Too much rum on your weetbix Roy. :yes:

I was fortunate enough to have a friend take me for a brief drive in a 997 Turbo. Honestly, dont care if the GTR is quicker, one looks great ... one looksy fugly. And just sitting in the Porsche is cool and even though its awd still needs to be driven, albeit less finesses is required then for say the GT2.

The GTR is just a Datsun whose styling loses out to a Hyundai Tiburon :D Ok its fast but .... and looking at that Vid, again sure its quick but looks so dettached and boring to drive. A car for the Playstation generation where at least the Porka seems to still be rather involving to drive. (From what i can tell in the vids...as i have never driven either so am talking out my ass ;) )

I've driven a few porkas Roy in circumstances that would hardly scare even granny . I havnt and most likely wont drive a 35 gtr but when i see a car perform so effortlessly i can not help but be impressed.

I can only imagine where the fineline is crossed in the gtr to make it as unstable and as much a handfull as the porka.

I do wonder at the way the porsche was set up, It is my understanding that the rear engined car is generally more tail happy than the yellow beast in the video. It begs the question, Did the powers that be set the car up in the knowledge that journos with varying skill levels would be driving it, Understeer is easier and more instinctive to bail out of than oversteer.

As for street creds, Sure, the porka has it in spades. However I do believe the 35 has already narrowed the gap and will only continue to add to its kudos courtesy of videos like this one.

i'd like to see a comparisson between the gtr and the 911 gt2. the gt2 is about 200kg lighter than the turbo due to it only being rwd. i also think that if they had left the traction control on in the 911 they would've got a quicker time.

i also noticed that they ran the gtr on an empty tank too.

I used to work for a porsche dealer and was lucky enough to drive anything and everything that has a porsche badge on it.

Some of them are just piles of shit but as for the 911 TT....awesome. GT3 so much fun!!! The GT2 is still my fave tho.

For the price of them tho, they should be damn good too...

If i had the money for a 911 turbo or a R35.... Id spend it all tracking down and buyin a Z-tune R34! :thumbsup:

Top Gear and the Stig to see if how quick it is. Then Fifth Gear and Tiff as i agree 99 times out of 100 on what he says makes a good car. If he gets out of the heavy automatic beast and says its really fun to drive and doesnt drive like an EVO then i will maybe change my tune on the car. Not that it matters i will never own one :D There is a 89 Carrera 4 dressed up in 72 RS body and colours for sale at the moment. I am itching to buy it :)

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
