Long story short, I got devo, by my local "boutique" car dealer this arvo. I've been waiting for 14 months and was due to take deliver in the 3rd quarter of this year. So what happens, I got called to a meeting and was told that the waiting time has gone from 9 or so months left to over 3 YEARS from today. Aprarent the US is demanding more cars, so we pov ass Australians market loses out. F8cking Italians. I wish they were as efficient as some of the Japanese makers, where you can order a car and get it delivered with 6 months.

I hope it get here before we runs out of fossil fuel.

Car is a F430 " I hope no one thinks I'm being a show pony, this is the only forum I can actually say things and have decent responds from ppls and not some 25.y.o knobs trying to be a keyboard warrior, and my identity is also safe here. " Anyway the original order was placed in late 2003, I'm no. 22 on a list of about 60 odd ppls, lol. Anyway as dangerous daveo said I've already placed standing order for the new replacement F450 in 2009"supposedly" when I placed the order for the F430. Having owned past models, This is the first time a waiting period have blown out in numbers of year and not months.

When ever it get here it wanna be really good. I'm hoping it is.

and my identity is also safe here.

Hello mr beattie, nice to see our tax dollars hard at work :)

You know you can buy ferarris as JAP imports, an issue of hpi had one,maybe you could try that? or must it be brand new??

i still dont know what car that is :(

You really need to get out more dude :)

Anyway...

Every review I have seen on those cars they just say its the greatest thing in the world, any ferrari being who they are dont tend to go backwards with new models, its just a steady line upwards.

All I can say is, are you married?

I have seen one around here in Sydney (convertible), so some have arrived. My business partners brother is also on the waiting list for one after smashing his 360 last year, and the inital wait was 12 months.

Any new ferrari is double the price if you want one straight away....

We are only 3% of the car market world wide.... Maby that has something to do with it....

Some guy in dubai would probablly pay an extra 200g's to get it next week.... LOL

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
