Owner has used abrasive cleaner fluid on wheels and brakes. Look, it has milky nut syndrome.

Why do this ?, PCCB are so easy to keep clean

Nice ride though.

Is there any way to fix the milky nut syndrome? I've just bought a car that has this and it bothers me.

No, if you want them back to an immaculate state then No, you'll need a new set.
Cost be around 1k for a new set of 4, from an OPC.

I bought a car with them and if you use a drop of olive oil and a small brush it brings them up lovely like new and lasts quite well too

After a heavy weekend in Benidorm the doctor prescribed some penicillin for that last time

First sub £120k 991.1 gt3 rs being sold at a opc with a warranty I’ve seen.

Interior not looking it’s best, but at least they have priced it on a more level playing field.

Intergalactic mileage in GT3RS land, so price no surprise!

With the VIN being WP0ZZZ99ZGS188628

and with G in the last 8 letters, does it mean it is of G series engine (the best engine for 991.1 GT3)?

Have there been any known failures on the G series engines?
Certainly puts me off that model longer term, why would you take the risk

Do the 991.1 gt3 rs engines suffer the same failures as the 991.1 gt3?

RS has revised 4.0 engine, therefore does not suffer same issues as the 3.8 originally seen in the non RS 991.1. I believe that the late G6 3.8 fitted as a replacement in the GT3 (non RS) is the 4.0 RS with different stroke to compensate for lower capacity.

Dropped limiter 500 rpm as well I think

Yes, looks like the huts will need replacing!

Looks like the near side rear PCCB is chipped too... (top RHS on the pics)

Thank you, good spot I missed that one!

Really love it in black, very menacing.

Is the chip bad enough to require brake disc needs replacement, or just an annoyance?

This is one reason I went for steels

The large chip adjacent to the spoke is big enough to scrap the rotor. Odd it has chips in the disc, and paint chips on some of the calipers (pic 71) at low miles.

Scrapping one rotor means scrapping the other on the same axel so a £10k bill...

If the other rotor is within wear limit range and unchipped, only one would need replacement.

Wouldn’t you need to replace the pads on both sides, if replacing the or both discs.

I was always under the impression both disks on the same
axle should be replaced at the same time. Does this not apply to ceramic brake discs?

Steel Brakes every day for 10k you get about 5 sets of discs and pads ..... front and rear from OPC .... and easy to fit

Agreed, I bought one almost identical the one above on CC and glad I had ended up with steels, although the dust is ridiculous!

Also, I suspect we will find out this car is actually jet black metallic. Basalt black is metallic and would have to be PTS back then which I dont think was possible. In the brochure the options were black or jet black met, implying the black option was solid.

In the sunlight of those pics it doesn't appear to be metallic. Looks like solid black to me - which is the best purist inky black in my opinion.
