Whats done to it... very nice 34...

I can only compare it as being a passenger, but to me the porsche's handling felt so crisp and responsive. Compared to the gtr its hard to say as I didnt drive the thing but unmodified in any way the porsche just changed directions with ease with no body roll whatsoever. Compared to the gtr if it were stock you have to upgrade the suspension to make it feel like that. The brakes on the thing were awesome. I think there the same size as the gtr but the porsche weighing around 250-300kg less makes u huge difference in stoping power. Power delivery is on a different level being a 3.6 litre. There is so much grunt down low that it just pulls you hard than at around 3k revs its even harder. There is hardly any transition onto boost, just a feeling that you know it is on by how much harder its just pushed you into your seat. Owner said he ran a 12.4 stock. The only thing I didn't like about the porsche is that its so quite but thats an easy fix with a exhaust and some induction mods. Apart from that in my opinion you don't need to touch it whereas the gtr you have to spend a bit of money to get it to that level. 300kw in the gtr, a good set of coilovers, sway bars and brakes and you will out do the porsche. Pretty much were im at now with the brakes on there way:) at this level there really isn't much the gtr cant play with

Drive a 993 turbo they were the best of the lot, we modified one and got 320kw at all 4 (didnt want the lag being a circuit car) and it was just insane.

If one came up at the right price I'd sell both my cars to own it

yep marko summed it up perfectly 'built to be fast'. The gtr can do what the porsche can and may even do it better but you need to spend big bucks on the gtr to be able to do it reliably.

Brett you probably wouldnt lose buying a 993. They been floating around the same price for years and will probably go up in value in years to come.

Did it take much to get 320kw out of it?

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
