I've often sat there thinking about the prices of cars - most of the people I chat online with are Aussie, US, or UK, and so I generally know pretty well the price of cars in each region. But I wanted to know more, so I went through a bunch of the worldwide Porsche 997 GT2 pages to check out prices from around the world. Real eye-opening stuff!

Full article here (with links to each reference page etc):

And here's the basic stats in $AUD at current exchange rates:

$218k - US

$270k - Japan

$291k - UK

$299k - Switzerland

$316k - Germany

$319k - France

$320k - Italy

$347k - Brunei

$349k - Spain

$425k - Australia

$465k - China

On a similarish (if thats a word...) note I was in Vanuatu early last year and it was amazing how the major car manufacturers dont give a proverbial rats about safety and comfort if it isnt legislated! :down:

Try a brand new twin cab toyota hilux for example.

14 inch rims with piddly tyres

Fixed position bench seat

Non retracting seat belts

No airbags

No adjustable steering colum

Steering colum has no impact collapse

No air conditioning just a fan (just brilliant in a tropical climate driving round in the rain with fogged windscreen).

I've forgotten the full list of non existent safety and comfort accessories but the crowning balls kick is the Aus $35,000 price tag!!!

So... What you're saying is don't buy a porsche in denmark?

As far as the whacked out Denmark price goes, that is legitimate!

I've been googling and it seems Danes get taxed 180% of the car price to put a license plate on it!!!

Just google Denmark car taxes to look stuff up yourself and be amazed! :down:

That's ridiculous. I'm surprised the Dane's can afford to even drive a car.

Buy Porsche in US, smuggle it into Denmark and than sell it. Think i have just found a new career path.

LOL.. nah buy it from Switzerland, that way you don't have to put it on a ship.. you just drive to Denmark and enjoy some twisties on the way :O

I think we may have something here.......

I have relatives over in Czech, maybe i should make a few phone calls....

heres one for ya

Some time ago I was in Hawaii and while there i had to have a bit of a look at the cars there

So I noticed a Pontiac GTO which is pretty much the identical thing as our Monaro

Now here CV8 Monaros were selling for what 50 or 60 grand ish....Over there brand new Pontiac GTO in dealer yard going for $34000 US...Amazing when you think heres a car thats originally built in Australia,exported to the US and still sells a hell of a lot cheaper than here..We get ripped off here for many things..acohol also...Bottle of Malibu here sells for about $30 ish...over there $17 and I am told its even cheaper away from all the tourist areas....

    • Haven’t had the chance to drive it yet with work being a nightmare, will definitely be doing that at some point this week. got these so that grip won’t be an issue at roll racing  
    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
