Sold my 2010 PG Nismo

Nice car. How do they hold up? I have heard that the rear main seals are known to go bad and leak oil. Most Porsche guys I know go to Indy shops once they get out of warrenty. Planet9 seems to be the main board for them.

The Nismo isn't faster.It feels fast but the clock does't lie. I have taken both to the track and timed the laps and the Porsche is faster even though I haven't gotten dialed in yet. As far as dependability the 996 had some problems but I haven't heard of any problems with the 997. I bought an extended warranty just to be safe though.

IMS bearing is the main failure point in those engines. get a magnetic drain plug to watch for any metal shavings. that's a sign of the IMS going bad, which leads to catastrophic engine failure. getting it changed to an aftermarket one is your best option.

other than that, they dont have any major reliability issues
