Yeh i like porches but none of them really stand out to me, but the GT is insane,

The bestmotoring or topgear or whatever drive of it is pretty cool, he has the same reaction as when he was driving the 1000hp JUN Lemon 33GTR.. he basically just says "WOW, u need to be awake to drive this!"

Seen the machine, wasn't really impress at all.  

pretty much of it is about more power and more refinement, no quatumn jump in car or engine technology, or construction techniques. Also i'm not a porsche or ferrari person.

Are you serious??? Inboard suspension and a carbon fibre monocoque might be old news in F1 but this is a semi-production road car.

p.s. The pictures look like they are from Hong Kong

And after all that money, it's still a Nissan.

I'd take the Carrera GT over a R34 GTR with $800,000 worth of mods anyday.

I was lucky enough to get an invite to a recent Porsche showroom gala opening which featured a real Carrera GT on the showroom floor. A beaitifull thing, but kinda "surreal" because of it's stratosperic asking price, too expensive to aspire to I think?

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
