Now thats a sexy 599 :)

F40's are balls out nuts!

But for pure sexyness, 599 takes it out for me easily.

Balistic Fez models aside, 599 to me is prob one of the best the jumping horsy has ever produced.

Yeah I hate the standard star-spoke pentagram rims. 599 with the optional rims looks the goods:

Don't usually like modded Ferraris, but this one I wouldn't kick out of my garage:

Yeah, not bad... I think I prefer the Novitec Rosso ones though. Is everyone a fan of the black wheels trend? Esp. with the white body? For me it works on some things like a white LP640 but I think it's done a bit too often

F40 was never about having brains, it is unashamedly about a heap of horsepower NO weight, and it's upto you to stay out of the scenery. To me it is the fact that it's objective was so raw, and so perfectly executed. "Whats that you want aircon?" well slide this bit of lexan back... Steering too heavy? Do weights. Passenger wants to converse while driving? Well here's your excuse to leave the bitch on the side of the road... I would sell my left nut, and any other body part for an F40.

Ferrari 599 GTO just looks so right in black..... I dont think red suits the 599 as well as some of the other colours

The F40 is an amazing car, but the front bugs me. For its time period but, its still a nice car

And your on a skyline forum? Do we not spend stupid amounts of money on a vehicle. Most people look at us for being stupid and wasting bucket loads of money on a car. They just have a lot more to play with.

An F40 is just a 288GTO Evolution built to a later timescale and to no purpose other than to seperate rich idiots from their money. So pretty much like all Ferraris then.

Anyway the base 288 was the business the evo was butt ugly.

Didn't know it was based on that model,

I'm not gonna argue with you about Ferrari's, I have better things to do.

I know I'd love to be behind the wheel of the last 'pure' ferrari made under Enzo Ferrari with the v8 twin turbo, an I'm sure ALL true performance car enthusiasts would.

Yes it appears I am.

Things people know about the F40.

1. It looks pretty.

2. It does 200MPH.

3. It uses carbon fibre/kevlar.

Things most people dont care about:

1. It has a horrible 1950s technology steel space frame chassis. Welding is done by Mr Blobby.

2. The carbon does stuff all - no different to the fibreglass Ferrari used for many, many years. It is not structural in other words.

Basically Ferraris are, historically, poorly engineered, poorly built, unreliable and handle badly.

What I cant figure out is why so many people think so highly of them. Put the engineering of a McLaren up against a Ferrari & Ferrari gets thumped. Put the innovation of Lotus against them, same result. Put the build quility of a Porker up against them - same again. And so it goes. The only car maker with such a deeply flawed product is Bugatti. Ok maybe Maybach aswell but that is beside the point.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
