It'd be more than that.... hell, $8000 would get me a new car (CA18DET 180sx...would do...), and every round after the first, would be a few horsepower more to that 180sx....

I know what i'd prefer to do.... Even if it is a porsche, it only lasts so long...and its a race car, worth over $400 000....with 250RWKW or something.... Ahh, screw it, it'd be my only chance to ever drive one....It'd be worth doing for any revhead.. If i had the money to do it, then hell yeah, i'd do it...but right now i'm on new car savings budget

I'd love to be driving it at Phillip Island...that would be awesome there....If ya do do it, let everyone now and try and get all the sydney guys on here to rock up and play pit crew....

It is "only" about $240,000... also 280kW@crank and 1200kg (wet) from relatively accurate memory.

i actually believe it was over 300kw at the crack, with a power to weight ration of

211kw/tonne.....either way, its a beast - and thats the street version

and i do believe its a supercup car, as in Jim Richards bought one, ready to race, and it costs AU$400,000... it is not a a street car, and has more horsepower (yes, they got free horsepower, and turned up the boost), ride is better, stiffer, comes with the super flashy light weight wheels.. well, you get the drift, its a REAL racecar....

You have got yourself a bit muddled up, I think you are talking about Jim Richards' Targa Tasmania 911 Turbo which was in Motor Magazine a while ago, that is just a hotted up road car.

The car in the ad is a Supercup car which has 287KW power, weighs 1150 kg and costs a touch under $250k from your friendly Porsche dealer.

For about $400k you could get a 911 GT3 RS which has 320 kW (435 BHP) at 8,250 rpm with 2 x 30.8 mm dia. restrictors

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
