    I would not recommend the one with the built-in stopper. It's got so much flex/leverage that I doubt it actually does much as a booster brace. From my personal observations anyway. I'd rather go two separate components. Massive +1 for the rear bottom underbody brace with integrated swaybars supports.

    Yep

    Lol it's a diesel

    Fixed now, something weird happened

    Do not know if euros are welcome

    Stock M-Sport is the same as below - round, leather and a black insert as opposed to CF. Was a bit of a surprise to find out that the airbag is only held by a retainer spring, not bolts. Basically just clips into place.

    Scored myself this puppy 😎 Brand spanking new at a sweet as price ☺️

    Seen that one in person, stationary and in action. Sounds hideous, to my liking anyway. Way too loud and raspy.

    Not sure if I am reading your post correctly but the one in that thread has washers?.. Also I am 99% positive that the car in question is also a Spec.B. ...and a standard grille as opposed to JDM honeycomb.

    And further to the above, DOM of your car is 01.02.2007

    What you have is a NZ new GT. Hence 2.5L as opposed to 2.0L JDM. All NZ/AUDM models with HID headlights were equipped with the headlight washers, due to euro specs/requirements I believe. Were mostly upspec'd hence the sunroof, I'd hazard a guess and say that it also has a McIntosh system and black leather but non-foldable mirrors and non-alloy control arms. You'd struggle to find a typical JDM chassis number on this... B4 = sedan GT = wagon

    No difference in suspension set-up between revs A-E.

    Urban selection series perhaps? Nothing extraordinary in this department though. Push start/keyless entry was introduced in MY08, shifters even earlier in MY06.

    There are two O2 sensors, are you sure you're replacing the right one? OEM ones are made by Denso, look up up the corresponding Denso part number and order one of those, significantly cheaper than OEM, direct fitment and everything. I had to order one a few years back, the cheapest Denso sensor I could source was from the UK actually.

    Correct me if I'm wrong by RSK is just a turbo B4 (JDM designation), K stands for a Kompressor in German . Same as GT-B in a wagon form. The trim bits you're referring to are just optional part numbers. You'd need a fair bit of luck finding a complete bumper with all three bits still attached.

    GT as well.

    Thinking of sanblasting some calipers - who's a trusted reasonably priced go-to in Auckland and how much should I expect to pay for a full set to be blasted? Thinking of restoring the Brembles myself and then selling for a $$$ instead of asking for a $ in their current state. People seem to be too lazy to pay less and re-paint themselves.

    2.5i have CVT transmission, having some known service history will be beneficial. Do not expect it to be super economical. Some come well specd will keyless access, steering wheel controls/cruise control etc. Others can be complete poverty spec.
  20. sobanoodle
    2.5i or GT?
  21. sobanoodle
    MY2006 Blitzen

    Drivetrain is no different to any other GT of the same era (4th gen BL/BP 06/2003 - 06/2008) - i.e a single turbo. Porsche Design were involved with the exterior, again nothing to do with the drivetrain. Post some pics for us. Some JDM catalogue goodness MY2005 Blitzen
  23. sobanoodle
    Test-drove a Porsche diesel. Unimpressed and somewhat disappointed.

    What you get when you buy XForce 3.0R do get very droney if opened up too much. You need a decent resonator in there, or beefier mufflers.

    Redline used to (or still) sell HKS and XForce to suit. I had Fujitsubo and HKS systems installed on my BR. Fujitsubo was loud and droney, HKS was sweet as. Hardly ever anything used comes for sale as these are fairly new and do not get modified as much as the previous generation.
