As exiting as it is for me to have someone on the forum who is awsum enough to apparently have a Ferrari, let me just say:

A) If you have such an issue with Nissans and Japanese cars in general, join a Ferrari Forum

B) Find me evidence of a Ferrari with a 5 star safety rating....

Interestingly, NCAP 2009 top five does have a Euro car on top

http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf...A2576BA000EDCD8

Followed by 2 Japanese cars (2+3), then a Korean (4), with another Japanese and 2 Euros coming in equal 5th.. so of the 7 cars in the top 5, 3 are Japanese, 3 are European, and one is korean, making it 4 Asian cars all up... NO Italians, 1 German....

Further to that, suggesting that saving weight reduces crumple zones and strength... Crumple Zones are a designed weak spot, which is in actual fact a direct opposite to strenght.

+1

Good luck to ANCAP getting a Ferrari for crash testing purposes in this country. Its funny when you read through the back of Top Gear AU magazine there is no crash test info on any of the supercar manufacturers, whether it be Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche or Aston Martin. I must say props to Audi though for letting the people at ANCAP destroy an R8, now thats commitment to safety.

In the quest for speed, sacrifices are made to weight reduction, most of the sacrifices reduce the strength and crumple zone of super cars. The Italians and Germans have done it right. By the looks of this car Toyota has forgotten about safety to build a stupidly quick car. In the end that is what you have to expect can happen when travelling high speeds in any car. A helmet can improve the chance of survival, but it doesn't mean you can survive big crashes...

grow up mate... no one wants to read that kind of elitist shit on here...

go find a ferrari fanboi forum where comments like that will earn you a reacharound from a rich fag while you all bukakki some hundred dollar bills

+11ty. what a homo.

what are you doing on a nissan forum anyway?

and this is your sig?

The car brand I support puts it's profits into motor Racing and stimulating their local economy to make more pasta, your car brand puts their profit into PR campaigns and the killing of whales...

shouldnt you be prancing around somewhere, trying to buy friends/respect?

Seriously? You are going to judge the absolute safety of the millions of cars made in Germany/Japan on one accident involving a single vehicle from each country? And also the safety of all Italian cars as well, how this is even the slightest bit relevent I'm not sure though.

The cabin of the LFA doesn't even look that bad, no visibly worse than the BMW cabin to me. I'd wager that the differing outcomes for the Lexus driver and the BMW drivers has more to do with bad luck, or maybe the fact that the lexus test driver was a frail 67 years old.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
