overtired post just before bed.

couldnt think of anything clever to go with this link

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029691/Mechanics-cheeky-spin-Ferrari-F40-owner-away-ends-300-000-disaster.html

but jesus what is it with these silly buggers not being able to help themselves? off the top of my head i can think of a Veyron getting destroyed by the owners errant younger brother in the UK. a Fezza getting stolen from Crown Casino in melbourne with the assistance of some dopey valets, some cops in the US destroying a Ferrari while 'transporting' it to an impound lot, some other idiot american comedian crashing one at a promo for the awful film Redline..the list goes on im sure..

I dont know about these other guys but if i had one i would keep the keys in a safe when they werent in my pocket or the ignition..

f**king hell. did it have to be another F40. my 2 favourite cars of all time (F40 and Maclaren F1) are dropping like flies at the moment. it's making my chance of owning 1 of each slimmer and slimmer by the day!

funnily enough, the ferrari factory has all the required expertise to fix any of the fezza's that get stacked, like they've currently got going on with their restoration scheme...i don't think that any of the high desirable ones would end up in a scrap yard...if they did, that's just poor motoring...

poor F40 :(

I don't understand how these people crash them, No word of a lie i drove a lambo on my L's. You pretty soon learn to respect a car like that. Do they think they are superman or something.

how does someone crash a hyundai excel? usually a mix of not paying attention and running out of talent. in the case of the mechanic in the ferrari, the story says the car was on original (20 or so years old) tyres. they would be rock hard and have bugger all grip. might as well be driving in the rain on slicks

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

      I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
