This F40 has been for sale for aaaaages.

My mate and I were drooling over it a while ago - theres a black F430 as well that looks pretty nice, but nothing compared to this collectors edition F40.

Look at the other cars in his driveway :)

Anyone know what the Australian price was for one of these when new?

I was just wondering if it really is/was a good invelstment (and cant be stuffed using google to find out LOL)

Just thinking if the original price was over 200K then its not a great investment over 17 years. Think what a house that cost 200k 17 years ago would be worth today, (in excess of 1mill).

man..such a nice car that is....jeremy clarkson did a comparison between yesteryear cars and the cars of today...and yeah he was head over heels for the f40....

i was just thinking - if i bought that car, it wouldnt be at 1000 klms for long....i just wouldnt be able to keep it in the garage as a collectors item, id wanna drive it atleast every weekend.....i dunno how these guys resist and not drive it.....

theres a Malaysian business man who lives in Melbourne, he has a F40 and he knows how to use it. Had some video and photos of his private test day at Winton. Have to go through my older Hd's and see if i still have them

Hehehe I'd love to contact the guy to take the car for a test drive :sick:

I would say I am the son of a very wealthy businessman who is going to buy the car as a present for me. I'd hire an actor for 1 hour to play the part of my "wealthy father". And insist the car needs to be tested through the hills :D or better yet at a track to be hired by him.

haha i like your thinking....how about one of us pose as the father and other as son, and we both have to test it :D

Well you will have to be at least 50 to play my father credibly, reason why I thougt about an actor, but hell you could be my brother and we go 50/50 on the actor's fees :)

I did it when I walked into the Lamborghini dealer ship in Melbourne off church st. i think it was.

Walked in with 2 mates like I owned the place and got 1 to call me outside and start screaming "SELL SELL SELL" on the mobile while ur in the middle of the shop. lol great times.

note that there are NO rego number listed on the carsales site and there is no plates seen on the car....

acorrding to australia transport your not aloud to rego these as a daily driven car or as a seasonal rego along with a few other 'supercars'.

i find it funny that there are gtr's out there with more power which are driven daily haha

prob one of the main reason it has such little amount of k's on it.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
