    Ute Ratio Change

    178 000 km and I change the oil every 50,000km I have been using gulf western oil the factory fill is hideously expensive for oil
  4. Mine is a bit of a boat as it weighs heaps but it certainly improved with small upgrades , I have fitted bilsteins allround with a kmac rear swaybar , it has taken the heavy toolboxes from controlling the handling in bends and kept it much flatter , which I personally like
  5. Has anyone actually fitted 3.25 diff gears to a fg turbo ute, mine has a tray back and its normal drive around weight is 2300 kgs , its recently started to give trouble in the zf gearbox and im told its the clutches in the auto not liking the weight So I thought shorter diff might help Thoughts
  6. Lol I brought home from qld to sydney a entire enviro system from the sunshine coast to sydney Jesus it moved around a sh.t load in the wind Nothing a good trip to the laundry didnt fix
  7. A down side to the v8 bonnet I just fitted is the try hard Late model camira onwers now see the bulge and want to line up my ute , this never happenned with the standard bonnet , they must think my cars a v8 5.4 and that they have a chance or something in the interest of keeping my licence its a bit of a sh*t to turn them down
  8. Seriously if your car has done 70k u must consider this upgrade I have two turbos of 2009 vintage and both coolers have failed thankfully I am diligent about checking coolant resevior and have caught them b4 damaging transmissions in both csaes If u do have on fail dont drive it and coontact active automatics at blacktown he has saved both my transmissions speak to richard He is a good guy and been fantastic with his knowledge and help in both cases
  9. Sho The brakes and suspension cost about $3600 and my sons fitted them for me The wheels better b genuine for what they cost
  10. Yep I gotta admit it ,it puts a bloody big grin on my face when I can steal the keys the h&r coils and the bilsteins are probably the best upgrade you can do to one when I first got it it was a bit boaty , but I just love the way it points now, The brake upgrade is nice o have thou So should I change the cat or fit a new dump pipe
  11. The car has 6 spot brembo's on the front Ford territory rear brakes same as the cop cars Bilstein shochs H&R lowered coils Fpv dash Full leather and all the usual I have just got a f6 intercooler with some upgrade injectors I want to change the cat to a hi flow or should I just buy a dump pipe complete with cat My wife doesnt know it yet but she really needs around 300 rwkw lol My wife's girl friend who doesn't like big cars and didn't understand why anyone would want such a big car drove one the other day and is now badgering my mate for one She loves the grunt he reackons
  12. Hi , I own a XR6 ute and a G6ET. And I love the luxo feel of theg but it didnt take me long to put some h&r coils and bilstein shocks in it plus some 6spotters and the car now fills all my joys It about to get injectors a f6 cooler and dump pipe / cat then off to the tuners Im hopping for 300 kwrw But to answer your question id go a g it really hits the spot
  13. Had the same problem new shaft with f150 hd centre bearing and cv and the thing was a bloody nightmare at 100 kph on the freeway So I took it back to the guy that did it I was not happy so he put my car up on a four post hoist and took offthe rear wheels and held ute up on diff housing thenhe got a velcro stran tapped a weight to it and wrapped it around the back of the tailshaft Put a dial indicator against the chassis and spun it up moving the weight around the shaft till the car got smooth It feels ok but im not sure if this is the right way to do it I need to get it on the freeway and drive it up there again
