Someone I was talking to the other day suggested, that it might be both quicker and cheaper to jump on a plane, and deal direct with ferrari. No idea if its true. But if you havent looked at it might be the way to go?

You certainly sound like you're prepared to wait and I have no doubt you'll love the car. Infact, you have an RS6 to cruise around in for the moment, that's cool enough for most of us :P

Your only options are get something else or wait... i'd wait personally, not much else on the market that is as good in my opinion.

Funny how ppls get the impression that a H pattern box is a real box, European love this box. It's the old school box in my book and it damn slow to boot, also resale of H pattern box on a Ferrari is some what about $50 000 less than you would pay for a F1 box, although as a new car option, it's only $25 000. Also Dave, Ferrari don't deal with privateer, unless you run a race team. I've looked into bringing one in from o/s. Too many problems.

Just for the record, as implied in another post, I'm not a drug dealer. The profession doesn't make enough money, well atleast here in Oz. anyway, and I like my freedom in life.

well I would love to see it when it does arrive then as they are one beautiful car and just listening to the engine is better than any music you could wish for. I admire the fact that you are getting one and that you have had to work for it as it will mean you will appreciate it more. Hope to meet you on a cruise one day

this isnt that bad an idea.

or possibly try find one available in Europe/UK.

I have a friend who has imported my Japanese cars for me.

And has imported some exotica from HongKong etc.

Hes off to London in a week to pick up a GT2 from over there.

If your after something so hard to get, its defo worth looking into...

Or just try and find an alternative...

:P

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
