  1. Yeah I've worked through all the usual suspects (under the assumption the diff ratio was correct) and didn't find anything. Given the car thought the rear end was a 2.73 and the rear end wasn't I believe thats the issue.
  2. BJC the way the unit is setup you'd need to be stevie wonder to mis align it. IMS have done a great job of setting it up.
  3. I have a tig, plasma cutter and assortment of cable ties. I can hook you up Son!
  4. I've had a little project on the go for a bit. Not my car but the basics are late bf sedan fg turbo engine, bf f6 pcm and ZF6 and a few other bits and pieces. A couple of shops here in Perth (not xft or monsta torque) have had the car and haven't been able to sort it. I found a heap of config issues between the ic/pcm/abs and tcm. I've worked through those but still had an issue with the car grabbing neutral on the 2/3 shifts under load. I was about to condemn the trans but noticed some weirdness in the logs from the abs unit and tcm. In the course of testing it broke the lh inner stub axle (no skids not my car) do after searching around u found a complete bf f6 rear cradle with repco shafts and sp diff bushes from a local wrecker. The owner managed to grab this for a song so with the help of my Son, my Dad, Turbo Knapp and his rodeo and eventually even the wife we got it from its resting place in the front packing Bay around the back and on the hoist. I then set about removing the rear end and too my surprise found the rear end the owner had paid one of the shops to install to suits the xf was actually a 4 spd open centre 3.43 The tcm ans pcm and even abs and David calibrations are all set up for a 2.73 lsd rear end! I'm pretty convinced there lies the issue. I believe the pcm and tcm are seeing an engine rpm, trans out put and wheel speed relationship that does correspond with the values allowed for the 2.73 rear and this is upsetting the whole deal Tl:dr Pulled a diff out and it's was diff(badoomtish)erent to what it should have been. Pics- Old rear end comes out New rear end goes in-
  5. Having seen rim in person all I can say is they need to be out in the sunshine on a moving car for full effect. Good to see another turbo rocking quality jap wheels in proper offsets not chrome roh glares or similar.
  6. Skids? Also How's the breast pump working out for you? Also is she a member of the west side crips?
  7. Any WA peeps looking for fresh tires/new rims? I've got a set of staggered hiros in 8.5 front and 9.5 rear would have to confirm offsets but you'll get the idea from the pics. Tyres are near new t1r proxes on the front in 245and 75% fresh hankook ventus in 275. PM me if keen. Price is on par with replacing tyres. Brakes clear brembos front and rear. Look like dis - Nb lawn not included. If anybody wants to go double double and grab a set of four pot brembos and the wheels I'll hook you up with a smoking deal and even bolt the gear on for you.
  8. The rain on the plain is so loud it causes pain.
  9. About the same amount as swapping out the stick iwg actuator with a ts unit
  10. Yeah pretty common for them to go. Cradle needs to come out to remove the tank so..... That probably answers your question.
  11. How serious are you? Im about to rejig my fuel system so will potentially have my tank up for sale.
  12. Fairly accurate, except Imagine the Guy is much better looking and has much more dramatic flair when falling. Good chat Stripes, good chat.
  13. Plenty of time for dick chomping when you only work 18mins an hour.
  14. "Angry Train Driver with too much free time on his hands rants on secret Hoon Internet Page"...? Oh you Bitey McDickchomp?
  15. I've had one of there dumps for about 5 years. Good item for the price
