  2. Hi Guys, Few pics of old vs. new. Had the FG for a day and loving it! Specs Below: 2002 BA XR6 Turbo Sedan Mercury Silver 126 000 km's Typhoon Airbox K & N Filter Monza Cooler Injectors X-Force 3inch stainless from the dump back. 279rwkw SSL King Springs all round Ultima Shocks De-spoilered Most of a Genuine DJR Kit Chrome Grill/Mirrors/Boot Garnish 2009 FG XR6 Turbo Ute Dash 18000 km's Tech Pack Stock. Cheers, Daniel.
  3. Good Question Mika. Last service was done by a ford tech, but in his own shed and a heap cheaper than what ford do. Next service is 75K and is this thursday, book in at the local dealer, as my mechanic mate has moved away.
  4. hey hiddeous, what does the solenoid sound like? what I've described? constant clicking until backing off, kind of like an open drum roll? it is possible coz its got a 10psi generic tune and a wog cooler and was running about 12.5psi when dyno'd
  5. I took a mate for a ride who knows a bit about turbos, admittedly he's from the subaru side of the fence, but he said it definately doesnt sound like pinging. I use Shell V-Power all the time. After reading Mika's post I went for a drive and baby'd it for about 20mins, in traffic, suburban streets, and crusing at 100 on the highway. After that I gave it a kick in the guts, from 0 to about 150 and there was no sound at all, I did this 3 or 4 times with the same result. I'm thinking maybe the turbine is loose and makes a metal on metal noise when its cold, and it stops when the car warms up and the turbine is slick with oil. Sound possible? should the turbine move? the mate I took for a drive said he thought it shouldn't move and that maybe it had done a bearing, I have no idea though. thanks for your help guys
  6. Seems to happen all the time. no idea if its pinging, sound like its coming from the turbo, or atleast on the turbo side, but its a constant clicking at high revs, and is consistent, same spacing between the sounds, probably about 150 beats a min if that helps. if it was pinging what other signs would there be? really hope it isn't
  7. Hey Guys, Recently when driving the T, if I take off and get up over about 3000 to 3200 revs there is a clicking sound coming from the turbo, sounds like metal on metal. I've had the front pipe of too look at the turbine, it all looks ok, but it has a tiny bit of forward backward movement, and alot of up down movement, but not enough for the fins to touch the sides, and no grooves or anything to make you think they been hitting the sides. any ideas? bearings? cheers in advance, Daniel.
  8. cheers deek I'll give it a go, Daniel.
  9. Hey guys, recently bought a tbar garnish off of ebay with an fpv logo on it, just wondering if there were any tips or tricks to getting the old one off easily without damaging anything? any help would be appreciated, cheers, Daniel.
  10. Hey guys, what is the safest/easiest way to remove the badges from your sideskirts and boot? the xr6 on the side skirts are de chroming so they're gonna go. also the 't' of 'turbo' on the boot is broken so I'm gonna take it off. I'm gonna replace the falcon badge with an fpv one and line up a chrome terri turbo badge with it on the other side. then I'm gonna put red turbo badges on the front guards in the same place as on daves old 'PASHEN' xr6t. what do you reckon? anyone used chrome turbo badgers on their xr6t? cheers, Daniel
  11. I saw this and had to go to ebay to see another angle of that cooler, from the pic posted I didn't believe it was real, looked like a photoshop job. I still cant really believe anyone has done this! cheers, Daniel
  12. Thanks mattj, just did envy t's bov mod (no flames please) and its dosing like a drifting 180sx! I like it, cheers, Daniel.
  13. Good plan zap, but I dunno if it the best way (I know I said easiest) cheers, Daniel.
  14. That'll come eventually buddy, long list of stuff to do though, dunno when I'll get to that! cheers, Daniel.
  15. yeah mate it'll be there tomorrow for you, just bought a new cooler on the net too, might need your help with that in a week or two, Cheers, Daniel.
  16. thanks again mbjunior99, you seem to have been the most helpful tonight, great to have people like you around, cheers, Daniel.
  17. yeah your right sinnkexr6t, I did pay too much, but its got stuff all k's, its the old man colour which I like, and I wanted it and could have it. so that's what I paid. lets just all be happy that I didn't get railroaded in F**dCr**it and pay an extra $4.5K over 5 years. Cheers, Daniel.
  18. your right revheadrobbo, I made the mistake of getting the xt when I was on my ps and now I have the xr6t I can see what I missed for 18 months, cheers, Daniel.
  19. thanks mbjunior, what would it cost for slotted rotors and bendix pads for all four corners? cheers, Daniel
  20. agreed glenn, thhey look good as, even on jrs car from street fords, but I reckon they look smaller than what they are and only look good in chrome. thanks for your opinions though, cheers, Daniel.
  21. Sounds like a plan dags, but I think I'd be better fixing it myself since I bought it secondhand and didnt notice it was loose before I drove it away, so I'm not gonna drive 300kms to see if its cover in the statutory warranty, cheers, Daniel
  22. Thanks alot for your help adam. I might be able to get a set of those ramps they use in car yards, sounds like it'd be worth it, cheers, Daniel.
  23. thanks adam, I dunno if its that though, coz you can push it back and forth from the front and twist it around and stuff, so I reckon if its push tabs theyre all broken, or maybe are pushed out and need to be pushed it. Lazy dealer I say. but its my fault for not noticing it before driving away I spose, hopefully easy to fix, cheers, Daniel.
  24. Thanks hypno doc, its a BA series 1. I was planning on going the dba/bendix path as soon as I got some shudder, cheers, Daniel.
  25. Thanks mbjunior99, that means they're not, thanks for your quick reply, are they worth upgrading if I'm going to 265ish rwkw soon? cheers, Daniel
