T-Man Posted 22July, 2014 Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 Welcome Athid to PFA. This is starting to sound like a common story, looking for a 964. The C4 is certainly more common than the C2, which seems to be the preffered model. Get your finances together and have them ready, because when the right car comes along you won't have a great deal of time to think about it.

Tit Posted 22July, 2014 Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 Hi Athid. Perhaps also get acquainted with a few reputable porsche mechanics and tell them what you're looking for. They often know what's about to hit the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 22July, 2014 Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 Hi Athid. Perhaps also get acquainted with a few reputable porsche mechanics and tell them what you're looking for. They often know what's about to hit the market. +1, worth doing this. I'm still getting to know mine but I can say that they are a great 911 to be considering, best of luck on the search.

180athid Posted 22July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 thanks for the advise guys. i currently am communicating to most Porsche mechanics in Melbourne as they purchase the Motul rbf600 off me. but get the usual response of "ill let you know if one comes up " with the important word being IF hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JV911 Posted 22July, 2014 Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 Hi Athid. Perhaps also get acquainted with a few reputable porsche mechanics and tell them what you're looking for. They often know what's about to hit the market. +2 Precisely what I did In addition to knowing what might be coming on the market, they will know the history of the car and any work that needs doing.

hugh Posted 22July, 2014 Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 hugh you wouldn't of just purchased the white c2 from perth ? Yes, that's the one. Ended up buying sight unseen but cant say I'm disappointed, the PO was a very good guy so no nasty surprises thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-banger Posted 22July, 2014 Report Share Posted 22July, 2014 Also check the various Porsche clubs web sites in their for sale section. I hope you are not in a rush, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped car off to have work done, mechanic said he had a client looking for one and was I ok if he called in to have a look at it. Wasn't really on market but I never saw it again! Good luck, C2 manuals seem to be very sought after at the moment - the last 2 listed have literally sold within hours. Cash at the ready is the only chance.

Peter M Posted 24July, 2014 Report Share Posted 24July, 2014 While we are still OT Athid, which Motul oils contain greater than 1200 ppm ZDDP? Yeah, yeah, someone had to ask.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180athid Posted 26July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 26July, 2014 I'll have a look at some data sheets and get back to you !! What viscosity do you run ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 26July, 2014 Report Share Posted 26July, 2014 Actually, you'll need to do this "research" when you buy your 964 anyway!Athid,Ideally a 10(or less)W-50 would be the go for our air cooled cars but I'd be interested in data sheets on 10w-40 or 20w-50 or anything in between. However it is the zinc content that is a key component to have the valve train last in these motors.ThanksPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
