I'd go 996 easily out of those. E92 looks good on the outside but has pretty much no balls compared to the other cars, M3 has a decent motor but looks like shit and every obnoxious little asian woman who scraped together $20k for an e46 320i will think that her BMW is better than the M3...

RS4 is good, but they don't look aesthetically good. TTS is an amazing car, i'd put it performance wise better than most non turbo 996's and on the track it feels like it can keep up with an M3, they just handle awesome. Too bad they look like a girls car still. 996 is a good all round car.

I'd go for this for the money....

Or a C63

I'd rather build something that would beat any of these expensive cars for a fraction of the cost but that's just me. This thread was for votes/opinions, I gave mine.

You can polish a turd but it's still a turd. To build up a car that would compete with the calibre of car we are talking about would probably cost a fair bit more than the 70-100k budget stated. Building something that is fast, reliable, comfortable and looks good is not easy especially if you're going to start with a sub 30k car.

Out of those 3 i'd have the C63 all the way, i saw one in person and god does it sound good. Its a Merc which means a nice interior and good ride comfort and with that AMG V8 you can blast down the road into the sunset :cool: and make all those people in clubby's and GT falcons feel stupid that their V8 are so inadequate.

I think you missed what the thread is about.... he can build a quick r32 gtr, but it is still in the dark ages, it's quick.... that is about it. You are not getting the comfort, the stability, the reliability, the drivability, higher insurance, defects galor, unable to use as a daily driver ect....

Anyone can build anything to be quick, but these prestige cars can do the speeds of a gtr and also come with heaps of added extras that you are not likely to be able to or be bothered to put in them. All comes down to what you want in a car, and if you are looking at Rs4's and 911's, frankly an r32 gtr is not what you would be after at all.

If you want something genuinely quick, then buy a bike, other than that you have no idea what speed is...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
