Hey Guys,

I've recently just raced this guy in his stock 2008/9 Porsche Carrera S.... he told me it was a 3.8 flat six

and 'auto'.

But yeah I was just wondering how i ended up beating this guy over this 400m /ish track from standstill??

By time i got to the end and was braking, i was roughly about 2-3car lengths infront... I mean he was giving his Porsche a good

going, i head it behind me.. and it chirping as it changed gears from 1-2 and even 3rd?!

'also note.. this was all done in a controlled enviro too,'

p.s admin if this needs to be moved/removed please do 'so sorry in advance'

Clearly granny shifting and not double clutching like he should........

Ahhh double clutching, incredibly important, especially with todays synchro gear boxes. And you just can not stress enough how important it is to double clutch in an auto or tip-tronic car, absolutely vital.

Lol, i love fast and furious dramatism

350 - 375 hp at the crank,

less 30% loss pf power between crank and rear wheels, a bit more for the AWDs.

I was talking KW's.

I think the Carrera has a viscous diff also?

HAHAHA! Beat me to it ;) Probably blew the welds on his intake manifold?

Carerra S would win hands down on this one. Problem is, guy either doesn't know how to drive it or is affraid to drive it to it's full potential.

There is one other thing to take into account here guys....

what was the road surface like? if rough with stiff springs then he would not get great traction and not use the power...

was the road slightly wet? near oil at all?

tyres any good?

there is too much to say who and why someone would win... i have beaten supercharged big blocks to peoples surprose purely down to traction issues with too much power for the road we were on...

In controlled conditions, not on public roads of course? :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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.
