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

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
