Porsche Owner's Voice

GT3 / GT4

[1] In early May.Over 10,000 km, one year point detection found minor oil leakage.I am currently in the hospital and will be discharged in July, can't wait to get back in operation. Your husband's vehicle seems to be non-troubled and I envy you.(Mr. GT3 Touring Package with almost the same specifications)

2] GT3 Touring Package, I'm in love with it. at least once in my lifeI really wanted a new 911 left-H and MT, and I am currently driving a parallel-imported 991 Carrera T!but I would like to return to NA or air-cooled one day.
It was originally registered in Kobe, but due to my work, I usually keep it in Tokyo, and it is difficult to drive it as much as I want because of the limited or distant locations. I hope to meet you in Ashiari someday and say hello.(TJ)

3] My GT4 was scheduled for production as soon as the factory reopened.(as of May 11, 2020)The delay was just about the duration of the stop.If the factory is able to operate at full capacity, cars will be delivered in the fall or so.Is it?
It's taken exactly one year from reservation to production, and this is the first time I've experienced such a hold-up, since the M3 was about six months. I feel a little tired of waiting, but...(Nak)

Purchase of your car

[4] I wanted a Ferrari, but I said to myself, "I want a Ferrari.because I've saved up some money.I bought an Alfa Romeo 4C when I was 26, compromising because it was "the best car I've ever owned". However, recently I still want a Ferrari, and this blog has encouraged me to start taking action, albeit a little. I sometimes go to Ashiu Driveway, so if you meet me, please let me know.(shuhei)

5]"Earn money" It's important. As a self-employed person, I was losing motivation to work in Corona, and all I could think about was keeping my expenses down rather than moving poorly. "labourI feel that the feeling of "I am a good person" had become rare.
As a husband, earn first!　I buy two Porsches to regain my family's trust and comfort. （My wife's favorite is a 964. First of all, we have to earn money. And don't forget to get a gift for my daughter.
The more specific the reward after the achievement, the more motivated I am. When I get the results, I will take a picture in Ashiari and apply to have my car published, thank you.(TARO)

→After taro.
Today, Father's Day, my family of three went to Nagoya to see the car and decided on it. We had a meeting before the delivery of the car, and we lost time to go to Legoland, but we will have a lot of laughter in our house, won't we?(TARO)

6] I have been reading your blog from time to time. I was so fascinated by your blog and the charm of Porsche that I just bought a used Panamera a few days ago and I'm getting more and more addicted to Porsche.（PIOSHION

[7]This articleI was also moved by the BecauseI wanted to buy a Porsche because I wanted to start my own business.It would have been nice and easy to have someone buy it for me, but I didn't have anyone around to buy it for me. LOL!
With the Corona situation, my business is not as good as it could be, and it's hard to keep my Porsche...I drove my Panamera to work today and I knew I had to go for it!
We must always stay positive, be grateful for each day, and move forward, one step at a time! Reading your blog reminded me of those feelings! Thank you very much.(Gori)

8] I saw a Porsche 928 for the first time when I was in the second grade of junior high school and was shocked by its UFO-like shape, and although I wanted to drive a Porsche someday, I became an office worker, had a child, bought a house, started my own business, and was so busy with my daily life that I forgot that I even wanted a Porsche. I was so busy with my daily life that I forgot that I even wanted a Porsche.
In.I happened to visit the Porsche Center while considering a change from my 12 year old BMW3 Coupe to a family car, and for some reason, I signed a contract for a 911.I was doing it.　You're an idiot.
I had forgotten that I had wanted a Porsche for 20 or 30 years, but now I think it may have been destined to happen. I know there are many types of people out there, but the thing or thing that you have wanted subconsciously may be something that you naturally get when the timing is right...(matt_6348)

[9] I'm always happy to just take a look.See the article here.I couldn't resist the urge to comment, lol.
Because, you know, I'm a young man, I'm 33 years old.Since I got my license at the age of 18, I have driven about 15 cars.We still own four cars. We even took delivery of a Panamera Sport Turismo GTS the other day!

I was influenced a lot by my father, but, as your husband said, I like to run.The car life of the succession of cars, with the sales person in charge telling me not to drive any further after having driven a certain distance.It is. LOL.
I am sure that there are many men like you who would like to be watched over, and I look forward to more enlightening articles with a woman's perspective!(nikky)

Car seats

[10Seat selection is very difficult.Right?The 981 Spyder's sport bucket is hard to get in and out of, and too hard for city driving, but on a road with a series of curves, it has the best hold and is very comfortable!It is.
The French ds7 I use as a foot is soft and comfortable itself, but in curves it takes my body from side to side in a spectacular way. The feeling of the Mercedes CL class was also close.(Of course, I'm sure the suspension has something to do with it.)
It is difficult to make an all-around sheet with a high overall score (T_T), although the good and bad will vary depending on what kind of situations it is often used in.
I can't judge by the market degree, but the GT series Ferraris seemed to have a better total balance.... I'm really worried about growing my family....(ds124)

11] The seats in German cars have different standard physiques, so there are some parts that inevitably do not fit Japanese people. But in the case of Porsche, the options are different.
I think BMW has slightly more room in both the M3 seats and the regular 3 series. I don't think there was an option for up to 18-way, with the only adjustability being hand-guided or electric. I don't know about the more recent ones, since I've lost interest since the turbo...

GT4 really wanted to add a roll gauge too.but for some reason I had to give it up because it is a set with carbon buckets. Personally, I have always had Recaros on my car, and I just couldn't see the benefit of this price difference.
The only Porsche carbon bucket I have actually sat in is the 997GT3RS, but it didn't fit me that well.(Nak)

[12] "Ability to move the passenger seat from the driver's seat in the Panamera.Thank you for mentioning again about the "I'm not sure what to do with it! If it is as stately as the Panamera, I would like to see the passenger seat move from the driver's seat and also have electric steering adjustment.
With the standard 8-way Panamera 4S, the passenger seat cannot be moved from the driver's seat, and the steering wheel adjustment is manual.and the result isEasy entry doesn't work as if...I would like to let you know if you are considering the Panamera.

I have not given much thought to the sheet itself, but now I would like to give it some thought! In other words, I had stopped thinking about the significance of the cost of sheets, but now I would like to think about it more carefully!(Mr. Manma)

tire

[13] I'm a returning rider and motorcyclist.Tire pressure severely affects ride and grip.We know that if the front tire of a motorcycle slips, it is certain to fall over and injure itself. If the front tire of a motorcycle slips, it is certain to fall over and cause injury. Therefore, we have to be very serious about grip, but tires warm up differently depending on air and road temperatures, and some tires have a large temperature dependence.
The air pressure should be adjusted according to the tire's characteristics, vehicle weight, weight, driving style, season, air temperature, and road surface temperature.I have learned a lot about it. It is an old book but it is my bible. If your husband is interested, please recommend it to him.

Why Do Cars Turn? -Dynamics of Marginal Cornering" published in 2001
Automotive Tire Research, published in 1995.

I don't know if it's available.(irresponsible and smeary)but the physical laws don't change, so it can be permanent.(Kazu Kogane Hills)

14] I have experienced that different brands of tires change the ride quality. All the components (shocks, springs, body reinforcement, etc.) are the same, from the tire size to the components (shocks, springs, body reinforcement, etc.). The only difference is the brand of tires.
A grade that takes advantage of the supple Michelin characteristics and a grade that emphasizes response with high grip tires (Bridgestone Potenza) that have high rigidity and good bite.Tires alone can change the character of a car so much.I felt that it was a great idea, and I also learned anew about the amazing development capabilities of the manufacturers who plan it as a product (Nissan Serena Autec and Serena Nismo).(nashi6944)

Maintenance of your car

[15] I switched from an 18 Cayman to a 718 Spyder, and I feel like this blog was one of the reasons I stepped up to the GT model, because the information was so accessible, even though it didn't seem to be on the one-year service statement.Did you change the oil in the transmission at the time of the initial inspection?If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you two could share your thoughts on maintenance around oil!(Rintaro)

→Rintaro-san
>I don't see it on the one-year inspection statement, but did you change the oil in the transmission at the time of the initial inspection?
Transmission oil has not been changed yet.Yes, and the reason is.Porsche's official GT3 instruction manual.(which can be downloaded from the Internet)Judgment according toThe company said that it was doing so.(My husband always seems to follow it by looking at the instruction manual)
However, he said that he changed the engine oil as soon as possible because there is a lot of stop-and-go traffic in Japan.

[16] About the tanks.I basically shove everything into a no-brush car wash.If the car gets too dirty, I hand-wash it myself, but come to think of it, I think all 8 cars get a no-brush wash at least once a week.
I have a sturdy coating, water alone is enough to get it off, and I am quite impressed every time with the power of the no-brush car wash dryer to blow the water away. InBlow it up and check the condition by yourself.You're all over the place, aren't you?
Even Ferraris? But only Japanese people care about such things, and in other countries, people usually put their cars in car wash machines. I don't care about that. I don't mind using a brush, but...As for the latest car wash machines at certain stands near Sannomiya, they have soft brushes.So, there are times when I have to shove it in.
The Porsche is fine, but the Ferrari sometimes gets water droplets through the window, but w(Kurumaniasan)

battery powered

[17Battery dead in 964That was a tough time for you. I also kept my 964 in my parents' yod garage for a long time and only drove it occasionally, so I used to run up the battery often. I used to change the battery once a year.Compared to 930, 964 is easy to cause due to increased standby current because of the sudden increase in electrical components.I was told.
Also, it may just be my 964, but I had it checked and for some reason the standby current for the A/C switch unit is almost 10 times higher than the 993 unit. I changed the unit to a 993 unit and it was less likely to go up.
furthermoreSince the battery kill switch was installed, the battery no longer runs down.
Also, the domestic (Panasonic) ones hold up better than the original Bosch ones. I currently leave the charger on in the garage on the property. The other day I accidentally forgot to connect it and it died due to battery over-discharge.(It had been five years and I was ready to give up.)

Nice jump starter for mobile! I think I'll get one...(Indujunia).

18] If you don't have a car that you drive often, battery problems are bound to come.I have tried Delco and many other manufacturers, but C-TEK is the best.It is.
I ended up using C-TEK because the other ones often stopped charging when the voltage dropped too low.(Sakon)

Porsche clutch

[19The clutch on the 981 bok spa is also heavy (in a good way).The clutch is very comfortable. The GTS seems to be heavy, so the weight of the clutch may be a common effect of the 981.
I used to ride.The 2.0L 718 Boxster wasn't that heavy on the clutch.I remember that the 2.5L 718 Boxster S was not so different from the 2.0L 718 Boxster, although I only test drove the 2.5L 718 Boxster S for a short distance.

I remember that when I visited a used 991.2 MT car, I was a little disappointed at how light the clutch was.(I couldn't test drive it, just sat in the seat and stepped on the clutch, so maybe it would be different if I drove it).I had heard that the 911s were hard and clutch heavy, but that must have been in the air-cooled era.

I recently test drove a 6MT Aston Martin V12 VANTAGE. I thought that the clutch must be very hard to press because of the large displacement of 5.9 liters. I was expecting it to be a little harder to step on the clutch.981 Voxpa was definitely heavier.It is. In my layman's terms, I thought that engine displacement and clutch weight would correlate somewhat, but it doesn't seem to matter.(Mr. Ishi)

20] There can be many interpretations of the weight of the clutch, but I don't think I have gone out of my way to make the clutch heavier for Porsche.
In the old days, I thought it was basic that as the power and torque of the engine increased, the clutch would become heavier because of the force required to hold it down. However, if the clutch became too heavy, it would be difficult to operate, so I wondered if the material or structure of the clutch would have to be changed after a certain level of weight.
As Ishi has already written.The 718 clutch was not heavy.It is. It was so light that I felt it was light after switching from a Subaru B4 MT.
The 991.2 is even lighter than the 991.2, but at least mine is very easy to operate. The connection is smooth, but the power is transmitted properly.
The other day, I went to Porsche Center Fukuoka.There was a 981 Cayman GT4 in the showroom and I sat in the driver's seat.You did.
I heard that the PDK of the GT model of the 911 can be clutched by pulling both paddles.(PorscheDreamer)

21] On a personal note... when I replaced the clutch on my car, which I had been driving stock for a long time, I replaced the flywheel with a lightweight one, and the clutch became heavier. The steering wheel, which had not bothered me at all before, became lighter, and I felt uncomfortable with the difference in weight from the clutch.
Last year, when I rented a BRZ manual transmission, I felt the weight of the steering wheel and the lightness of the clutch were uncomfortable. Now I have replaced the steering wheel of my car with a small-diameter one, and the weight of the clutch and the weight of the steering wheel are in balance, making driving more enjoyable and satisfying.
I feel that the joy of driving is based on balance.Driving a German car, I think the steering wheel, in any class, is heavier than a domestic one.It is.(BL5 rider)

981 Boxster / Spyder

[22] In the 981 Boxster Spyder.Exactly the same magic handto use. I was surprised.Conveniently tucked behind the passenger seatRight? If the roof is open, after taking the parking ticket, it is easier to bring the parking ticket to your hand by using the magic hand in a circular motion, like the hands of a clock.
When the roof is closed, you have to pull it horizontally, but the magic hand is so long that it is difficult to bring the parking ticket to your hand. I can't express it well in writing...
One day, the middle edge of the magic hand was bent. Perhaps the passenger in the passenger seat moved the electric seat backward when getting out of the car, and it made contact with the seat. I bent it backwards by hand, and the scar remained, but I was able to get it back to a usable level.(kenken75)

[23] Me too.I drive a 981 Boxster with a sports chassis.So I read this with great interest. I was not able to test drive the car and did not do much research. After purchasing the car, I found out that it had a sport chassis, so I looked it up on the web and found that "it is about 50% harder than a stock 987, and has a thrusting feeling. I was quite worried because there was a post that said "If someone who wants to drive easy buys it by mistake, he/she will probably give it away soon...".
When I actually drive, I think there is a difference in the tires (Falken Azenis FK510), but it is very supple and I don't notice any thrust.It was. I really like the on-the-rails feeling when I drive on the pass, it's like doing a carving turn on skis.

I am glad that my concerns were unfounded, as I felt no discomfort while driving around town or in the suburbs. Although driving the Note e-Power after driving the Boxster is like driving on a bed.(Mr. Yellow Submarine)
