spiller Posted 22May, 2021 Report Share Posted 22May, 2021 While we are talking about exhausts, it appears the Australian 996 GT3s do not have their secondary (i.e. after cat converter) O2 sensors wired up. The sensors are fitted to the cats, they just don’t plug into the main wiring harness. Can anyone confirm why Porsche would do this? Weird!

Probably the same as on 993's - the euro ECU was slightly different to the US, and has less (or no) 02 input. But yes it is odd that a 02 sensor is there instead of just a plug.

They are also very rare and quite light weight. Look a bit better in the flesh as they are gloss black I have the originals at home if I want to be a bit more classic Sent the picture to Matt Coleman who gave it the thumbs up - which was nice LeeM, TwoHeadsTas and Shedpest 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're black too, but thinking of a gold plasti-dip conversion..... I'm actually wondering whether they might be Speedlines too, light as heck. What are the Speedline markings?

Porsche may have worked out it was cheaper to just leave the sensors in there than disrupt production with different parts, or something like that!

Jason A Posted 12June, 2021 Report Share Posted 12June, 2021 Some sneaky happy laps this afternoon, feels like a normal GT3 engine until you hit 6,000rpm - then it rips.

TwoHeadsTas Posted 25June, 2021 Report Share Posted 25June, 2021 Took a call from my mechanic saying that on top of the clutch bits I'd bought he had to install a new Single Mass flywheel as well 😞 More $$, but what the heck, it is only money, and it will make driving it so much easier 🙂 GTP911, Jason A and JWM 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason A Posted 25June, 2021 Report Share Posted 25June, 2021 Make sure they put a silver SMFlywheel in - it will be much quicker that the other colours 😂 TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick V Posted 26June, 2021 Report Share Posted 26June, 2021 Dropped it into Buiks workshop early in the week to replace sway bar drop links….. which I probably damaged trying to keep up with @wilson59 & @Shedpest in the Classic Adelaide recently. Ben & team were great to deal with as usual. Decided to drive it to/from work for the rest of the week…… not ideal GT3 territory, but surprisingly good fun. Hanging for spring weather & Adelaide Hills roads. JWM, wilson59, spiller and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
