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

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
