If You Could... Porsche Or Gtr


Recommended Posts

For those who have never been to Tokyo, this is defintely a city for 911's. The ones who can afford them obsolutely love them and you can pretty much find them all day long.

A Porsche guy came into our office yesterday to pick up my bosses car for its 1st service informed us of something interesting. At his dealership alone, 5 of his customers traded in their 911 GT2's and GT3's for the new GTR. :/

After a few months, they all switched back. :/ When asked why, they said after you the thrill of the straightline accelaration and hype goes out, they prefer the Porsche which I can understand. He also mentioned that the new PDK transmissions are not that good.

Just thought I would share this with you guys.

Im sure thats what the Porsche owners are saying as well. Personally I have owned many Nissan models including GTR although not the 35 and would probably go 911 as well. I mean just look at that front end and the built is so much more better compared to the Nissan.

Reliability is the key. I think we all know that 911’s can take redline punishment day after day and year after year and they just laugh right back at you! The question is can the GT-R handle this same kind of punishment and perform just as well? Only time will tell!

well obviously they prefer the porsche... otherwise they wouldnt go back to it. But, why do they prefer the porsche?

Because Ive owned many Nissans including GTR, although not the 35 which I contemplated buying before getting my 6 series. Also I have easy access to the 35 here in Japan and my boss owns a Porsche.

The biggest 2 difference for me is the quality and at the end of the day knowing that its only a Nissan which anyone can buy. But thats is after living in Japan for 4 years. Unlike when I was in Australia, I see a GTR now and I dont even take much notice honestly. :D

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
