My White 50Th G6Et Sleeper

As XF Falcon has said, overboost protection, great peace of mind insurance and definately a worthwhile mod.

My old wheels weren't going to fit over my new brakes, to be honest I like my new ones better and somewhat more unique.

Those wheels look great, this car is definately the ultimate Qship!

The ride height looks awesome. Any scraping, bottoming out, speed humps etc? Stupid question? I'm about to do mine and cant decide which way to go. I have three kids in the back reguarlly.

Haven't had any scraping on any speed humps so far, doesn't bottom out(got shortened bumpstops on rear). The only thing that hits anything is the rear flange on the cat in my 3.5" force scrapes sometimes on the kerb entry to my drive when reversing(but depends on load and angle). This point is the lowest by 10-20mm but is still 100mm to ground making it legal. Even loaded it doesn't drop much as it is just behind the front wheels, if anything with a very heavy load it slightly rises.

Had to get rid of my mudsplats though, they did scrap on speed humps.

My bad, I meant it would be nice to get some proper photos done.

From Victoria myself but not so keen on the 2+ day road trip surely some members here in Perth who can take some decent snaps.

A minor update,

I have had a Pocess West Surge tank fitted recently for extra peace of mind. Read on here and other forums that fuel surge becomes an issue when the tank gets to around 1/4(or even up to 1/2). Seemed a easy choice to allow me to run fuel down to the low fuel light safely and get the full range out of my tank. I also don't drive the car much so I prefer to leave only a small amount of fuel in the tank as I've heard it can go bad rather fast.

Had a tune touch up to allow for the slightly higher fuel pressure, also minor adjustments made for cold starts and cold driving until up to temp. Boys at MT said it would improve fuel economy no end overall especially as I do a lot of short stop/start trips.

Also had the turbo pipes modified to plumb back the factory BOV(had it vented to ATMO for while after the Nizpro overboost was fitted) now it's nice and quiet very little induction or futter noises just the turbo spooling which is still not overly loud. Only real noise is when I really open up the throttle and the exhaust starts to work. Other than that very quiet cruising and even giving it a bit through the midrange stays fairly quiet.

Pretty happy with the final result now, I have 300rwkw which is very safe both tune and mechanically wise. Also I think I have achieved a nice compromise with a street tuned car that goes well, can stop easily and handle quiet well for a big saloon but still retain that luxury feel and comfort of the G6E. And with just a few minor setup changes could easily go around a track or down the strip if I so choose to do so later on.

Couple of new pics and one of the "factory looking engine bay".
