  1. Nice one man, I've thought about doing this to an na AWD Territory. Cool project
  2. 20W60 is too thick for a stock engine, but when clearances are opened up a bit it works well
  3. 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?
  4. All the best with it mate! I anticipate you'll come back to an FG one day...
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. Yes mate. Night and day with built motor. Savage down low, and made over 600rwkw
  8. You say that... But trying to find someone in Sydney who isn't sh*t and overpriced is a challenge...
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. Yep, chucked in a high end Kenwood unit with Android auto, crystal clear reverse camera etc. Works perfectly with steering wheel controls.
  15. Installation of Aeropro facia, modified to accept Haltech CAN pad:
  16. 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
  17. Bit of momentum gathering to get her running again?
  18. 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
  19. Bit of an update. Still nothing broken. Pretty miraculous. It's going in next week to have an interior freshen up. Aeropro ICC replacement, new Polk speakers, rewire of some stuff. I don't really care about car audio because I'm always listening to the engine, but its all part of having this car super neat and tidy
  20. How did you go man? I did 6/4 brembos on the sedan. Obviously different, but no issues
  21. Fair point, I'll see what I can do. 0-100 will not be quick haha. It's been quiet on here lately...
