebook so I can let you know of anything coming up. There’s also a group of us meeting tomorrow (Sun 29 Dec)10.15 at Hampton Downs for Caffeine and Gasoline followed by a few laps around the track.

Hi, looking to pull the diff out of my G6ET so another guy can fit a trutac for me. I’m hoping to find a step by step guide/video etc. Thanks

Have booked with Zane for my retune, looking forward to him getting it properly sorted for me. Valve spring upgrade happening this week ahead of Zane’s tune

By full exhaust I’m talking about from, and including the dump pipe back

Appreciate your feedback. Yes I’m looking at other tuner options, nothing really jumping out at me with the rep of tuners here

Hi, have G6ET with 355rwkw, currently have a full xforce system with the twin 2.5” pipes. Other mods include a Walbro 400, PW stage 1 intercooler, 1000cc injectors, GTX3582 gen 2 with flapper mod and porting etc. Had hoped for more kw from the recent tune, a couple people have suggested that single exhaust 4” system would help, thoughts? Reluctant to change the exhaust unless it’ll make a difference, wasn’t cheap to buy being a full stainless one. Thanks

Cheers, a good 6-7mm clearance

The brembos brakes fitted well with plenty of clearance
