Forgive me Ferrari, Theres only one other car that touches my heart other than Skylines, and thats the F40.

I love my Ferrari's i never ever talk down about them, but as of recently they are bringing out let down after let down.

Personally i think out of the modern Ferari's the Enzo should have been designed similar to the F40/50 and named the obvious name of F60, cause i bet you Enzo himself is spewing in his grave. (although i think its a great car in its own respects, nothing wrong with it at all, but to call it an Enzo???!)

Secondly out of the modern Ferrari's the F430 and the 612 Scaglliette (Forgive me if i spelt it wrong) should be the only ones allowed to see daylight. This new California is a mockery of the old prestigious Ferrari's that once were...

To be put quite simply this contraption (and i use the term lightly in this case since its Ferrari) reminds me of a Porsche Boxter/BMW Z4 from the side pic. A Toyota MR2 (current shape) from the front. And something that Volswagon would think about producing if they decided to bring out a new Beetle from the rear.

Not a fan of soft tops either, i think they take away from the essence of the cars framework.

Although im sure the performance better matches what you pay for. But at the end of the day i think Ferrari is going backwards with all their endeavours, I'd much rather a 35 GTR anyday over any of the current Ferrari's, i'd only take one for the Badge and saying i own a Ferrari, then again, Hand me a F40 or 50 and ill drop my house and everything i have to own that!

Sorry to all those that are fans of the '350 California' and love this car, its just my 2 cents and i think i had to say that, because as a Ferrari die hard fan myself, (i have everything Ferrari cept the car itself lol), i think i had to get this off my chest because Ferrari have been disapointing me time and time again with their developments, hopefully they get back on their horse (no pun intended) and start to give back Ferrari a decent name especially for their loyal customers that will spend anything to get one. :) don't flame me for this! like i said above, love Ferrari....just skeptical about their future as a prestigious car company and where they are heading. On a lighter note i hope they take the constructors championship in F1! :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
