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.

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 :)

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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
