Thought Best Motoring had a similar test in the past (911 turbo vs tuned GTR) Any idea how much a Mines GTR costs? Not 200,000 euros I'm sure!

I've heard AUS200k, but don't know for sure.

The Techart 997 is a beautiful car!

If you want to compare a factory car to a factory car then compare the new GT-R to this: http://www.ruf-automobile.de/content.php?s...=&details=1

I belive that ruff is an aftermarket tuner so that would mean that comparing that car to a standard nissan GTR would not really be a fair comparison.

Incorrect, Ruf is actually an independent car maker who builds complete new cars from bare chassis(based on Porsches).

RUF Automobile GmbH is a producer of high-performance vehicles, specializing in manufacturing new RUF automobiles completely from the bare chassis, conversions to RUF specification and the performance enhancement / refinement of Porsche cars.

Unlike TechArt, speedArt or Hamann, they are aftermarket tunners for Porsche cars.

RUF sells complete new cars with warranty, like these:http://www.ruf-automobile.de/content.php?seite=seiten/modelle_neuwagen.php

I do like this porsche, what are its specs?

The body modifications looks more integrated than the TechArt 997, which looks more like add-ons if you know what i mean.

im much more into the hamann porsche really

As said above RUF is an independent manufacturer, not an aftermarket tuner despite them selling aftermarket parts.

The Hamann 997 is very nice, I'm a big fan.

200K euro = $334k AUS.

This Mines built R34 actually sold for less than $150k recently I believe?

dunno how much it sold for, is over east (the one that everyone knows that scared the shit outta those japanese rivers) but it was in autosalon a while back and mines had spent over $300k on it.

there ya go :P

ive driven a 997 turbo

they dont drive like a turbo and are progressive in the way they make power

i booted it through 1st 2nd and 3rd looked down a realised i was doing 199km/h

its gets there so smooth and doesnt feel like ur doing those speeds

best way to descibe it is it feels like a fast n/a car

its not that they r tiny

they have are useing veriable pitch on the turbine blades

coz a tiny turbo will chock the top end and believe me there was no chocking in the top end

also as an interesting point there r no waste gates in a 997 turbo at all

Interesting how 334k AUD would only buy you a standard 911 turbo in Australia!

actually... you can get a brand spankin GT3 RS for a smidgen under $300k i believe.

yeah but the turbo is more expensive then the gt3

and there will only be 25 gt3 rs's in aus and they arnt in the country yet but there all sold

also as an interesting point there r no waste gates in a 997 turbo at all

yeah these variable geometry turbos use a set of vanes in the exhaust housing to maintain a constant gas speed across the turbine, and the vanes are controlled by a membrane identical to the one on a wastegate so no wastegates needed.

this is also the reason for they have minimal lag not because they are small.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
