Parked in Earlwood was this F355 GTS - still one of the prettiest (and by far one of the best sounding) Ferraris ever made IMO.

funny story about that one :) that poor F355 is the biggest lemon made for city driving (typical early 90's ferarri) :P always see him broken down in petersham, fanning the bonnet :P can't expect a supercar like that to do well in traffic conditions though

completely agree with the look and sound though, actually looks like a ferrari unlike more current models :)

Really... Man I thought by that stage ('94-'99) they were more or less pretty robust, much better than earlier models 456 and 348. All relative I suppose. "always fanning the bonnet" lol

Fanning the bonnet?

Engine is in the boot, and fanning wouldn't make a difference.

They arn't known to over-heat in traffic (not to say that it wouldn't but it is about a 15 year old car now...)

I spotted a Ferrari of some description tonight on Fitzwilliam Road in Toongabbie, of all places. I almost wouldn't have noticed it at all if I didn't have my window down as it drove past, but that sound is unmistakeable and I then looked in the mirror to see the tail lights.

Hmmm, today I saw a dark blue Maserati in roughly the same spot along Fitzwilliam Rd, so I'm wondering if it's the same person as last time.

Spotted this beauty in Hurstville.... worship.gif

It went up for sale last week, I don't know what the owner is doing with it? So far I have seen it all over sydney and others have seen it around as well so i'd imagine it has quite a lot of km's on it already for a car that was complied this year and first registered on the 19th of January (nearly 3 months old and already up for sale).

Maybe the owner realised he couldn't afford the repayments on a riced up version of an exotic? The white is different and good in it's own right, but it doesn't show off the lines and curves of the car, and the black roof just looks stupid, it is just paint not carbon fibre or anything special.

A great car that has been molested (and only 3 months old :/ ) Poor car

awww, what a waste! Makes you think what kind of other cars his/her has wasted.

Not really a supercar, but the engine is anyway.

Picked up a new daily driver yesterday, got rid of the Nazi CLS for an Alies made car.

6.0 litre W12 cylinder twin turbo.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
