Saw Evo this month - 2011 MY is 2.7 seconds to 60 (which admittedly ain't the be all/end all) is fookin impressive for a barge like that !

I have to admit for a daily drive it is astounding value for money:thumbs:

Mega value for money IMO. I got a 5k 2009 plate with Y pipe, Nismo ECU, just serviced, next service FOC too. Taxed for 8 months. 12 months warranty for £40g from Middlehurst Nissan.

With simple stage 2 they are 590 bhp, and you can reflash gearbox ECU with 2012 software to bring it up to speed.

Not much out there that does the same job for similar money for me.
Yes service intervals are 6 months, 6000 miles (but Ill sort that myself and I used to service CSL every trackday) and tyres can be expensive (1300 for toyo 888- similar cup money). Brakes can cost a few quid too, but its still remarkable value for money.

I really want a 997 turbo, but I want PDK, but only tiptronic in my budget, so thats a few years off yet.

So another GTR it is, I really shouldnt have sold the previous one, but I think you guys realise what Im like by now:gayfight:

Nice one Shane and Stu.:thumbs::thumbs:

Had a look at a GTR and was interested but didn't like the lack of serious track time due to trans temp issues, couldn't believe how quick they were as standard and loved the gearbox. Big heavy barge and like Shane has said it will eat tyres and brakes and need a service quite often this is the main reason i chose the Pork.

I bought a cheaper car because i have some plans for the car, yes it is costing as much as the car on mods if not more but will be looking at a conversion that has be timed at

3.0 sec to 60mph

6.5 sec to 100mph

200+mph

7.0 sec 60mph - 130mph

I know that the slush box isn't the best on track but i'm loving it on the roads

Will keep you updated with progress. :thumbs:

Turbo........911 or gt2

[shane@mbtech]

Turbo........911 or gt2

Judging by his slush box comment it can't be gt2 shim

Good luck with the project and keep us updated.


Who is doing the work stu, are you upgrading the auto box valve block and torque converter too?

[Bealo]

Nine excellence are doing the work, gearbox being sent to Germany for strengthening and overhaul.

[AlexGTT]

Good stuff Stu. Those boys know their turbo pork. I've had a short blast as a passenger at Brunters in one of their demo motors. Very fuckin' impressive indeed. :smokin:
