boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 8m 29d Posted 01/09/14 04:53 AM Share Posted 01/09/14 04:53 AM Guys,Anyone know what the life span of the ZF box would be under normal stock applications?I know its possibly one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions, but is there anyone that has done say 300,000KMS and their ZF is still going strong?Or possibly a taxi driver that has been through a couple of boxes and knows roughly how long they last...(granted the cabbies tend to give them a beating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA91CK billet turbos and weathered engines dont mix Donating Members 1,346 Member For: 12y 8m 26d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 01/09/14 05:56 AM Share Posted 01/09/14 05:56 AM im guessing youre looking at a high km turbo? I cant see why they wouldnt last with regular servicing, the engines have now got the rep to run for 400+ with good maintenance at stock boost. Plenty of guys starting with 200+km and modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 8m 29d Posted 01/09/14 06:15 AM Author Share Posted 01/09/14 06:15 AM I'm just thinking wether I should hold onto my second car (BF MARK II XR6T) a little longer...but its done 224,000KMS, and I'm worried it might be a time bomb with the amount of KMS its done...I don't want to start forking out cash rebuilding trannies and turbos etc...when I can use that money on a new car...I wouldn't mind holding onto it for another 12months and possibly getting a second hand FGX down the track, but I'm just not confident with the amount of KMS it's done...(just from a wear and tear perspective).From a maintenance perspective, car always runs synthetic and oil that gets changed every 7.5 to 10K KMS...transmission has been serviced etc...but I realise even with the best of maintenance things just wear out and fail after a while.

Theres a military vehicle in development at the moment that is using a hp28. To give some idea, the drivers in the army don't give a f*ck and those trucks need to have a 30 life span (eg, servicable life) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
