Only issue is through high snow banks left from the snow plow.

only issue was a dead battery, probably from the car sitting before I bought it, and resulting alternator replacement.

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.

great car, with a cool color and great miles. I bought mine from a private dealer when it was just barely out of warranty with just under 14k miles. enjoy to the max....
Jon: I bought my (dream car) 2004 996 C4S in April, and I intend to drive it year-round, so I'm researching snow tires. Apparently Nokian and Blizzaks are the choices. What do you use/recommend?
Thanks,
Chris

I'm sure Nissan corporate was pleased......
We were cooking......it is in shadows, but my right front tire is off the ground.
Hey guys! Its been awhile since I posted...not even sure if this is the right place to ask. Anyways, I recently moved to Austin for a short-term contract and saw this 03 C4S at a small dealer by my apt. Spoke with sales and everything seems to be on the up and up (i.e. service records, carfax, one owner). Asking price is low $30ks with ~91k miles. I do plan to get a PPI if I decide to pull the trigger on this one...but what less obvious issues should I worry about besides RMS?
Here's some shots of the car...

car looks really nice. I love my 03 C4S, which is almost a mirror image of this car. only differences are the exhaust tips and grey interior with alum dials. only issue was a dead battery, probably from the car sitting before I bought it, and resulting alternator replacement. I bought mine this year with just over 14k miles. you won't be disappointed with this car, imho. hope it works out for you.

Some more shots here
and it's great in the snow with winter tires and PSM on. Only issue is through high snow banks left from the snow plow. It's ok if the plow hasn't been through yet or up to 4" of snow.
Hey Guys and Gals,
Well, I'm back from the "dark side." After three years of Corvettes I've just taken delivery of an 04 C4S Cab. My P Cars before this one were a 996 C2 Coupe, a 993 C2 Cab, a 964 Cab and a Boxster S. This one is light years better than what came before it.
Sorry for the lousy pics but I'll get better ones when it's not the first day of the car
Oh, and yes I realize that they are mostly a$$ shots, butt it's her best feature.
Take Care,
Joe Cortney

Thanks, I agree. My problem is I can't figure out anything to do to it. I mean, the first change is usually the cans. I had Fabspeeds on the last car and was all set to order a pair, then Porsche has to go and surprise the hell out of me with the Sport Exhaust. It sounds just perfect to my ears and no resonance at all. Next, would have been painting the console... nope that's done too.. The shoes are brand new so can't make a change there... Ah, here's one, no NAV! Ok, that can be handled this weekend (Kenwood 8120). That leaves only wheels.. ok, something I can sink my teeth into but how long can that take. What am I going to do once that's done.... This is a real problem.

I understand this problem.... getting out just aint like it used to be.
I've recently sold my 911sc and have been thinking about mods for the C4S for some time. dropped and coilovers would be first. Then would be serious thought to those RHA Turbo P's Brando runs... very cool...
I agree there's lots of little things. Clear side lights, Red S for the rear, painted non-smoker kit, short shift kit, C4S mats... all that crap is ordered. I think the body is perfect the way it is so, no wings for me. Tires and wheels will take a bit of shopping. Lowering, well I need to talk to some folks first to hear how it will effect the ride and handling.
Can't do much to the engine as I don't want to void the Certified warranty. 100 cell cats, that might work. Cold air with an ECU upgrade might work as well but, I'd really love to find someone with a 4 wheel dyno so that it can be tuned properly.
Anyway, like I said, lots of little things. I guess the wheels/tires will be something I can sink my teeth into for a while.
I welcome any and all suggestions on how to spend my disposable income before Nancy Pelosi takes all of it.
hey jay, i bet your car breaks necks. i really like it sans rear spoiler. you need to post up some **** shots in motion. only people who've done it understand how insanely aggressive and stout a car looks when the rear wheel wells are filled out and in our case 19x12 monsters, lowered, pushed out to the fenders without rubbing. PERFECT. people just DONT GET IT!
car looks incredible man. i'd love to see it on the highways. radio killah.
I actually forgot the offsets, but IIRC they're the same front and back for my Work Brombachers setup. I believe it was 52+, but I could be wrong. Peter @ Wheelexperts will know for sure. He's really the best guy on wheel fitment.
Fronts are 8.5s with 235/35.
jay funk the radio killah, upon second inspection (I like your photos above that much), it looks like your front wheels have too low of an offset. they protrude out a bit far. your front fenders doing aite? same goes for your rears. your tires look hella stretched.
Yay for me, I bought my first Porsche last night, but had to proposed to my g/f.
It's a 2004 Atlas Gray C4S currently getting CPO'd at Park Place Porsche. Should be done tomorrow and hopefully pics will soon follow.

Thanks Joe. I am envious that yours has the PSE, that will probably be my first upgrade. I bought my M3 from Kal Farris 4 years ago at Park Place Motorcars; I traded it in and bought the C4S from him last night. Kal is a real stand up guy and needs to put me on the frequent buyer program.
It's been... 12 hours since I dropped it off at Park Place this morning and I already miss it!!!

You and I must be cousins. I had a M3 that I traded to Park Place when they were in their old location. Rest easy, the P Car (especially the 4S) is light years more fun than the M3.
You need to join the PCA. The local club, Maverick Region is really active. If you've never autocrossed, you will love it. You'll learn to do things with your car you never dreamed you could in complete safety. Even more fun is the DE's (drivers education) runs. Motorsport Ranch is really amazing.
Take care,

Um, it wasn't a 2002 Titanium Silver/black 6-speed w/ 30k miles, was it? I bought it on 12/31/2004. And you're right, I can't believe I've been missing out this whole time!
Quote:
I've actually done Maverick Region DE's a few times in the past, but I've got a membership at MSR now. I haven't gone in a year and a half though. I do need to fix that.
///Michael
weird. i'm another M3 to c4s guy.
great, smooth.... commuter car. very comfortable, but wasn't nearly as special as the 911 experience and i gotta say the 911 gets WAAAAY more attn and i thought the m3 attracted a great deal.
i love the way the e46 m3 looks. such a bulldog stance. square. i wouldn't mind have a cab version of it with the same wheels and suspension i had on mine. would look insane.

what up pimpin
thank you for the comments on the photo's. I didnt take em, my Vdub boys took em (they know all those settings and ****, SLR blah blah blah...)
I took the Pcar in a little different direction which kinda defeats the purpose but really, i live in Chicago the third largest city in the USA. I have no time for a track or autocrossing. If i did track it, i would just use the stock wheels.
since ive always been into the VIP styling of JDM rides and the Euro look of Vdubs i wanted to incorporate that a little into the S.
So I decided to use a set of new Dunlop tires i had left over from my E46 M3 (yes i am also a E46 to 996 convert) and stretch the tires on my wheels. took off the 315's and now riding 275/30/19 in the rear and have 225/30/19 in the front. I also picked up spacers and pushed the front and rears out a little more to give it that aggressive stance. I also lowered it on the PSS9's to get the fend gap just right.
car doesnt rub at all, unless i have a fat *** in the car (thats my one friend, he is 6'3 over 300lbs though). other than that, fronts are good and rears a even better. if your wondering why one side is red (like the way i bought them) and one side is black (gloss black lip) its because they GOT ME.....
the valet at the club, they curbed my wheels =(.
pics of my old M3:
