Some updated pics - have been trying to restore it to AS NEW. Side skirts painted, front bar painted, under guard detail, engine bay detail, new genuine front headlights, etc

Yeh true.. not really into drag racing, more just want something to cruise in and scare some friends and relatives with 25psi lol

Ah ok thanks mate, might just be easier to go 6 speed manual conversion...

Thanks boys! Very happy with it so far.. I actually really like the 4 speed BTR as it has been tuned to suit and has much firmer shifts... looking at perhaps just buying a built BTR when I go for the next round of mods and 500rwkw.. unless there's another option that will keep drivability and handle the power?

Hey guys, Just got a new XR6T from the mainland (I'm in Tassy) Just thought I'd share a few pics.. Good to be back in a Barra after selling my F6 RSpec a little while ago.. - 2005 MKII - 101,000kms original - Rapid V3 intercooler kit - SMB turbo back exhaust system - Walbro 255 with upgraded hoses at tank - Valve springs - FG turbo exhaust housing, ported/flapper mod with 12PSI actuator - Low temp high flow thermostat - Iridium plugs - 5x Genuine FPV "Cobra" wheels - 6 / 4 Brembos - BILSTEIN shocks all round with upgraded heavy duty lowered springs - WhiteLine adjustable swaybars with upgraded bushing and a camber caster kit - Triple gauge pod - DJR lip spoiler - BF tail lights - 344rwkw @ 15psi - tuned by PitLane 8 or so years ago and still going strong! Cheers!

guys this is just a quick shot of under my car.. is the bellhousing meant to not line up properly and have holes in the side there? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AozJGemTOSiRhJ8ao-x8S50AIE6jkA

Thanks mate I have been told it was built by Duane Evans at hi torque performance when they were around.. no idea on the clearance specs or anything :(

Thanks guys, does anyone know what range the stock FPV oil pressure gauge shows? with the oil that I just dropped it would sit at 1/3 when idling and when I revved it it went to 2/3 under load. I will keep an eye on this new and see what it reads

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have the following engine build in my car: - Cosworth Forged Pistons - Howard I-Beam Conrods - ARP Main Studs - ARP Head Studs - Cradle Gurdle - Billet Oil Pump Gears - Steel Head Gasket - Crow valve springs. Is there a recommended oil for this combination? I cant ring the engine builder as they dont exist anymore.. I bought some Penrite racing 15w-50 - 100% pao ester synthetic... Will this be OK? Engine would have like 15,000kms on it maximum. Cheers,

Thanks Keith, it has a remoter bleeder and apparently already has a mal wood twin plate upgraded clutch... I can confirm the remote bleeder as I used it to bleed my clutch fluid a few months back. If it has the remote bleeder im sure it is the metal CSC as part of the mal wood kit. I will order a CSC and take it to the shop to inspect. Is there anything else I should order/replace if im changing the CSC? Spigot, thrust bearing or anything?

Thanks Keith, makes sense as I am also getting some clutch drag when downshifting.. Know the best place to order a new CSC?

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone would know why my clutch would be making a whirring noise when launching in first gear, or even in reverse, followed by a bad clutch smell.. ? Car drive perfectly fine otherwise, and clutch holds fine under boost. There just seems to be an issue when im launching up hill or reversing up an incline, etc. I'm not riding the clutch or anything, literally just feels like the clutch can't engage properly as soon as there is a hill or incline that I'm driving up.. Thanks,

build 47, white, 6 speed manual

Guys my car arrived yeterday, where will you be tonight??? Anywhere near the NW coast?
