I thought the f40s couldn't be rego'd in aus for some reason, any comments? I've only ever seen 1 and that was at the f1gp in melbourne (no plates)

anything can get registered in Oz aslong as it complies with the rules...

Saw a white R35 with black rims last night on Kent Street, Sydney. It was rolling up to the lights and I went bezerk "OH MY GOD!!!!!!"

He stopped at the lights, heard me screaming....light turned green, and he hammered it down. Sounded like he has an aftermarket exhaust setup.

I creamed my pants. Literally.

The Mrs wasn't happy.

You cannot register an F40 on any Australian Roads. Take a quick read below. Quote from 360c from Aussie Exotics, who owns a F50.

They can't be used on Australian roads LEGALLY on permits, trade plates or anything else- end of story no matter what anybody tells you.

It's one of those "it isn't a problem until it's a problem and then it's a MAJOR PROBLEM" situations. The only time I have legally used my F50 on the road was a special use permit for the Ferrari 60th Birthday parade. Even then it had to go to the head of the department at Vicroads for sign off and I had a defined route, start time and end time for the permit. All other permits are specifically for the purpose of getting the car registered and as there is no way to get it registered, doing that has no legal standing.

Every time you see one of these cars on the roads it isn't there legally. The driver had better hope that he doesn't have an accident, especially if someone is injured.

It is illegal to drive them on trade plates too. Just because you see them on trade plates doesn't mean it's legal.

Spotted a Ferrari F140 this morning in Turramurra...

I knew it was an F140 due to my incredible Ferrari knowledge that I've displayed in this thread before, and cause the rego was 'F140'.

It had 2 rounds tail lights in total, looked new, and pretty shit... looked kinda gay like the new Ferrari California or whatever...

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
