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

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
