XFute-1JZsoarer 140 Posted April 23, 2014 I just got back from our local wreckers, been avoiding them after they jacked the price up 3 times on some hoses I got from them a little while back (because he didn't realize how intricate the hose actually was... Damn euro cars!) . Anywayz, they have a 88 EA Falcon wagon with a factory fitted T5 and it still has the crossmember in it, can anyone confirm if this will fit my 88 XF ute? It's the right shape looking from under the side, but as the cars sitting on flat tyres, and I'm out bush so snakes are a bit of a concern, I couldn't see if the width was right. Fella said I can take it for $44 so I'm hoping I've scored myself another little bargain. Appreciate any info that anyone can give to shed a bit of light on the subject. Thanks guys.

XFute-1JZsoarer 140 Posted April 24, 2014 Hey guys, just some info for future reference, early EA T5 crossmember is a perfect fit in the XF, got mine today and it works a charm! Thanks for the help Gaz, really appreciated mate. Cheers Jay. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XFute-1JZsoarer 140 Posted April 24, 2014 Nah they don't mate, even the XG one is a total bust, wrong shape, wrong width. The wider one is XF auto, other one is XG manual 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dizzy616 183 Posted April 28, 2014 just because xg is basicly a revised xf. doesn't mean everythings going to fitbut most things will. still find it strange how ea fits and xg dont. but considering same engine and combinations. learn something new everyday. 1 XFute-1JZsoarer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XFute-1JZsoarer 140 Posted April 30, 2014 just because xg is basicly a revised xf. doesn't mean everythings going to fit but most things will. Your spot on there bud, so many people on those damn Facebook pages will still argue black and blue that it's all a straight swap, and then throw on the "I've done heaps of these swaps" or "I've been doing them for years" lines...9 times out of 10, the ones using those lines are using info (retyped word for word sometimes) I've seen on Facebook already, or off another forum. So called keyboard experts... I'd bet they're responsible for many projects being given up on due to their shitty advice/info. Thank f#€k for OzFalcon!
