Going Crazy On A G6Et... Build.

[G6ET8U]

I suppose it does come down to the old saying 'There is more than 1 way to skin a cat' and something as technical and complicated as the ZF I would think that there wouldn't be a hard and fast rule with how to modify them. It will also come down to where and how the failures previously seen on cars they have tuned have come from. Add in the next variable, the ZF tune it self and you open up another pandora's box of avenues for failure lol

Just guessing that some may see it as worth the time where as others think the time/money is better spent elsewhere even more honestly some maybe haven't even thought about how to modify it for increased performance.

As the consumer, you and I and everyone else that has one of these boxes is still confused a lot by the walls of magic, capes, smoke and mirrors that surrounds the ZF. I'm not sure if you are a member of AFF but there is a great thread and brilliant read in the Performance section (turbo 6's) about ZF's. The guy who makes the Nizpro Input Shafts for Nizpro has a lot to say but better than that it's backed up with heaps of facts and picture evidence.

It started out asking questions about input shafts and breakages and then it got really interesting with heaps of technical information too!

Ive been banned off aff close to 20 times now

Yeh look as far as it stands niz,xft,cms,bta are at the fore front of zf technology and its hard to believe that its still new technology but its roll the dice and pick a place because any or either of the ones mentioned are proven to be the goods

I just like the xft warranty and the fact its only $2999 for a build plus freight

[G6ET8U]

Ah... ok lol

It is exactly that... kind of like picking a footy team mate. I know having spoken to Dave at Nizpro about it and he freely admitted that they were fortunate to get a couple of customers in with no fear of potentially breaking their car to improve performance and chase a goal. It can then be beneficial for both the shop and the owner too. Sharing of costs etc but the results will come it then comes down to having the correct industry contacts to make the parts from the right materials, as cost effectively as you can and then go from there and see what it takes to break that one lol then try all over again!

cheers jack, fk nearly 20 pages of reading to do, daymm. lol

not a bad price jet, what actually do you get for your money?

[JETURBO]

Fully built zf but no input or intermediate shafts ( just stock ones fitted)

And a warranty to be good for 500rwkw if u use transmax z

[GTEXXED]

So XFT don't address the weak areas but then rate the box to 500rwkw......get that warranty in fine print Jet and see if it covers track work where they will break 9/10.3k is the price of a built 4 speed without convertor so not sure how good a trans with 6 gears fairs strength wise with 3k thrown at it and that's including labor.

When I spoke with simon approx 8months ago he was fairly confidiant of his boxes ability but we all know those two weak points very well now

Both bosko,wayne had his built box and they didnt have any issues but they also didnt really drag them so yeh hard to say how long it would of lasted

[GTEXXED]

I wouldn't expect Simon to say he doesn't have the confidence in his products,you know what I mean.

Remember the old saying....."You went to a place that told you something ya liked at a price you could afford or only wanted to pay"

Without those parts it ain't a proper built box imo.

So he had all that power and never raced it.....bloody marshmallow!
