FG GT335.. Tuned!

by **OMY-747** » August 10th, 2012, 3:52 pm

Such a nice car man. Exactly what I want some day, but I want a white one

by **Trav199** » August 12th, 2012, 3:58 pm

hey mate im looking at same springs for my g6et.. what are they like compared to standard ride wise?

by **Parfrey** » June 25th, 2013, 12:58 am

Getting closer to doing something with this beast, purchased some genuine ZF oil and a filter kit to do a change/flush on the weekend. Ended up with a 20l drum cause they didn't have enough in 1l bottles.. got it for a good price but its still overpriced!
Hoping to do a few mods and get it tuned in the next few months. not sure how the auto will go as the car has almost 160k on it now but I'll give it a shot!

Oh I fitted an LSD out of a F6 a while back, waaay better to drive now. Also did super pro diff bushes at the same time.
Wouldn't mind giving the rest of the bushes a check/replace a few when I get the chance too.
:cool:

Nice work.

Does the TC & VSC still work fine with the LSD? The factory program brakes the loose wheel to try and get traction to the other side - this would be unneeded with an LSD.

Would love to drive one with an LSD!

nice car mate, love the plates too!

by **Parfrey** » June 26th, 2013, 12:48 am

Cheers

Yeah it all works fine, I normally turn it off anyway. It would be just the same as driving an XR6T I guess.

Spose I better update this...
I was getting closer to modding this beast in between building a diesel Patrol ute, moving house and now expecting my first child..... But I found a new toy for the right price and convinced my self I needed it :grin:

(didn't take much convincing!)

2010 FG GT 335
Its an auto with leather, 40,000km.. Awesome car!! Always wanted a GT :grin:

So next on the agenda is to get the G6 ready to sell over xmas and go from there

by **nstg8a** » December 15th, 2013, 10:47 pm

Now that's an upgrade! :drinks2:

by **DJV8T5** » December 16th, 2013, 7:36 am

random (but awesome) upgrade. I love the look of the GTs, always look tough. Congrats on expecting too, there isn't really something that feels like having your own kid

by **BLKPHN** » December 16th, 2013, 10:01 am

Awesome! Very Nice

by **galapogos01** » December 16th, 2013, 10:44 am

Fuark yeah! Looks awesome, need more pics! Very jealous mate.

by **Parfrey** » December 17th, 2013, 1:07 pm

Thanks guys! I'll grab some more pics over the weekend!

Yeah thats it exciting + busy times ahead so I thought I'd make the most of it now 8-)

by **EBOOST** » December 17th, 2013, 5:32 pm

Very nice.

What will you be asking for the g6e?
How does it feel compared to the g6e?

by **Parfrey** » December 17th, 2013, 11:39 pm : **EBOOST Likes this post**

Probably start around 20k and see if I have any interest.

Unfortunately I haven't spent much time in it yet cos its booked in for rego on Thursday... its killing me haha.
But anyway it feels fresher (as it should with 40k on it), suspension and ride are definitely nicer. The engine is a lot more responsive, as soon as you put your foot into it your going! (and fg turbo's aren't exactly laggy). Its quicker by a fair bit too.. just keeps pulling up top, and sounds awesome for a stock setup!
Hate to sound like a tool but there's just something about a GT.. even tho the G6ET is better value and a great car with heaps of potential, I always wanted something else!

by **BLKPHN** » December 18th, 2013, 12:08 pm

I want your G6E wheels and LSD!!

I too, want the wheels and lsd...

Congrats on the gt. It looks great.

You can have the wheels and LSD.. if you buy the whole car ;-)

That's a pretty decent plate! FPV 077 (its number 77) is available but at $455 I'll give it a miss lol. 'abc123' style plates used to be cheap as... once again vicroads are cashing in! I think I'll put my BQQST plates on it anyway :cool:

by **EFFalcon** » December 19th, 2013, 7:26 am

Hmmm... i'm tempted to get those plates for my GT Ev

by **ClassicAU** » December 19th, 2013, 7:48 am

I was going to put those plates on my red XR8, but at the time they were twice as expensive as the EJB plates I got instead. As Parf said though, that is no longer the case as the re-issue plates have gone up. I squashed one of my current plates the other day, and Vic Roads want's $130 for a replacement! :banghead:

Anyway, such a sweet upgrade!! Congrats man!! Personally I'd have gone a manual GS for the extra sleeper look, but no criticism at all, the GT is an epic beast! Nice colour combo! :thumbsup:

by **apoc** » December 19th, 2013, 7:51 am

I think Vicroads have gone to a new numbering system, dads xg ute (just registered last week) has the plates '1FX-1CD' or something like that.
So maybe abc123 plates count as custom now?

by **SnipeZ** » December 19th, 2013, 9:39 am

Can get black issue plates with white lettering still
Starts as aaa-000
Bosses vl got aah-xxx
New plates are aids.

by **private9** » December 19th, 2013, 2:05 pm

Nice GT mate, congrats!
Is this one staying stock?

by **Parfrey** » December 19th, 2013, 9:59 pm

If I can afford a few mods I'll do some later down the track :grin:

Tune, Exhaust and lower it a little would be a nice start haha.

I got rego today and put the BQQST plates on so now it stands out even more! Just went for a spin in it again and it goes pretty bloody well for standard.. can't wait for a cold night to test it out!

Ev I previously wanted a GS but they are a bit lacking unless fully optioned and still missing brembo's.. plus this was basically GS money so I had to have it lol. Manual would have been nice tho.

by **DJV8T5** » December 20th, 2013, 6:20 am

you get/make some mad cars. So jealous. Need more pics of GT & G6ET together

by **Saremon** » April 3rd, 2014, 3:48 pm

Really a beautiful car with awesome color combination!

Took the GT into Bluepower yesterday for a tune, Chris and Theo once again did a great job.... The car reeled off 302rwkw standard (with a K+N that prob does nothing) and then drove out with 376rwkw! (505rwhp)

Pretty happy with that! It is similar to drive just has more power and response everywhere, wheel spins more and sounds better haha. Blower whine is louder and the exhaust burble slowing down is mint!

by **ed40** » April 18th, 2014, 12:46 pm

tune only 505rwhp. win.

by **apoc** » April 18th, 2014, 1:29 pm

Damn it, you're making me want to get a tune. Some better responsiveness would improve what is already pretty epic haha. Does yours have an exhaust or anything apart from the K&N?

by **justa6** » April 18th, 2014, 3:49 pm

That's awesome.

by **falcon4life** » April 18th, 2014, 5:55 pm

25% power increase with a tune... That's why I love the 5 litre, I bet your rear tyres are hating life now

by **Parfrey** » April 18th, 2014, 6:34 pm

Yeah they are an epic engine. I don't think there is another car out there that will gain this much from a tune alone.

Its all standard apart from the K+N air filter and exhaust flap not connected (only for sound).

It also still has the stock ignition timing in it so its a nice safe tune hardly pushing it. Chris showed me a few things that will show and make more power on the dyno... more rpm, leaner, more timing.. all of which is possible to do but isn't ideal for a daily driver that I want to last. The limiter was raised 200rpm (to 6400), heaps of manual cars are turning to 7000 and they keep making power but obviously more rpm isn't always the best thing in the long run!

by **Rollin** » April 18th, 2014, 8:01 pm

505rwhp.

Fucking hell.

These motors are incredible.

by **nstg8a** » April 18th, 2014, 9:40 pm

When the n/a version is 300+ then ford slaps a blower on and supposedly only makes another 30 odd kw you know that's one mild mild tune lol.

God I wish I could afford one

by **apoc** » April 18th, 2014, 10:11 pm

Enter raffles man. Works good

by **EBOOST** » April 19th, 2014, 12:58 pm

Insane, has the g6e gone now?

Taking it to the drags or anything?

by **Parfrey** » April 20th, 2014, 12:37 pm

Yeah sold it, would love to go to the drags but I think I'll run out of time, the little bloke is going to pop out in a few weeks and I'll have my hands full for a while lol.
Plus I can't afford to break it just yet cos my patrol is quickly using up the rest of my money
