  1. just my luck I have the pressed on sealed item , so is hardy spicer the company I need to go to ???? Took som pics of my car , I know some people don't like putting a GT bonnet on a F6 but I think it looks heaps better ... Just my opinion
  2. Are you sure you can do a FG tailshaft centre bearing yourself ???
  3. Ok now we are getting somewhere , this sounds promising ...... Ok where and who will do the replacement of the centre bearing once I have brought it ??? Sorry for all the questions this problem has been driving me crazy for a while now .... Ok I will go to telco tomorrow and sus out a centre bearing
  4. Sorry I don't mean to sound like an idiot but what is sprints ????? And do you mean a centre bearing costs $80 ????? I thought they weren't replacable ????
  5. I got it from fordpro wreckers , it was in perfect condition , and still is I released the centre bearing bracket just last week end and checked the rubber for any splits or fatigue and all looks good , the only thing I noticed is the bearing sits low in the rubber closer to the bottom edge of the bearing bracket , is that just the weight of the shaft and bearing doing that or does everybody else's tailshaft sit in the middle of the bracket while stationary ???? Should the sedans have a spacer between the floor and the centre bearing bracket a silly question but just asking because that might centre the shaft inside the bearing bracket and rubber and just wondered if it should have spacers but are missing for some reason
  6. Yeah the power is great now , just gotta sort this tailShaft out ....what is the fix ??? Is there another tailshaft available ?????
  7. Ok it was the bloke at rapid systems names chris I here he isn't around anymore so it won't really matter I guess ...
  8. I don't really want to say who done the first tune I blame myself for not doing my research and taking it to a company that didn't even have a dyno in the workshop ..... It has a new tailshaft put in recently like a couple months ago , I did notice that the tailshaft centre bearing sits low in the rubber it sits closer to the bottom of the actual bracket should it sit like that and it just centres it self once the tailshaft is spinning or is that a sign I have done another tailshaft centre bearing ???
  9. The green line was the tune another person done after paying th to tune my car and it stalled and did really wierd things then I took it to spiro and he made my car a rocket on wheels it is soooooo nice to drive and The PS91's are awesome I have had pirelli's and the sh*tty dunlops and they don't grip anywhere near the kumo'so I really like them .... I posted in the drive line section a little trouble I am having with my car ... When I accelerate really hard I feel like a slight rumble vibration type of thing it's like its in the meat of the torque part of the power it smooths out up top and it's not the in first gear or on a standing start under hard throttle and it's not there on a freeway cruising either or in general driving as I said before it's just in the hard acceleration that I feel it , I have already put new engine and gearbox mounts and a new tailshaft and the diff bushes are new SUPERPRO items the new tailshaft did make it better but it is some what still there just not as bad any idea's would be so appreciated as it is doing my head in trying to solve it .... Should I replace the upper and lower control arm bushes ???? I am getting the tailshaft balanced I'm told ford does it for about $120 ....
  10. Hi I am new here and just wanted to throw out there what I have done to my car it's an FG F6 in lighting strike I have XYZ COIL OVERS ,X4 sct tuner , kumo PS91 rear tyres Crow cam valve springs Plazmaman surge tank 400LPH in tank pump Waste gate ported Turbo smart 12psi actuator XFORCE 3 1/2 inch stainless exhaust 4" dump SUPERPRO diff bushes Rapid systems Intercooler and piping Bosch 1000cc injectors Autotech / spiro tuned to 362 rwkw
  11. Yeah all good I will post the dyno sheet and mods I have done , it was actually tunes by spiro at autotech engineering
  12. Yeah It's always been there , it's just more pronounced since I got it tuned and put all the bolt ons ..yeah all the mounts are genuine , yeah I really need to take it to some one that knows fords and take them for a run in it they need to feel it first hand thanks heaps for you help though , that's why I have put new engine and gearbox mounts and SUPERPRO diff bushes and tailshaft , trying to chase this thing down ..
  13. Located in penrith NSW , thanks for taking the time to help , some one would have seen this issue before im thinking fingers crossed they read this and chime in
  14. Also it is better than before since putting the new tailshaft in but it Is defiantly still there seems to be in the meaty part of the torque if that makes sense
  15. Yeah I only feel it under hard acceleration , it's making 362 RWKW , does the centre bearing in these cars require spacers between the bearing bracket and the mounting on the floor pan I have noticed the tailshaft sits low in the centre bearing bracket , if you know what I mean .... Or does that correct itself when the tailshaft is spinning ???? Also should I get the new tailshaft balanced at ford ????? Sorry for All the questions this is driving me crazy trying to sort out ....
  16. Standard ford tailshaft that come on an FG F6 , what does an upgraded one have and where do I get it from ???
  17. First time posting , I have an FG F6 and I have a vibration in the drive train under hard acceleration I put a new tailshaft in it and it has SUPERPRO diff bushes and blade arms bushes and XYZ coil overs it has new engine Mounts and new gearbox mount as well , what I wanted to ask is if it could be any of the rear control arm bushes or rear drive shafts that is the problem ????? There is no vibration in first gear it's only in second and third or so it seems and smooths out up top is this because this is where all the torque is and that's why it's showing up there ???? Any help would be so much appreciated .... Cheers chris
