Like all 997.2 GT3 owners I got a letter from Porsche advising that there is special care to be taken with respect to the rear wheel hubs, etc for cars fitted with center locks - namely that the rear hubs need to be changed after approx 7000km of track use.

However - has anyone here heard of any actual issues ocuring after prolonged track use for these cars?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, Like all 997.2 GT3 owners I got a letter from Porsche advising that there is special care to be taken with respect to the rear wheel hubs, etc for cars fitted with center locks - namely that the rear hubs need to be changed after approx 7000km of track use. Last year I traded my 9972. GT3 for an RS 4.0 - a nice upgrade, but I don't know the exact track usage history of the car. Given its current mileage I can make some educated guesses. I had my local OPC (in Switzerland) make me a quote, so I know what to expect. However - has anyone here heard of any actual issues ocuring after prolonged track use for these cars? At Spa last year I came across a driving instructor claiming that he knew of two people/cars that broke their rear hubs - but it would be nice to have some confirmation before making the expense... Thanks! Michael

POST 2Original post

Hello Michael, The Rennlist thread below has some stories, emotion and dross. There have been some failures but with proper maintenance and observation of lifetime limits it should be fine. The issue of sellers not reporting track usage is where the whole thing falls down. When I sold my GTS (nearing first hub/bearing replacement mileage) I was not asked by the Porsche Centre what track mileage the car had done, even though they knew I was doing 15 track days a year and had replaced 3 sets of front disks I had worn through in 12 months. See http://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-gt3-forum/65058... There is another recent thread http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=100435 where a 997 GT3 owner converted to 5 lug at Centre Gravity in the UK.

Not sure if this is something for you. But I just did a 5 lug conversion..... http://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-gt3-forum/65058...

Thanks to both of you - I'll take all of that under consideration! Michael
