my dad is looking to replace his 1984 911,

I have suggested a r34 GTR, (obviously)...

opinions for his replacement?

atm a newer 911 is on the cards, but seriously, there is little value there as far as package/performance is concerned.

what options can you suggest?

Get him to go buy a copy of Unique Cars, there should be plenty of ideas for him in there.

What kind of car does he like.... since he's currently got a 911 would it be safe to assume he wants something in a coupe, or it doesn't matter?

Because if he doesn't mind a sedan.... 90's model BMW M3/M5 or a brand spankers FPV/HSV or an STi or an Evo.....

He has driven my car (R32 GTR and considers it primitive and is unimpressed with the power delivery) so I think he is after the euro prestige and pedigree, his ultimate is the final turbo/air cooled 911 turbo as it represents the classic 911's development.

I have suggested that what he is looking for and enjoy's in a car the R34 GTR will do and be a reasonable move from his ols porsche before spending mega bucks on a late model turbo/air cooled 911.

altho the rx7 is pwnage I cant see him investing in a rotor... mind you I have mentioned NSX :stupid:

its interesting for me aswel considering I wouldnt buy a different performance car that a GTR after $60k

I've had a 911, I have an E46 M3 for a daily and that is a really great comfortable and responsive car. Good handling for track work too. I also have a R34 GTR V Spec, which is my 5th GTR. 34 GTR hoses every car i have had. The only thing i would consider buying after my GTR is a Lamborghini Murcielago or Ferrari F40 or F50. 34 GTR will hose anything if done right.

M3 for teh winnarz..........for some reason, porscher engine always sound like its falling apart when one drives pass me, never been impressed with their noise, NSX sounds hot, M3 sounds good, GTR sounds likes someone's about to such me up with a massive vacume cleaner.

How your dad probably sees it...

Porsche v's Datsun... which way would you go?

Why would he want to spend the same money on a nissan which is a family car with bits added to it to make it go fast and handle. Or a porsche which has been pretty much a benchmark for a sports/super sports car for years and years?

Because the cheeky people at "datsun" have wiped porsche's nose in it over the years. Looks like they are about to do it againt too. :O

Ok :)

But I think your missing the point of what I am saying.

You can buy a premium brand car with a proven track record, with german engineering, this that the other. Or you can buy a 'pesents' brand car which stock for stock isnt a better car, for the same money.

Put them in a race car situation its a compleatly different story, as they are different cars.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.

      I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
