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

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
