It should get to 700kw fairly easily, it depends how hard you want to lean on the fuel system and the engine. If you're ever in SA send me a message and we'll organise something.

Morning mate, top of the day to you

good night

Hopefully it's on the hub next week!

gee that green rocker cover really stands out

Finally done

Nah no point going back to bed. Got some stuff to do today so may as well do stuff while the stuffings good.

Photos don't do them justice

Reasonable is 10% rich, I have higher standards I will refine the tune, just cos, but it's in a good place for now.

These settings below for me for functional cruise control, but the "Set" indication on the dash did work. I thought it may have been an FPV cluster config difference. The switch input needs to be B16 Pin not CAN. The rest of the inputs for the CC are CAN so I was working with Haltech on it, but haven't followed up as Im using the IC now. On the IC7 im using the Trac/Launch control icon with the colour changed to Green for Cruise Active Indicator and Cruise

Dipstick goes into the block not the sump. Thes a casting in the block that needs to be drilled out to suit the FG block and B series Sump link below https://www.facebook.com/groups/835157856682373/posts/1304549436409877/

Hawk tua 😘

sorry to bump such an old post but wanted to share my success.. My 2003 BA Fairlane just had manifold and injectors replaced, but when I got it back the fuel gauge and light indicated it's empty.. with 1/4 of a tank it still sat on empty. Removed fuses 27 and 29 for instruments (the two red 10's second and forth in from top right) - they were not blown... reinserted them both and turned key - JOY! - fixed. I guess when power fitted back after prior work, the gauge glitched.. fuse remove reset it. Thanks @Ben_BAXR6 - your detailed post inspired me to go try resetting it with the two fuses you named! (after confirming it on my diagram of course heheh).

Roller doors are in, personnel door is in, 99% of the flashing is done, concrete is next week. Should probably smash out a couple dyno sessions for the neighbours before I move everything

The shed is getting there. The side walls are on now, just needs the flashing, personnel door and roller doors fitted then it's done. After that will be concrete and that will be it. Will get the dyno in there ASAP and slowly move the rest of my tools etc in. Haha had to lift the clothes line to get my trailer out yesterday, mate picked up an offset smoker. Might even get excited and go on a car fixing rampage

can't wait to see the pics good turbo choice

Ok, since it's so quiet on here, I thought I'd give a bit of an update on what's happening. I sent the car away last year to have a Nexus R5 installed, and a new motorsport loom done up. The plan was to get that up and running on the existing setup, with a bit of a check over to ensure everything is healthy. Turns out things weren't as I'd hoped, so I've ended up with a new engine build, including a Nitto billet crank. The G35-900 had cooked bearings and a bent shaft, so I'm actually throwing a G35-1050 in there because I'm curious whether there will be much of a spool difference. And it maintains current pipework. I'd like to try the new G35-990 (G series 2), but Garrett haven't released it yet. While the engine was out, the engine bay was fully prepped and repainted. It's not showcar spec, but it's close, especially with the new wiring loom. Getting a bunch of heat shielding done so nothing melts. I'll of course get pics when it's all done. I'd say it'll be tuned in the next 4 weeks. The only thing limiting the turbo will be back pressure and the 1650cc injectors.

Using my generator and gasless mig to put my gate back on, cos the shed guys don't understand that it only opens one way. I've got all the spicy arms from weld spatter with no gloves or shirt.

Moar shed

Shed

I will have a think on it. I will probably get the eBay 460 assembly and be done with it. It’s been off the road for over month now so a couple more days waiting for it to arrive won’t matter thanks for taking the time to type that out for me

oopsie keif, unlucky mate horrible feeling and damage. just dont tell the insurance mob you did some handy work to it prior lol

I've already documented this in my territory thread

I got some made 10yrs ago from a shop in qld. Cant remember the name now doh But they maintained the seat based side airbags with proper double stitching etc.

Shed has footings, power runs are back down to $100 and I'm sick as a dog. Fun times

I don't think so but you can search at Alltranz. Was given this business from members of this forum and it helped me source exact parts for the zf6hp26 trans. I've put a link below for FG falcon trans but check your serial number on the box. Mine ended in 020. https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/ZF-by-Transmission/6HP26/

I have a btr box built from toney dominello transmission an im pushing 560rwkw an 1600nm of torque, always serviced in time, only ever driven just in manual mode, box is 4 years old an still going strong. Also mate a good tune is what keeps them going longer, very inportant.

You don't have the best luck with cars hey @k31th I was driving my car on one of those sh*te roads yesterday and the stability control came on because the car got airborne and sideways at the same time...on a straight road while doing the speed limit.
