AIM-300

Hey guys looking at selling my ute or trading it on an evo 7 or a 33gtr but unsure if my asking price is realistic. If you follow the link below you will see where I have posted It for sale on another site but just wanted to be sure I'm not dreaming in regards to the price 2006 Xr6 Turbo Ute - Skylines Australia Any help will be much appreciated Cheers adam

seriously man I have been down this road with spiko... and after having a few conversations with him, your anticipation will be worth it for all parties involved.

shame it wouldnt even make it to 300 though. you would be picking pieces of it up for 10km the pieces would scatter that much

Yeah im currently running 265s on a 9.5 inch rim that's +35 offset but even runnin ku31s it still is hopeless traction wise

would you have enough outer guard clearence running a +20?? im about to choose my wheels and I begain to think about this thread again. lookin something jap style though and most of them are a low offset so it would work if I could fit a 10.5 under there with like a +18 - +22 offset. just thinkin there would be f all clearence when running a 295 semi

agreed, I appologise, I have expressed my curiosity in prolly not the best way and both me and spiko are laughing about it over IM.

so what I gather from that rant is (other than your superiority complex dictated by your use of “big” words yet lack of sentence structure and spelling ability) is that you are happy to throw money at your car yet not actually achieve anything personal out of it for the greater good of your team. Personally im itching to see the first 10 second manual xr6t be it you / your “team” or someone else. The way I see it is... Do you really wanna be the second person to do a 10 in a manual coz that's all I see comin from your ill do it when im ready attitude

im talkin about the car this thread is about though I thought you would have been able to figure that out seeing as you have figured out where I was goin with that question. My point is 12.2 is along way off a 10 and I wouldnt claim someone elses time in your car as a personal achievement. I fully respect what your doin, the money spent and what your hoping to achieve though until you personally steer your car to somewhere close to a 10 I say the challenge is far from over.

so what is the fastest time you personally have run in your car spiro?

sweet thanks

As above guys. Can anyone tell me what size the thread is on a 6 speed manual xr6 turbo gear shifter? Havin a custom shifter knob made up and it will be a screw on type so yeah need to know what size to tap it

no offence mate but the fact your asking the question scares me... you need to crawl before you walk and 500kw is no joke

for a moment there I thought I had accidently clicked onto boost cruising... hopefully back on topic now so we can hear more about this truely remarkable CAR...

wow... that's only... you know... 300rwkw more then me

how and where please, im up for one on my wifes ba. was quoted 230 bux friggin thing can keep stalling and idling ruff for 230 bux

your prolly better drivin a coupla hundred k's to brisbane and gettin the best in the biz to do it, mal woods is the tremec distributor as far as im aware,

wow I dont mind that. Is it just a monitor with a remote player?

no actuator son. running an etm external gate to control boost http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/External-Wastegate-Modification-With-Screamer-t44523.html

will post in new post below it was amusing how hard it was til we were like.... sh*t, this thing isnt comin off

so initial results seem positive we had a little time on the dyno yesterday to check things were safe for the moment before we go leaning on it and this is basicly what we found initially we were making around 380odd rwkw at tyres on to 20psi with the .5 comp cover on a 28degree day. since putting the .7 comp cover on and the process west hot side, we are now making the same power on 17psi, on a 37.5 degree day. now that's a massive difference in ambient temp aswell a a fair reduction in boost to make the same power, so overall im impressed and looking forward to bumping the boost back up and giving it a thorough tune and see if we can crack 400rwkw. we are all quietly confident though its now just finding time when my tuner isnt swamped to sort it out. there are a few things we have left to play with so I will keep this updated when ever we progress with anything overall I would say money well spent.

sif not update with pics and details of said epic xr6t supercar...

Will have results after the retune this weekend. Stay tuned :-)

so... I fitted my .7 comp cover and I must say after all the stuffin around, it would have been so much easier if I had a guide. unfortunately by this time the car was assembled and I hadnt taken any progress pics. having said that I will go through the basics incase anyone else runs into any problems what you will need... the new compressor cover, the new backing plate to suit, the new clamping plates for the new cover, 2.5" 90degree elbow, spanner set, socket set, 90degree circlip pliars, 90degree 4" silicon bend, stainless 90 degree 4" bend grinder with cutting wheel and a stanley knife 1. remove all your old intercooler and intake pipework running to your turbo. 2. loosen all the compressor cover bolts evenly till theyre all free ( the factory ones on the .5 comp cover are in 2 lots of 3 where the new ones will most likely be in 3 lots of 2 bolts.) 3. remove the compressor cover from the turbo unit, being carefull of the compressor wheel 4. infront of you there will be a backing plate which will have had the comp cover clamped to it, on the back of the you will see the mother of all circlips holding the backing plate to the turbos core. with a pair of 90 degree circlip pliars, find the biggest person you know and have them remove the circlip. (the circlip is increadibly resistant thus the need for someone with guns to remove it) 5. once the circlip has been removed, the old backing plate will come free and slide over the compressor wheel. 6. grab the backing plate for the .7 cover and slide it into place and reinsert the circlip with said big gunned friend. 7. now in the process of doing this I also put a custom oil drain on. though this is not necessary, I did and if you too are going to fit another oil drain the time is now as once the new compressor cover goes on there will be bugger all room to get to it. 8. now that the backing plate is on it is time to fit the new comp housing. slide it gently over the compressor wheel and onto the backing plate. 9. with your new compressor housing and backing plate you should also have obtained some new clamping plates (unsure what the official name for those are but yeah, you know what I mean) fit them to the new comp cover so as to hold the cover in place 10. manouver your new housing to roughly the same position as your old housing and nip the bolts up in the housing. 11. now when fitting this kit I was also using a process west hot side kit so all I had to do was replace the 90 degree 2.5 to 2in reducer with a 90 degree 2.5in bend cut down to suit. now that takes care of the fitting of the cover and hot side pipework, all that is left to do is make up a new intake. have fun with that, I used the 4" silicon and 4" stainless cut right back to mount my filter in my custom battery tray box. any questions, just post up and if I have missed anything please point it out as I would hate to lead anyone astray. cheers adam
