I'd like to have a lamborghini Murcielago or an Aston Martin DB9 sitting in my garage before I considered a Ferrari.

That being said, if you can afford any of them, chances are you can afford all 3 of them :)

Ah if only we could get paid for wise quotes haha :P

Cheers bro!

could've been worse. a big set of chrome dinnerplates would've made it look real bad. i don't know why people put big, almost solid chrome wheels on their car. doesn't help brake ventilation, and adds a bucket load of weight onto the car.

and i'm not a big fan of huge wheels with very little sidewalls. the roads wher i live are pretty crap, and i've been in a skyline on 18's and that was bad enough. 20" wheels with no sidewall give would rattle your teeth out, and probably not be round for too long round here. first pot hole you have to get a new rim.

put HRE or iForged, it will look tough as...anyway if i can afford a ferrari i dont mind losing 20 -30 grand if i want to make it looks better or different. i've seen hamann ferrari..geez that thing is awsome!!

looks alright i reckon, fark id drive it with the 22s on the street then the stockys on the track...

would be racing with those rims! even though the car is totally engineered a simple mod like that makes it stand out from the crowd

FFS it is only a set of rims. If you have the money why not? You can change em back if you want.

LOL @ the 'made it' comment as if you only buy a Ferrari for a penis extension not cause might actually like them. Smacks of jealousy. People I know (family members etc) who have Ferraris have certainly made it, and buy whatever the f**k they want, their penis is would already be extended because they can afford the surgery if they want that!! Ferraris, $1m boats, multi million dollar houses. Whatever. It is a different lifestyle and only people who don't understand it make comments like that. :laughing-smiley-014:

ETA: Read the Ferrari forums with people modifying F40s etc. Same thinking as us modifying Skylines, they just have a bit more cash. :ninja:

Well he just decreased the value of that car buy 20 or 30 thousand.

Considering the cost of the vehicle itself and then the wheels also. Do you think that sort of money would really phase the owner. I sure as hell dont.

That is still like 8% of the car, it would phase the owner in my opinion. But it's only rims, which can be changed back to standard if wanted/needed. But I seriously doubt it would have such an effect on resale on the whole to be honest.

i saw a red f430 in the metal in doncaster, and damn was it an absolute work of art.

BTW, i understand people disagreeing with the rims, but i don't understand bagging high priced euro exotics and their owners. whats up with that?

yeah man putting mags on a ferrari is the stupidest thing ever it's the biggest wank factor thing ever, hopefully it's not your car cause u just lost like 20-30 grand easy on that stupid lil move there. as they say you pay the money for a complete package why ruin it, especially with a dodgy designed wheel

Changing to aftermarket wheels does not affect the resale value of the Ferrari or any other exotics. Ferrari owners in Europe and America spend big bucks to get properly forged or magnisium 20inch + wheels, Tubi exhaust, DMS ECU flash from serious big budget aftermarket tunners, not your backyard jetspeed or Tempe! Thats how their modify their cars and yes, they do modify them!

Any red blooded man modifys his car no matter if its a Honda Civic or Lamborgini Mucielagol. Its about individuality, making your Ferrari look, sound and drive different from everyother Ferraris on the road (exotic cars are surprisingly quite common in rich parts of the world). Same concept as us Skyline owners just different pocket size, unfortunately :P

Have to agree with you here man. The Hamann F430 is awesome.

If I had the money, I'd do this for sure! :)

Want more pics? I got plenty :P

ferari = 400k

r34 gtr with shitloads of mods = 150k

r34 would blow it out of the water then and still have money left over for a nice house lol

if u can afford aferrari then i dont think u would be worrying about a house mate

most ferrari owners probably own 3 or 4 houses me reckons

a ferrari is a status thing a gtr is not. not even a z tune

your comparing apples to oranges mate

ferrari v gtr

obviously the gtr is faster but it doesny compare to the italian land mark. i dont think a ferrari owner would really care if a gtr could beat him because even though a every third person on the street would look at your r34 gtr and say oooohhh thats nice. every single person on the street would look at your ferrari and say f**k me thats nice wish i had one

and the wheels r gay. leave the stockies

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
