The other toys and office work vehicle must be feeling too "slow". So its time for something a little faster.

LOL, yup that Boss Mustang is going to smoke the rest of the garage.

White 996 GT3, rare beast.

Seth:

If I had not just repurchased my 6 GT3 in April I would buy your car with no hesitation. I would make you give me a weekend of driving instruction also. I really missed my 6GT3 after I sold it to buy the Cup.

If you are looking at a newer GT3 RS with the variocam PM me. I am not sure why it has not hit here, but there have been variocam failures in the 997.2 RS's.

Doesn't the 6GT3 have VarioCam too?! (just not on both sides, I think..)

I do not know whether(how) the systems are different on a 6GT3, 7GT3, 7GT3RS, or the 7.2 GT3 and 7.2 GT3RS.

I think variocam in our 6's is on the exhaust side or is it intake. Man I helpful : (. Mike

Thanks for all the compliments and help with selling the car. As of today the car is sold pending payment from the future owner. He isn't a Rennlister but I think he will probably be a future addition to the forum.

The guy who's buying is one Hella lucky man!!! Mike

Beautiful looking car!

KNEW THAT WOULDN'T LAST LONG...

Continuously variable timing of inlet camshaft. : )



The camshafts are hard-chilled components and hollow-cast to reduce weight.
The shank diameter of all camshafts is 26.6 mm.
The intake valve lift is 12.3 mm
The exhaust valve lift is 11.1 mm


Variable camshaft timing = (VarioCam)
The camshaft adjustment system is based on the principle of a helical sliding gear which has a cylindrical component between the camshaft gear and camshaft stub.
The cylindrical component has helical gearing both inside and outside. The inner gearing engages with matching gearing on the inside of the camshaft gear. The outer gearing engages with gearing mated to the camshaft stub. At the same time, the cylinder forms a piston on the side facing away from the camshaft. This piston can be moved by oil pressure. A number of teeth have been removed from the gearing to ensure that the oil pressure can act on the piston instantaneously without loss. The component is sealed with a sealing ring and cannot be dismantled. The oil pressure is regulated on both side by means of a solenoid valve, which is actuated infinitely variable by the Motronic control unit. The adjustment range designed with a crankshaft angle at 45° allows a very fine adaption to the engine characteristics regarding power, torque and exhaust emissions.

Does Anybody maybe have some more detailed specs on the Valve Timing?
ie degrees at 1mm lift etc to setup my 2004 GT3 996?

Any info would be helpful. I have Stomski tools but need the specs. Thx

Who owns this now?

A local guy near me, only met him once, but seemed like a good guy. Dont know if he is on here.
