    Super tidy engine bay. Love it

    It's not uncommon for PCMs to fail in these cars as they age

    Hey is there much difference between the turbo and NA ZF gearbox? Hopefully the tick is a simple fix...
  4. Tom Tucker
    Very interested!!
  5. Tom Tucker
    Nice one man, I've thought about doing this to an na AWD Territory. Cool project

    20W60 is too thick for a stock engine, but when clearances are opened up a bit it works well
  7. Tom Tucker
    Good outcome mate. Exact experience I had going from 10W40 to 20W60. I even found the 15W50 Penrite 10 tenths not quite enough. Do you roll around on the road at 1000hp all the time?
  8. Tom Tucker
    Score!
  9. Tom Tucker
    All the best with it mate! I anticipate you'll come back to an FG one day...
  10. Tom Tucker
    ZF is a much better gearbox. Most guys end up with a T400 or Powerglide for big power. I guess all I meant was, you'd have to compare pretty closely the value of a built btr vs a ZF
  11. Tom Tucker
    Man, Go with whatever the place you're tuning with recommend. So many varying opinions. If it were me: - 460 fuel pump. Add drop in GFB fuel pressure reg - no bov - wouldn't waste money on btr. Just accept limitations, and upgrade to something else if you're going to build a transmission - suspension bushes, shocks, ball joints etc - brakes. 4 piston Brembo front, PBR rear is best value
  12. Tom Tucker
    More like 3000rpm
  13. Tom Tucker
    Yes mate. Night and day with built motor. Savage down low, and made over 600rwkw
  14. Tom Tucker
    You say that... But trying to find someone in Sydney who isn't sh*t and overpriced is a challenge...
  15. Tom Tucker
    What's the plan for the FG?
  16. Tom Tucker
    It's a good idea man. Not many people run them though. Falcons aren't meant to be tracked hard, especially not at 700kw. I was looking at a Setrab oil cooler, but haven't got around to it
  17. Tom Tucker
    I've got the Castrol Edge 20w60 in mine at the moment. It boosted my idle oil pressure on idle to high 20s. The Penrite stuff is probably good to go.

    You might have to look at Force Performance in Toowoomba man. When I was in Brisbane, East Coast Customs did a lot of work on my car, and they deal with barras a lot. Not sure if they have a ZF transmission specialist though.

    I fitted a 4" Xforce. Not the easiest job in the world getting a 4" exhaust over the rear cradle. Lots of shops don't like doing it and will tell you only 3.5" is possible. Don't believe them.
  20. Tom Tucker
    The Aeropro unit seems to be a good option. You just need to have it installed by someone that knows what they are doing. I like the idea of being able to choose whatever infotainment unit you want
  21. Tom Tucker
    Yep, chucked in a high end Kenwood unit with Android auto, crystal clear reverse camera etc. Works perfectly with steering wheel controls.

    Installation of Aeropro facia, modified to accept Haltech CAN pad:
  23. Tom Tucker
    Ok, got the Aeropro unit installed with a Kenwood unit (android auto, reverse camera etc). The facia has been modified to accept a Haltech 15 button CAN pad (coming soon). Will look sweet when it's all sorted
  24. Tom Tucker
    Bit of momentum gathering to get her running again?
  25. Tom Tucker
    I will one day. I've often wondered what the difference between a G40 and G42 would be. Lag in a manual is no fun, in my view
