I know, a little 'off topic', however:

HOW does one get BANNED from Pelican? Reason I ask: I was contacted by somebody interested in buying my SN. (COCONUTPOINT WAS USER NAME.)

As he saw pictures of my car on this thread, I thought maybe somebody would know something about it? When I went back to look at some PM's we exchanged, it said BANNED...

Anybody know him? Know why?

[QUOTE=tailwind22;7448540]What do you guys think of this 79 dealer slant conversion with a Ruf 5 speed transmission and K27 turbo? Price is a bit high for a conversion but it appears very nice. DANIEL SCHMITT & CO CLASSIC CAR GALLERY PRESENTS: 1979 PORSCHE 930 TURBO for Sale in St. Louis, Missouri.

That is a pretty nice looking car. You would have to look at the Slant Conversion in person to really know what you are getting. What dealer did the work? For example, an Alan Johnson conversion ( 80's Porsche Dealer in San Diego) would actually be collectible I think.

$59k seems a bit steep for a non factory slant nose but this post is full of comments on values going up so maybe that is where we are at now. A quality conversion is indistinguishable from a factory slant and there are not that many conversions out there in the big picture of things. My own experience would suggest that you look for signs of rust on the slant fenders. Even my RUF Conversion has some so I would guess that the factory dipped them and the rest of the world did not. Chaulk one up for the factory slants on that one.

As I recall, The 78-85 930 is tuned a bit different than the 86-89 930 so that the boost comes on a bit more sudden. That was the origins of the stigma that a 930 would kill the unaware driver doing stupid things. I would imagine that the standard headers/exhaust/turbo upgrades would cure that a bit. I am not sure that there were big differences in the suspension between the 3.3 930's.

Sounds like a day trip to St Louis for some BBQ and a Porsche ride. The car does look quite nice. I am not keen on the wheels but each to their own. The RUF 5 speed is way bonus! I would love to get one for my car.

Good luck......

What does the screw adjustment on the headlight motor do? Speed of the motor or a limitation adjustment of some kind?

I adjusted it - but doesn't seem to do anything. Or - I just may be too stupid to figure it out - lol

Thanks,
Mark

I haven't looked at/or played with ne in awhile.. but If its the one I'm thinking about it will adjust depth of where the lights lay when off. In other words adjust to make them flush with the panel opening, Or... it may be that this one adjusts the level up when open.. or am I thinking about the ones on the 308? Duh. You get the idea.

[WERK I]

I think that screw is for adjusting the the stop torque for the motor when the headlights hit their mechanical stops. I wouldn't toy with it. Use the mechanical stop bolts to adjust the headlight attitude both when the headlight is up and when it's down.

[j930]

no the screw thing in the middle of the trunk is so you can manually crank the lights up if the motors did not work. wow, i actually contributed a little of my useless knowledge.

Here's one that I thought should definitely be represented here.. I remember this car and have that brochure where its featured.

Very Rare 1987 Factory Slant Nose Turbo. Details Inside....

CAVEAT EMPTOR !



This current ebay offering is a hoot! Get out a new legal pad if you're writing down the misrepresentations. Aside from the obvious mistakes in the description copy, the video is a true classic in the number of bogus comments made by the obviously misinformed sales manager (and supported by an enthusiastic camera man assistant). Of course the most glaring problem is that the car is NOT a genuine factory made Slantnose in spite of the apparent presence of several factory components.

The sales manager definitely sounds convinced that the car is authentic by his frequent references to a number of verifiable clues provided by two local "PCA experts" (a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing). His persuasive sales pitch will be of little consolation to the unsuspecting purchaser when he/she learns the truth about his/her "real factory built" Slantnose Turbo. Note the dealership's warranty paragraph where it holds itself harmless from any and all misrepresentations:
"The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith."

My thoughts exactly when I saw the listing this AM. First clue was no photo of the option code sticker.

Looks like it sold to someone in CA.

[UDPride]

Look how many times the sales guy is blinking. He's practically got the vapors. Strong suggestion of deception.

[1986911]

No affiliation but what I have an 89 SN Coupe and have no idea what that grey thing on the top right is.

Anyone know?

911 tool kit - 86-89

[j930]

i believe its so you can manually close/open the sunroof, i think there is instructions on the owners manual. if i remember right you unzip the rear headliner and insert that end in and turn.

Correct..

Welcome to all the new people enjoying this thread...

[Lyn H]

I am relatively new to the 930 slant nose group. I have an interesting dash that I have not seen elsewhere on my 1986 930 with dealer installed (I think) slant nose.




Has anyone observed one like this before?

In the center console are VDO gauges. On the left is a volt meter, center is an hour meter and right is a cylinder head temp gauge. The black rectangle items at the lower edge of the dash are slide out cassette tape holders. The one holder just to the right of the center console is the door lock button.

Was this a special order of some kind?

Thanks
Lyn

[onboost]

Yep.. we've seen those before..
I have the same lower dash in my car but without the cassette boxes & pwr lock switch. My conversion was done by Alan Johnson Racing which was an authorized Porsche dealer in CA. From what I understand, at one point, they were the dealer for factory 930S parts.

[UDPride]

That was a Programme Exclusive console. There were a couple different ones that could be ordered, depending on what instruments/gauges they contained. It was classified as Center Console A, B, and C I think but Im going on memory -- I would have to look at some of my archives.

Porsche had several diff options on the 3.2/3.3 liter cars at that time. There was a Center Console with Instrument for over $5000 in 1989, but you could also order Center Console "A", "B", or "C" and then ala carte line items on the sticker would be things like:

Ctr Cons Adapt Heat Reg Switch
Ctr Cons Air Temperature Gauge
Center Console Voltmeter
Electronic Turbo Boost Gauge

Its anyones guess how yours was ordered. In the 80s, Porsche was basically making up the rules as they went. There are discrepancies on similar cars, so there was no steadfast way they itemized things.

My best guess is you have $3000-5000 of stuff there.

UDPride is correct.. I too could not think of the proper name but that's it, "Programme Exclusive!" This was part of the Special Wishes Program which the slant nose option evolved from.
