No Territory's are sh*thouse my friend

What SR version of the Territory Turbo ?

The standard Goodyears are load rated at 102 (850kg each) and so wheels need to be as well. All the 275/40/20's I have seen have a 106 (950kg) load rating so are more than adequate but you need to choose wheels with this in mind.

'senna_T' has told you just about everything you need to know but be aware that the DSC is calibrated to the exact wheel & tyre combo as it comes from the factory. Taking into consideration not only tyre diameter but also profile and slip rate and other high-end factors not usually thought about by the average punter. FPVs Terra, the F6-X, has the exact same size wheel and tyre as the TT and TTG for that very reason. FPV couldn't afford the extra coin to recalibrate the DSC for another combo. Having said all that a Terra DSC system with 20's or 22's will probably still be better than what ToyMotor fit to the Klugers, have you read the Wheels article where they rolled one as the DSC didn't activate :(

5 x 120mm is a metric (Commodore) size so I don't understand how it would by old skool. Falcons have always been 5 x 4.5" (114.3mm), only the centre bore size and offset have changed. That offset (+ve 36.5mm) is correct for the standard Territory 7.5" wide wheels (all the 17" & 18" ones from the factory)

Great link. Lots of good info there. Thanks

They are 22"'s wearing 265/30/22 tyres, a PLUS 5 size :D

I've changed mine (Territory is the same as Falcon) The Ford literature says to disconnect the battery and allow at least 1 minute for the back-up battery to die down. I left mine for 1/2 hour and there was no drama . Good luck

So why don't they unveil the road car at the Sydney Motor Show in October this year, even if it's only the exterior and it's up on a rotating pedestal and you can't get all touchy feely with it. Then reveil it in full at the Melbourne show in late Feb/March, selling it from say April or thereabouts and be out there and racing the damn thing for the full 08 season. The Territory was reveiled in the same way as described back in 2003/04 and didn't go on sale until May of 2004 but by then everyone had seen what it would look like.

I don't this that will work, especially if you've got AWD. The lower part of the Terri strut is split to run either side of the front drive shaft. You guys want pics of dumped Territorys, how about this one;

Not so Orrie. You seem to have acknowledged that different tyre sizes need to be considered but then not taken them into consideration in your calcs. The XR6T final drive ratio is 2.73 and for the Terri Turbo 3.46 A quick divsion gives 1.267 and I assume this is where the "...about 25%..." comes from. Correct if the two cars had the same size tyres. The XR6T has 235/45/17 (calculated dia. of 643.3mm) The Territory has 235/55/18 (calculated dia. of 737.7mm) This time a division gives 0.872 and thus the larger tyre only needs to spin 87% as fast as the smaller tyre to cover the same ground. The net difference is 1.267 x 0.872 = 1.10 or in other words the Territory engine will be spinning only 10% faster for a given speed in top gear.

Hmmm, let me see Bigger population - No. What we have is probably not sustainable and the world would be a much better place with much less people in it, not more. De Salination - No. Not needed with a sensible sustainable population and the realisation that we do live in the driest populated country in the world not a southern hemisphere verison of Britian or the US. Think for ouselves - All for that. Get Nukes - Hell no. What does that do for us other than get some pointed our way waiting for some crazy to push the button. Canada as a role modele, what about NZ. They seem to be able to do their own thing and not get involved with US hostilities and they don't have a larger population or nukes. As for the flag and the republic. IMHO the republic is long overdue and I don't want another countries flag (or any other minority group) displayed in the corner of our flag. The current one clearly does not represent everyone that calls themselves Australian and does not necessarily reflect their history. The ideal time for these changes and to showcase to the world our new flag was the 2000 Olympics. An opportunity lost. That being said too much patriotism is a bad thing. We need to start thinking globaly not nationally. There is only one planet and it's just about stuffed.

Mel, If keeping it legal and insured is important to you also pay particlular attention to the load rating of any wheels and tyres you choose as well. Territory's require load index 102 (850kg) Not always easy to find.

Now that's gunna look real nice. Can't wait to see the photo's

It makes more sense to talk of torque splitting rather than power. The 62:38 split is correct and the bias is to the rear. It is achieved by purely mechanical means by having the f & r take their drive from different points of a planetary gear set. As these are at different distances from the centreline it is simply the length of the 'lever arm' that is distributing the torque in a predetermined split. Unfortunatley I couldn't find an image to make this easier to understand. Thus the Territory is fulltime AWD, there are no fluid couplings (variable or otherwise) to be found (after the normal torque convertor). From; http://autoweb.drive.com.au/cms/A_101280/newsarticle.html How does it work? The AWD Territory will employ a single-speed, full-time transfer case in conjunction with four-wheel traction control system using brake and engine intervention to control wheel slip. Available engine torque will be distributed 62 per cent to the rear axle and 38 per cent to the front axle, giving Territory the rear-drive bias favoured by the extensive customer research that went into the new vehicle. The four-speed electronic automatic transmission is similar to the critically acclaimed Sequential Sports Shift auto that made its debut in the BA Falcon. A stiffer main case, 10-bolt rear connection and high contact ratio gear set contribute to improved drivetrain stiffness and noise reduction. The new NV125 transfer case is mated to the transmission via a short, cast aluminium adaptor plate. The transfer case is a single-speed, full-time open differential unit with torque splitting achieved via an internal planetary gear set. Chosen for its robustness, light weight and packaging efficiency, the NV125 transfer case was selected by Territory engineers after extensive research and investigation of numerous AWD systems. By utilising the stability control and traction control systems to direct torque at each wheel, expensive and complex torque-transfer and slip-limiting devices, such as clutch packs and viscous couplings, have been eliminated from the transfer case. This ensures the Territory system is robust, durable and contributes to the vehicle's low running costs. The NV125 requires no regular maintenance.

Standard is 235/60/17" (about 28.1" diameter) the turbo will have 235/55/18". If your thinking of something bigger 275/40/20" is a legal fitment on 20x8.5" wheels.

Or anyone that has read the Digi TV post and realises it's just a switch to earth that activites the screen. Pretty darn easy, trust me mine has an ASL kit (self installed)

SX (4spd auto) AWD with 7 seats (ie. heavier) I manage high 13's to low 14's (l/100km's) as a med-long term average in everyday use. This is in what I would call semi-urban use, some freeway but still plenty of round-abouts, school zones, traffic lights etc and plenty hilly. High 11's to low 12's on intercity trips fully loaded with family and luggage.

Hi ktford Significantly taller rubber will likely foul the upper balljoint mount, same as it would on a Falcon. Only way around this is more offset to the wheels but that will make clearance with the guards an issue. Can you wait for the RTV version of the Territory?

One the lease is up on this one it'll definitely be on the must-have list

HAPPY DAYS Now if only I could get out of the lease on this one sooner......

XR8 maybe, everything you need to know is in CutSnakes Digital TV for Ford ICC, Proof of Concept thread. Download the wiring diagram from CutSnales post #31 (page2) and on post #79 (page 3) aaronmihe says; Hope that helps

With the release of the BF Falcon and SY Territory range Ford is now offering what they are calling a Auxiliary Audio 'Booster' Kit. From what I have found out this seems to be a Aux-in cable that comes with a small amplifier circuit. It draws power for this by plugging into (piggy-back style) the mobile phone connector as well. It also comes with the cable to hookup a MP3 player or whatever so no more sourcing of extra cables between the tissue box and your toys. Not cheap at $130 though (RRP fitted), the standard Aux-in cable remains available; http://www.ford.com.au/range/territory/acc...=188&category=2

Typically useless parts guy..... There's a good quality Territory branded CD wallet available for ~$25 from Ford. Just can't find the pic on their website anymore?
