That is good fake. all the proportion are wrong, and if anyone needs to know, one thing that is pretty hard to fake on ferrari externally is the shield on the front guard in metal, they are embosed into the sheet metal and the badge is stuck on and clear coated over so removal is not an option.

One question I wanted to asked is why were they using fake ferraris? as I didn't watch the show.

thats why they arent on gran turismo, ferrari didnt want them being crashed on a game

A couple of things

Ferrari had already licensed a game house to use their marque, and the exclusive clause would have prohibited Polyphony from getting access. It's also why no Porsche appears in any Gran Turismo game; Polyphony did an end-run around Porsche by licensing RUF (who do their own VIN plates) instead.

Gran Turismo has no car damage, which is at the request of manufacturers who didn't want to see their cars appear broken in the game and then have the realism-addicted designers put a comparative price on repairing their cars.

Secondly, Ferrari is in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and should appear in the full game when it's released.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
