I'd like to have a lamborghini Murcielago or an Aston Martin DB9 sitting in my garage before I considered a Ferrari.

That being said, if you can afford any of them, chances are you can afford all 3 of them :)

Ah if only we could get paid for wise quotes haha :P

Cheers bro!

could've been worse. a big set of chrome dinnerplates would've made it look real bad. i don't know why people put big, almost solid chrome wheels on their car. doesn't help brake ventilation, and adds a bucket load of weight onto the car.

and i'm not a big fan of huge wheels with very little sidewalls. the roads wher i live are pretty crap, and i've been in a skyline on 18's and that was bad enough. 20" wheels with no sidewall give would rattle your teeth out, and probably not be round for too long round here. first pot hole you have to get a new rim.

put HRE or iForged, it will look tough as...anyway if i can afford a ferrari i dont mind losing 20 -30 grand if i want to make it looks better or different. i've seen hamann ferrari..geez that thing is awsome!!

looks alright i reckon, fark id drive it with the 22s on the street then the stockys on the track...

would be racing with those rims! even though the car is totally engineered a simple mod like that makes it stand out from the crowd

FFS it is only a set of rims. If you have the money why not? You can change em back if you want.

LOL @ the 'made it' comment as if you only buy a Ferrari for a penis extension not cause might actually like them. Smacks of jealousy. People I know (family members etc) who have Ferraris have certainly made it, and buy whatever the f**k they want, their penis is would already be extended because they can afford the surgery if they want that!! Ferraris, $1m boats, multi million dollar houses. Whatever. It is a different lifestyle and only people who don't understand it make comments like that. :laughing-smiley-014:

ETA: Read the Ferrari forums with people modifying F40s etc. Same thinking as us modifying Skylines, they just have a bit more cash. :ninja:

Well he just decreased the value of that car buy 20 or 30 thousand.

Considering the cost of the vehicle itself and then the wheels also. Do you think that sort of money would really phase the owner. I sure as hell dont.

That is still like 8% of the car, it would phase the owner in my opinion. But it's only rims, which can be changed back to standard if wanted/needed. But I seriously doubt it would have such an effect on resale on the whole to be honest.

i saw a red f430 in the metal in doncaster, and damn was it an absolute work of art.

BTW, i understand people disagreeing with the rims, but i don't understand bagging high priced euro exotics and their owners. whats up with that?

yeah man putting mags on a ferrari is the stupidest thing ever it's the biggest wank factor thing ever, hopefully it's not your car cause u just lost like 20-30 grand easy on that stupid lil move there. as they say you pay the money for a complete package why ruin it, especially with a dodgy designed wheel

Changing to aftermarket wheels does not affect the resale value of the Ferrari or any other exotics. Ferrari owners in Europe and America spend big bucks to get properly forged or magnisium 20inch + wheels, Tubi exhaust, DMS ECU flash from serious big budget aftermarket tunners, not your backyard jetspeed or Tempe! Thats how their modify their cars and yes, they do modify them!

Any red blooded man modifys his car no matter if its a Honda Civic or Lamborgini Mucielagol. Its about individuality, making your Ferrari look, sound and drive different from everyother Ferraris on the road (exotic cars are surprisingly quite common in rich parts of the world). Same concept as us Skyline owners just different pocket size, unfortunately :P

Have to agree with you here man. The Hamann F430 is awesome.

If I had the money, I'd do this for sure! :)

Want more pics? I got plenty :P

ferari = 400k

r34 gtr with shitloads of mods = 150k

r34 would blow it out of the water then and still have money left over for a nice house lol

if u can afford aferrari then i dont think u would be worrying about a house mate

most ferrari owners probably own 3 or 4 houses me reckons

a ferrari is a status thing a gtr is not. not even a z tune

your comparing apples to oranges mate

ferrari v gtr

obviously the gtr is faster but it doesny compare to the italian land mark. i dont think a ferrari owner would really care if a gtr could beat him because even though a every third person on the street would look at your r34 gtr and say oooohhh thats nice. every single person on the street would look at your ferrari and say f**k me thats nice wish i had one

and the wheels r gay. leave the stockies

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
