992 Carrera T Club - New & Improved!

Congrats! For reverse, you have to push it hard to the left. You'll feel it go past a detent, and then you can push up and into reverse.

GT3 RS Paddle Shifters
Hi all, I wanted to share a quick post on an upgrade I made to my T in case anyone else is interested in a similar modification. My T was spec'd with a PDK but I was looking for a bit more engagement than the standard paddle shifters. I found them to be sort of mushy and there was no tactile feedback when you shifted gears. They are also silver and sort of hidden behind the wheel. Suncoast offers the GT3 RS magnesium shifters aftermarket. They are larger, look more aggressive, match the black accents of the T interior, have perfect ergonomics for placement of your fingers, and offer a satisfying audible / tactile click when you shift. I realize it's not the same as a manual, but it does allow for more engaging response when driving a PDK in manual mode. The downshifts coming into a hairpin are so much fun! The install only took about 30 mins - 20 of which were waiting for the capacitors to drain after battery disconnect to make sure the airbag didn't deploy when you remove it. Overall an easy mod and would highly recommend for any fellow T owners with PDK looking for more engagement.
Here's a link to an installation video if you want more details:

Loxxrider actually refers to my love of wakeboarding from back when I made this account in 2006 (while still in high school!). Although I've used that name on many car forums and if you were to check out my posts in those places, you'd see that I love to modify every car I own to various extents. After spending a few days with the T, I can confidently tell you that it will indeed be getting some tasteful modifications.
Firstly, I think it needs wheel spacers to maximize the stance on the stock wheels and suspension. I will probably do wheels and lower it ever so slightly in the future as well, but it's not super high priority at the moment. After the spacers, I would primarily like to address the sound of the car. I think it sounds pretty good stock, but I would prefer to make a few tweaks. First on that list is an M-Coder from M Engineering to allow the exhaust flaps to be fully open (and later to avoid a check engine light from sport cats). Next will be the Do88 intake setup. My particular car has almost no induction noise because it wasn't built with the sound symposers. I know lots of people like to delete them, but I would have loved to have them in my car! Then depending how much difference the M-Coder makes, I'll probably go for sport cats and/or a JCR exhaust.
That'll probably be it until the car is out of warranty at which point I'll go for a tune and possibly upgrade to GTS turbos as well. Cheers!

[QUOTE=Cartod;19606171]They are black plastic. You want to find out how they look painted? I have a brand new set that were damaged in shipping. I threw them on the car real quick for a photo. If someone is good with plastic they may be able to be repaired or painted. I’d probably let the go free if someone wants to pay shipping.

Hey All, I have a question for the collective brains here: Have you figured out how to map the blank center console switch to auto-blip on and off? It would be so much easier to just have a physical switch for this operation vs. going into PCM and manually changing it all the time. I can't seem to find an option to do this in my car (2024 911T) - has anyone here managed it?

LOL you beat me to the punch.
Please post pic once you have it painted and installed

There are 2 things that I wanted to take care when I took the delivery of my 2024 911T. Disable auto start/stop and disable auto blip.
I use "normal individual" mode to take care of both. I disable auto start/stop on this mode (it will be saved until enable it again in the PCM), and the auto-blip is already disabled by default.
I've been using "individual" mode ever since. Now if we can set specific mode as default at each start up that would be most convenient.
Right now I just develop a habit to twist the mode selector dial after I twist the ignition.
Here is the table extracted from the manual on the different driving mode. As you can see the auto-blip is activated under "WET", "SPORT" and "SPORT PLUS" mode

I was really surprised to see what's almost a two year old car with miles on the clock go for over MSRP this week. It's been the only T sale that's taken place on BAT compared to numerous GT3 / GT3RS (must be a hot potato value wise) and GTS models. Interesting to think about.

Good afternoon! Saw somewhere in a prior thread someone was looking into this, but can't find any update on it.
Has anyone ordered the rear engine/lid/grill parts from the S/T and installed on a T (or base/S/GTS) yet? Can it even work since the S/T doesn't have the intercooler plumbing? Mainly looking for the mesh vs. the current strakes and happy to leave "everything beneath the suface" alone as it functions fine. This is a purely cosmetic change for me as I'm happy with her performance.
