Hey Guys, I know this question would of been asked here and I have spent time going through it, but it can be hard to find the best answer. Have an 09 G6ET and would like to go with 19's just for there grip over 20's (I know there wont be much extra). I still wont rule out 20's if it gets me 20mm extra in the rear So the wants. I don't need the deep dish from small offsets but rather the tires fit perfect no rub. 19' or 20' Fronts 245/255 Largest rears possible I have seen 305 but I was thinking for good fitment 275 or a size larger? (car is getting high end diff bushes and looking into a locker) I just need the offsets and the tire sizes that they are able to run please! (sorry to ask a question I know there is an answer somewhere on here)

Thanks guys have made an inquiry to fare trading. Have also been able to get 'ZF Australia' to email me saying that a flush will generally never work so it seems like its time to play hard ball.

Hey guys, Well its being fixed ATM but there telling me that after a good flush. and once the milkiness is out the gear box will be fine I want to know if this is right or do I get fair trading involved and talk to ZF to get there expert option? Any useful input is greatly appreciated Cheers Allan

Thanks for the help. Might send the guy and email and see what happens if I don't get the right noises might get work to follow it up. Again thanks for the help

Hey Lady's and Gents, Well I am having a few issues with the G6ET It has a bad diff bush, it makes a knocking noise somewhere at the front of the car when the road is a little bumpy. Does any one know what causes this. HOWEVER the big problem is the ZF I think. After short drives now the thermo fans are staying on after the car is turned off? The temp on the dash is normal but we all know that is not the most important temperatures. The box feels like it is slipping and every time is does I think the car is pulling back on the acceleration. Is this normal? It is happening badly in 3rd and 4th up hills when in tip-tronic mode. When in lower gears this doesn't happen at the higher revs all seems fine. Also the shifts is really hard and delayed. Do my assumptions seem correct? This is my first auto and really know nothing about them other then the ZF is different to most of them. If you could help with this it would be great. The car was bought from a dealer with the 3mth warranty so it should be covered right? All help is much appreciated guys. Regards, Allan

Hey Guys, Got a the G6ET just over 2 mths ago and with the 3 mth warranty from used car dealers I have found that the diff bush needs replacing and something else under the car is knocking over uneven bumps in the road (sounds like it is coming from the front). Does anyone know what this could be? The other more concerning is in low rpm (1400-2000) in 3rd or 4th in tip-tronic mode with the acceleration over 50%. The car starts to splutter and go all over the place it builds a bit of boost then dumps then comes back on. It almost sounds like the car is miss firing. Is there anyone around the Wollongong area I can send the car to? Should this be covered by the 3 mth warranty it comes with? If anyone know alot about the common problems or can help please pm me and ill try to call you? Its all a big help thanks guys Regards, Allan

Has anyone heard about updating the firmware for these cars apparently it can be done and it makes the car a bit more compatible with phones and the interface? But does it offer anything tuning or traction control benefits. Also any takes on the Astra

Cheers, This is not all going to happen at once and I really think I wont be running those number everyday There is no need for the wear and tare on the car and tyres I dont need the ongoing cost of things breaking (I use to have a BA MkI ewwww). I am hoping to run only 8 psi or similar daily and hopefully will be in the low 300's or high 200's. I didn't know about the back end of these cars and will defiantly be looking at that when I go for the higher numbers. As for my aspirations and budget. The budget will always have to come first as saving for a house at the same time (and also have a wife to convince haha). By the looks for 350 ish with the room to go higher I will be in about 8-9k (I know I have other expenses for a true track and zf dyno tune and maybe looking at a brembo brake pack might check if any of my other contacts have some parts they want to get rid off) along with the cost of services. However the point of this was to find what bits I need to make this power. But its great to know what else is needed down the road! I have a Expensive Daewoo Astra City TS I think it is maybe a swap for a GTX3582R (minus housing) and a process west surge tank with the 044. How I hate that car!!! Again all thanks for informing me on what I will need to be looking for.

Thanks for your feed back guys piping kit came form with the cooler its a Rapid v1.0 But thinkiing I will get the extra parts to take it to 2.0 or spend a little bit more and go Process west with the 6" trumpet to 4 inch.

Very helpful thankyou. Well I am starting to think I will do this is two stages get parts I listed above. Keep stock turbo and run what it can handle? Save for the turbo, surge tank and LSD/tail-shaft setup. Get the numbers to my goal. Keen the car on low boost as it will not be a daily driver anyway and save for the ZF build.

Yeh I have heard the gear box and the LSD start having problems at this power level as a subcontractor of mine has filled me in on what to expect. I think I might look into the LSD and hope I have a good box for now. Are the parts listed above fine for this power level biggest problem at the moment is the fuel pump and if the rapid v2.0 intake can handle that power level as I know nothing about the rapid systems sorry.
