    from looking at it, there was no cracks or any noticeable damage....

    Okay updates: I changed the spark plug (OEM Porsche Units) I purchased a code reader (durametric) No codes and with new plugs it still does the same thing, I am narrowing it down to around 3000 rpm and 3500 rpm those two point the car will loose power that it feels like I took my foot off the gas completely.

    i have an 01 turbo with about 9000 miles on it now, when i am cruising on the highway with my RPM floating around 3000 rpm or 3400 rpm with maybe 10-20% throttle the car would misfire/hesitate.. However it does not have any signs of this hesitation when i am on the throttle and just revving the gear out. Any idea what this might be? TIA

    Loren, you were right the first time! I acutally brought a set of rear OEM suspension to replace, when I started the process taking everything apart I noted the Upper sway bar link was loose! I only checked the lower mounting point the first time... Now no more noise! Thanks for the info!

    Just check that, everything is tight....i just removed all the rear carpet and went out for a drive, i am pretty sure it's from the suspension thou, almost sounds like a loose spring - could that be possible? Thanks again. T

    I know it's not possible to know what to hear the voice via the forum but I was hoping that there might be some common issues generating the noise from the rear of my 01 turbo. When I go over certain bumps any speed it can hear this low soft thump or da da - da da like noise from the rear. from my car experience it almost sounds like the strut missing the little plastic ring, or a mis-installed spring, or some plastic part hitting the body panel Any ideas or solutions?

    hmmm take a pic of your engine i am curious to see what it looks like.

    I used the area circled in blue, is it okay? Thanks

    turned out to be the fuel pump

    I believe this is a sign of the diverter valve going back, but just want to confirm: This happens mid RPM range about 60-70% throttle, doesn't happen at WOT or between shifts.... Any ideas? Thanks

    What tool did you use? Is it capable of viewing pending faults? i used a OBD II reader...and came up with no codes...i don't think it's capable of viewing pending faults, it's from pepboys...
  12. imolas54
    there are no stored fault codes....

    i know i would need to get several parts, vent/trim/etc but i want to make sure that it wil fit without any modifications. Thanks

    my car is under cpo warranty but just want to check to see if this is a known issue. Usually after drive a car a while and I want to do a "warm" start, the car would fire up but RPM will drop to 0 and stall, I tried it about 5 starts and just will not "catch". I can however give it some gas then everything is fine... it's an 01 w/ 8000 miles Also i feel sometimes when holding a rpm/speed the car seems to "hesitate" a bit like i backed off the throttle but i don't think i did.. any ideas? Thanks
  15. imolas54
    or do i need to drill holes for installation? nevermind used the search feature :D :D :D
  16. imolas54
    i saw some plastic flip out "thing" for that rolls out when you pump gas to protect the edge, do they make this for the 996? If so could one of you be kind enough to point me to the website. Thanks! T

    i just installed a set from NRauto, easy job actually, just make sure you take pictures of ur needles at idle, warmed up, so you know how to adjust it back to original. keep in mind in order to install the NR faces, u pretty much will damage the orignal black face during the install. on the NR faces, note there is a peel coat on the back and on the top make sure you remove it prior to installation. Do not insert your key while the gauge pod is disconnected, otherwise u'll get a check airbag light.

    i don't have a bose logo on my 02 carrera just stock 6 speaker system, and boy does it sound like crap! if the fade in the center i hear everyone from only the front dash speakers, i have the fade set on R4 right now and it is only bearable.... it's got plenty of highs some bass but seems to be missing everything in between.... i know it's a sports car but since it comes w/ cup holder why not a great stereo too? what do you guys do to solve this?!
  19. imolas54
    was looking for the handle, which i have ordered a set of the aluminum look from sunset, thanks for the offer thou :)

    in case anyone is looking for this info in the future, i called a few dealership there seems to be NO retrofit kit for the older nav system. :(

    getting just springs installed is the cheap way out, and the trade off is ride quaility. I use to be the type that swore on how good it rode on just springs, but that's because i didn't know better, and after having proper suspension set-up i would never go back to using only lowering spring again.

    as you asking if a porsche would be as reilable as a nissan? if so, the answer is it depends on the car, espeically buying used. You can get a car that needs nothing or a car that needs everything like any other manufacture. In general i would think porsche is equal if not better than a nissan car, but the driving experience is probably 10x better. Where the z starts to feel "out of breath" after 5000rpm, the porsche is sounding/feeling its best!
  23. imolas54
    Nice just what i am looking for! Thanks!
  24. imolas54
    has anyone installed a set from NRauto? any instructions on how to remove the gauage cluster? Thanks :)

    Gotta agree that the 997 wheel is U-G-L-Y :P But getting that radio control on the wheel to work w/ the 996 hmmmmmm....
