I assume you don't know anyone in Italy ?

Marranello, I think would be pretty hard too get too. Its a basically a very small town based around a race track and the Ferrari Factory and Shops, Museum.

There would have too be transport from Milan or Veronia. Very much worth it.

It is seriously in the middle of no where. One main street. Try and get there around midday, or knock off time, its worth too see all the mechanics in their unforms going home.

If your lucky you might see something running around the track.

When I was in italy I went to Maranello and went to the Museum.

Its pretty cool and all the cars there are not donated by Ferarri, but bought by the museum itself.

It has heaps of new and old cars, heaps of the F1 engines and also heaps of cut aways.

Its pretty cool and worth the while if you are in the area, but i wouldnt make a special trip.

I am not sure if you can go to the "factory" itself. As for getting there, we were in a car so we drove so i cant give any directions or anything, sorry bud.

You can get buses that will connect to maranello from bologna, verona or even Milan or Venice. You will have to connect with more than one bus so take special notes of the bus times especially when returning at night to often over there I got caught out because the last bus left a particualr station at 10.30pm and my bus arrived there at 10.45 and this was the last bus of the night!!! Do you speak Italian? If not try to get it all organised days in advance as just rocking up the day to the station etc could make it really hard for you.

The ferrari museum is ok, just near here is also the Lambo factory which is really cool, and also in the area is maseratti and the ducatii factory

You won't be able to get a tour of the actual factory.

Bus transport from Modena is fairly easy if you are polite with the people at the information desks :(

The museum, shops etc. are worth the visit if you are a bonafied Ferrari freak. The atmosphere is awesome... but to be honest with you I think visiting the Alfa Romeo museum would be a better payoff. Unless, of course, you have time to visit them all!!!

Thanks guys for the replies :)

I've sort of figured out the 2 buses to get to maranello....

title was a bit misleading - you have to have a fezza to actually get a tour of the factory - i don't think a GTR will cut it, unfortunately.

Will still check out the museum on the way through to venice from rome!

cheers

    • Maybe I also should have wrote that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
    • Hence why I said earlier that I don't think the turbo Neos ever would have actually qualified as an LEV. I suspect the only actual LEVs that came out of Nissan were the NA Neos. Still call them all Neos. They all stil have the Neo-ness. Just that they don't all qualify as as LEVs.
    • It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car
