How many other owners of that model there (if any) do you reckon had greedy thoughts about their now even rarer car going up in value?

over 11 000 examples of the 355 produced, it is the most common Ferrari and I doubt loosing even 1000 would make a price difference.

Ferrari's are awesome. Its the people that own them bring the reputation down. (LMAO, seem to hear that a lot lately about many a topic)

Its not a car's fault, it is ALWAYS the owners fault, same can be said about skyline drivers, and i can assure you there are more cockheads driving around in skylines in australia than there have been Ferrari's made EVER.

And FYI a car will NEVER be impounded for an accident like that, the driver will get a neg drive like any other driver. And it doesn't look like speed was a factor, looks more like the driver pressed the brake and accelerator at the same time after the back end had already started to step out (which could be caused by anything from uneven road surface, leaves on the road dont forget it is autumn, wet/dry patches on the road, oil ect...)

"OK, now its time for my offical statement as the owner of this car:

Coming out of the park, i turned left. After traveling slowly for about 40m, i accelerated and the back end broke traction. I tried to correct and then went for the brakes. The brake and accelerator pedals are so close to together that my foot actually pressed both the brake pedal and accelerator. The car spun and hit the parked cars with great force. I was shaken, but my body did not hit anything inside the car.

I had the car taken back to its storage home, and will be taken to the panel shop in the morning for repair.

Thank god no one was hurt."

Its not a car's fault, it is ALWAYS the owners fault

Don't think it was Seb Buemi's fault when his front suspension collapsed under braking at 200mph at Shanghai... ... it could be the mechanic's fault :)

But yeah, of course it's the driver's fault 95% of the time for either lack of skill, judgement, and/or not maintaining the car correctly

An earlier poster on that thread said he was there with his wife and child. Hope they came in a separate car? F355 only seats 2. I also shuddered a bit when I read his forum username. Sh*ts me to tears when I see people of my race perpetuating the stereotype.

he should have to take it home, sit in in the driveway and think about what he did.. and then part it out like the rest of us shmucks that "f#%k up" to pay off the loan and have to drive a shitter around.

:( BEST COMMENT HERE! :P

thats why we get comprehensive insurance.... and a skyline in the same situation would have no more than a dent that could be sucked out in 5 minutes.

What was a nice 355. The 355 would be one of the hardest car to keep straight in the wet. when you think you have enough skills to let one lose, it then reminds you that your life and public liability insurance isnt big enough. LOL at the asian driver stereotype comment. I just love Ferrari haters until they find the dollars to get in one.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
