Whats done to it... very nice 34...

I can only compare it as being a passenger, but to me the porsche's handling felt so crisp and responsive. Compared to the gtr its hard to say as I didnt drive the thing but unmodified in any way the porsche just changed directions with ease with no body roll whatsoever. Compared to the gtr if it were stock you have to upgrade the suspension to make it feel like that. The brakes on the thing were awesome. I think there the same size as the gtr but the porsche weighing around 250-300kg less makes u huge difference in stoping power. Power delivery is on a different level being a 3.6 litre. There is so much grunt down low that it just pulls you hard than at around 3k revs its even harder. There is hardly any transition onto boost, just a feeling that you know it is on by how much harder its just pushed you into your seat. Owner said he ran a 12.4 stock. The only thing I didn't like about the porsche is that its so quite but thats an easy fix with a exhaust and some induction mods. Apart from that in my opinion you don't need to touch it whereas the gtr you have to spend a bit of money to get it to that level. 300kw in the gtr, a good set of coilovers, sway bars and brakes and you will out do the porsche. Pretty much were im at now with the brakes on there way:) at this level there really isn't much the gtr cant play with

Drive a 993 turbo they were the best of the lot, we modified one and got 320kw at all 4 (didnt want the lag being a circuit car) and it was just insane.

If one came up at the right price I'd sell both my cars to own it

yep marko summed it up perfectly 'built to be fast'. The gtr can do what the porsche can and may even do it better but you need to spend big bucks on the gtr to be able to do it reliably.

Brett you probably wouldnt lose buying a 993. They been floating around the same price for years and will probably go up in value in years to come.

Did it take much to get 320kw out of it?

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
