Two items that are moderate in cost but make a big difference are a set of RSS rear adjustable toe links and a set of their front thrust arm bushings. The toe links give you more camber options, as I find on my 981 GT4 that running 2.5 degrees front and 2 degrees rear camber is optimal along with putting the rear bar to the stiff setting to eliminate the factory understeer. These settings as well as a set of the newer N1 spec Cup 2 tires (the main difference in the slightly quicker laps times of the 718 model) bring out the real magic in the car
Thanks for watching and chiming in. Be sure to check out my suspension and wheels video to see my setup. GT4 Camber Plates and Toe Links from Tarett ruclips.net/video/Ft4oIs_zfMc/видео.html
Thanks for the video. FYI for others reading, the front plastic deflectors can be removed without lifting the car... I just reached under there and there's plenty of room to get a T25 in there.
This is the first time I actually liked what I hear and see, you explained perfect and shown what you did was really in-depth but most importantly you didn’t bore the c out of me , I’ve subscribed that’s how well I thought I’ve even looked to see how to do the things you showed Cheers mate Rich Scotland
Thanks man for the great info. My biggest problem is my GT4 is mainly street driven and the throttle pedal is too low in relation to the brake for heel toe. I don't want to replace the whole throttle assembly with one from Rennline. Is there something I can slip over the throttle pedal to raise the front surface?
Yes. The softest setting is at the ends. If for example you feel the back end is too squirrelly you might consider making the rear softer or the front harder.
Good stuff dude!! Do you run at crows with AAS or SFR at all? I’m coming up with my new shark blue gt4 at the end of the month if you’re gonna be there
My car is setup at -2.5F and -2.2R, usually the recommendation should be 0.5 difference between F and R, in paper this setup should give me a bit or understeer, I haven’t track the car since the changes, canyons felt really well. Do you think I should stiffen the rear sway bar to have the best setup for canyons and track??
That really comes down to how you drive it and what you need. Drive some and figure out how it performs. Recently I’ve been happy with mid setting front and rear after trying different things out.
Regarding the brake fluid change: the only reason to change the brake fluib because water will get in the fluid? Or is there any other reason? I know they have a heat cycle, but is the fluid will be worn? Also a reason I ask becaue when you use "Castrol SRF racing" you can track your car for 2-3 years easily and still there will be no sign of water in it. (Measured with digital instrument yearly)
Moisture is the biggest issue which can bring down the boiling point. But if it tests good I guess it’s fine. I think shelf life of SRF is 2 years? Would still change by then.
@@JetFuelOnly yep 2 yearsm But after 3 years there is still not water in the mix. Measured it multiple times. And I done monthly a track event for 2+ years.
I knew that would be asked. Haha. Sometimes we think of spoilers (lips and raised edges) as making downforce but they actually reduce the lifting tendency on a car (usually the tail end). In this case they are hurting the smooth airflow under the car decreasing the smooth flow of air that actually generates downforce. The GT4 has a rear. “Spoiler/lip” that directs airflow and keeps the rear end from lifting but then it has an actual airfoil wing to push down on the rear.
When the rear wing isn’t actually pushing down on the car you don’t want the flow under the front to be so good that it has an unbalanced pressure on the nose. So the little deflector/spoilers do that for us.
I don’t believe so but never checked. Perhaps you can get a quick look at yours (if you have one) by turning the front wheels fully and looking back there
Nice vid. I’m not too far from you. I have 718 GTS 4.0 and some other car including one that’s track dedicated. Wondering if you’re open to connecting where I can see your car in person and maybe hit a track day with you at some point.

Great content and great formatting/editing! Very professional.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Legit helpful video. Not there yet but I can't wait. Thank you!
A masterpiece! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing editing and images. Great info too. Trying to decide between GT4 vs C8 Z51 or Z06. The Porsche tax has me concerned.
If you can get a Z06 go for it! Otherwise the GT4 is a different animal. Not as powerful but those who know…
They know.
If you are tracking, brakes can be an issue on the C8. A buddy just gave up on multiple failures and spent $10K on a big brake set...

You know, as a PDK owner I had no idea. My first thought is to design and 3D print something myself. But I haven’t heard of anything otherwise.
loved the video, thanks a ton for this!
Great info, thanks. What do the different holes on the swaybars represent? ie: soft, medium, hard?
Yes. The softest setting is at the ends. If for example you feel the back end is too squirrelly you might consider making the rear softer or the front harder.

@@JetFuelOnly thanks for your reply, do you know what camber are you using??
@@JetFuelOnlyforgot to mention my car is a 981 hence the original question based on the general consensus
@feralc 3.0 front and 2.6 rear
These are great videos mate.
Thanks!

Hi
how often do you change PDK oil ?
can you advise on this
Rgs
Porsche’s interval to change the PDK oil and clutch fluid is 12 years or 120,000 miles. Not sure I’ll wait that long but that’s what they say.
@@JetFuelOnly
yes I know
but this seems very unrealistic when driving trackdays…
Good stuff thanks, but why would Porsche fit the 2 front small spoilers if they ‘spoil’ the flow of air under the car and actually increase lift?
I knew that would be asked. Haha. Sometimes we think of spoilers (lips and raised edges) as making downforce but they actually reduce the lifting tendency on a car (usually the tail end). In this case they are hurting the smooth airflow under the car decreasing the smooth flow of air that actually generates downforce. The GT4 has a rear. “Spoiler/lip” that directs airflow and keeps the rear end from lifting but then it has an actual airfoil wing to push down on the rear.
When the rear wing isn’t actually pushing down on the car you don’t want the flow under the front to be so good that it has an unbalanced pressure on the nose. So the little deflector/spoilers do that for us.
Would be fun to do a comparison of your GT4 and my Spyder sometime. I think we are in the same'ish area and we both have the black Satin wrap.
I like that idea! Get in touch with me in IG or the email in the About section of the RUclips page
Does the GTS have the same sway bar settings available?
I don’t believe so but never checked. Perhaps you can get a quick look at yours (if you have one) by turning the front wheels fully and looking back there

Yeah I’m down! I’d like to experience the difference with the GTS anyway! Best way to reach me is on my Instagram account of same name.
Cool info, thnx
Nice video, I also liked your subscribe graphic on the pcm 4 screen you’ll have to show me how to do that ! 😂
Thanks! Movie magic sir!
謝謝！
this is a good channel
Thanks!
well done
Lmao did you put „subscribe“ on your apple watch? 😂
Yup!
If you only cared about lap times you'd just buy a gt3
If I only had another $100k I’d just buy a GT3. 🤣
