Carrera28 Posted 21July, 2021 Report Share Posted 21July, 2021 On 21/07/2021 at 17:49, 911CSR said: This is very interesting...I bought one from FVD for exactly this reason and the reviews and blurb said the extended sump, trap doors and changed pickup solves this issue. I looked at an Accusump also and sounds liek this might be a future upgrade as well. I looked at the Accusump and ultimately decided the cure was as bad as the disease so to speak. The big factor is the semi slick tyres. Porsche actively recommends against track days with semi slick tyres on the 996. I thought that with a baffled sump that contains 12 litres of oil, starvation would not be an issue. I was proven wrong. Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipk Posted 21July, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 21July, 2021 I have a set of rims with semi slick tyres for track days. FVR have the deep oil pan in stock which is great. L&n is going to be a 10-12 week turnaround so if I decide on scavenge pumps or something else I have time to order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipk Posted 12August, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 12August, 2021 Yes, I know. Not cheap but have to do it for the engine. Not worth taking a chance. Going to delete the motorsport oil/water seperator. This is just a fun track /Sunday car not a race car.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelrik911 Posted 13August, 2021 Report Share Posted 13August, 2021 How do Customs & GST treat you for getting your Au engine reconditioned? In the old days it was much better (tax wise) to send your specialist broken stuff O/S as you are doing. Do the Authorities still 'smile' on you - or have they caught up with things?

philipk Posted 13August, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 13August, 2021 No, I will have to pay GST on the invoice which includes shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipk Posted 17August, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 17August, 2021 Seats!! Thinking about seats, Recaro pole position or Recaro Sportster CS? I am thinking Sportster? Have not been able to compare because of lockdown. Thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911CSR Posted 18August, 2021 Report Share Posted 18August, 2021 I have the Sportster in mine and love them. I used the Planted seat bases and Recaro rails (have a spare set of two (2) sliding Recaro rails if interested). Really comfortable and I am 6ft and just under 100kgs. Before things got crazy again I did a weekend trip from the Central Coast to Canberra and back and no issues at all. Still have access to rear seats etc., kids love them too and hold you tight enough for the weekend drive through the hills. @philipkCan post photos if you like.

philipk Posted 28January, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 28January, 2022 Finally collected the car this week and running it in. Of course it cost more than expected but these things happen. Certainly got a lot more go in it but I am being gentle. Still needs Wheels, body panels,central exhaust and seats fitted.Thinking about a half cage. Late Feb for all that. 911CSR, tomo, Mike D'Silva and 5 others 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipk Posted 3February, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 3February, 2022 Body parts are running late of course. Now arriving Wed next week. Just arrived are my 2 Recaro Sportster seats with airbags ,$2400 the pair from a seller in South Australia. At least I save money on something. I have BBI seat mounts on the way from the States! Got to sort harness and mounts yet. Harness bar or Half cage[maybe wrapped in alacantra}. Hopefully by end of March all done! 911CSR and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted 4February, 2022 Report Share Posted 4February, 2022 may I ask on how much the 4.0L built plus freight cost? Ball park figure is fine. I know of a 996 that has a cooked motor and thinking of doing a full built to 4.0L but want to make sure I am not dreaming. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
