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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
