  1. Only clutch friction and steels. This mob has some more stuff that can be used in the ZF http://www.transmissioncenter.net/6R80_Ford_Transmission_Parts.htm
  2. Can you go thru this failure in a bit more detail, any pics. Pics of the keyway in the crank and the harmonic balancer would be good to. You are not suggesting someone forgot to put the key there??
  3. "filling back rings with the engine torqued always is a very time consuming job otherwise you end up with blow-by and catch cans ect" I cant see this being of any benefit. Please explain?
  4. Does anyone know much about this company like do they do an FG shock and how much. Don't really want to ring them up cause pretty sure more than I want to spend. http://supashock.com.au/Home.aspx
  5. Are there any fixes for the E clutch, more frictions, different material?
  6. Bill Burr is hillarious and there is heaps to be learnt from him. Especially pussy whipped guys who just don't realise they are pussy whipped.
  7. MGTOW stands for Men Going Their Own Way. Alot of good advice for men from the MGTOW movement.
  8. Addidas Rome, gee that brings back memories
  9. Don't waste your time. Its not in the trans tune. Can you tell me what strategy is it. You can find that out by plugging in the SCT. Just curious to see if it matches the PIA "stalling" strategy that was originaly put in my car. You can also tell your tuner that I have a "no stall" strategy which is absolutely rock solid coming back to idle. .

  11. I was thinking massage parlours, organise a map where we cruise from one to another.
  12. Have you had any thoughts about the chain tensioner. Its probably an area that I would look further into if doing a big build.
  13. This is when you need one of those optic fibre borescopes to help see the cat core. You can then easily tell whether it is your problem or not by looking at it.
  14. Its hard enough trying to diagnose anything with minimal info. I hope you sort it out. I am just relaying my experience. Mine would also not stall when coming to a slow stop but would when coming to a more sudden stop. Goodluck. But please tell us when you have solved it so that we all know what it was.
  15. I just want good food and girl watching incorporated into the get together and I will be there
  16. I don't think its the pump. Just trying to see whether the problem is resolved takes days of driving. In my car the stalling was so adhoc. So you think something you did fixed it cause it was fine for a day and then it would do it. The car drove fine prior to the tune. It does not after the tune. The problem surrounds what has been done. Tell him to put the original injectors and tune back in and start from scratch again. Otherwise you may chase something that is not there.
  17. I meant to have a look at that Boris before I left on that cruise night. You can come around and I will have a look at it.
  18. This tuners tune is of NO value to a subsequent tuner. With SCT a new tuner has to start from scratch anyway and I would as most tuners prefer to start from a virgin tune. Especially considering this particular tune has an issue and has had its tables raped. Who knows what he has done. Are they ID1000 injectors or 1000cc injectors bought off ebay. A new tuner is faced with questions like this and it can sometimes just end up being a big headphuck for the people who have to fix up these sorts of jobs. You deserve a full refund. Be nice but firm.
  19. The stalling will not damage anything. But it is a safety issue where it is dangerous having a vehicle that randomly stalls. I would not let anyone drive my FG until I fixed it. Also very embarrasing having a car that stalls.
  20. I've been thru this. I bought an FG that had a stalling problem (me being the third owner). The second owner of the vehicle spent $15000 on mods at a top Perth Tuning place to be left with an FG that stalled. That is the reason why he got rid of it. The tuner had a few goes in trying to fix. I saw that he played with some dashpot parameters in the tune to try to fix it but he was way off the problem. When I bought the car I rang the "top perth tuner" to try and sort the matter out. He said he thought he fixed it. He also lied to me and said the car was stalling before it was bought to him. Complete BS. He was of no help, I just saw he wanted to try to get money out of me instead of jointly trying to solve the problem. Anyway at the time I gave the tuner the benefit of the doubt cause he was " a top perth tuner" and I didn't think the tuner was the cause of the problem. I didn't want to blame someone for something that I wasn't sure of. I tracked down the service history of the vehicle and there was never an issue with stalling prior to the modifications, the first owner of the vehicle confirmed this. Nevertheless I had a tuning background, learnt HP Tuners and it was pretty clear once it was solved that it was ALL caused by what the tuner did. As I said before, your original tuner may NUT it out. But if he does not, do not be afraid to politely say that thankyou for your work, however the vehicle does stall after you tuned it. You have had a couple of goes at it with no success. Now give me a refund for the tuning work and I will let someone else have a go. The tuner may be a great guy. You did not pay for a car that stalls
  21. Its not fuel pump or spark plugs. Tuna cant look thru nothing. He either knows how to fix it at this stage or he doesn't and never will. Tell him you will give him two shots at it. Then ask for money back and go elsewhere.
  22. I would say all Tuna related. I would narrow it down to injector scalling and possibly whether the tuna put in another tune strategy that does not belong to your vehicle. They were the two problems that a Tuna phucked up on the already tuned FG that I bought. Also Fgs are sensitive in some areas, its the way it was tuned from the factory. Nevertheless get the tuna to fix it up. Tell him you want your money back cause it not acceptable to have a car stall on you. Take it somewhere else who may have more of a clue.
  23. You can't do anything anymore. I got a $200 fine the other night for doing 61kph in a 50kph zone. I never knew that if there are no speed signs, the speed limit defaults to 50KPH. So I looked it up and sure enough this law came to effect in 2001. But I was never told. Over 30kph its $800.
