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):

$291k - UK

$299k - Switzerland

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....

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
