hello people I am moving to darwin in few weeks.I have a 04 ba turbo with a minor work done to it.pushing 329rwkw on 98 octane...is it true the fuel 98 isnt availabe up there as someone told me it comes from indo and only have 96..who is a good tuner up there as more mods could be a possability down the track.the guy I use down here (sa)is great but guess going to have to find a local upon arrival to top end.any help would be great thanx.also is there a xr6 turbo car club as such would be good to go for a boost with some crew.and how much does the humidity etc effect performance..get some good crisp nights down here..cheers

G'day mate, haha that's pretty funny about the fuel. They sell bp ultimate here and the quailty would be close to as good as anywhere, just probly not in the wet season as hudmity gets to 3000%.

I only fill up at bp on smith st in the city, that's where all the hoons fill up... from what ive been told :derisive:

I would defently reconmend you take your machine to get tuned by Keelan at "Pecky performance and dyno tune".

Tell him Craig sent you, hes a good mate of mine.

He even has a bf xr6 turbo with simlar power to you and run flat 11's in it. He loves these things.

Not much has happened as far as turbo'ed falcon cruises but I see theres a few guys kicking around in this forum every now and then.

With the heat up here, expect to feel the power drop, and see a big differance on the dyno, as its a killer this time of the year all the way untill the dry season next year.

In the dry we get nice crisp cool nights down to as low as 12 degrees and bugger all hudmity.

G'day pissant, Yeah its pretty quiet on here. So are you still up here in darwin? I havent seen your car around, did you get a tune done up here?

Heres a pic of my beast

Hey Wright'y, have been away for the last few months but should be back in Darwin in a week or so. I got most of my work done by Elite Automotive in Qld before I drove it up. The car hasn't been out much, probly a few hundred kms this year. Have to organise something for all the guys on here sometime

Cheers,

Pissant
