Spotted - QLD Skyline Owners

Was pretty sure the enzo couldn't be road registered in QLD and possibly Australia. Could be wrong though.

Arh yes you speak the truth....

It could not be registered in standard format. Due to its pure performance design it did not comply with our laws due to exhaust pollution and noise. Also the car is made of complete carbon fibre except the body with is mostly fibre glass and composite materials. Major mods would have to be made to get it registered in QLD or Aus for that matter.

But with the money to buy one ($2 mill) then you can afford the 50 odd grand i assume it would cost to modify. Im sure you wont see a monster tacho in an enzo tho.

I saw BAO 82, R34 GTT in either midnight purple or black on the way home from work at 6:30am on Cav Rd. It's always good when Skyline Owners end up lined up at lights to have a chat.

Where'd you get 120 from? 399 were made, then just this year Ferrari made one more to be auctioned off to aid the Tsunami victims.

Sorry.... They made 120 in the first batch (pre-ordered) I didnt read the whole thing.

The enzo i saw is not really an enzo. Its a kit car. You can buy one as a turn key package for around 120g's with a real ferrari motor. I had a customer today who builds cobra's and clubmans.... He was very helpful. He said he could build one if a wanted but it would be very expensive due to the cost of the plans. Plus you need the panels which are produced in the US and their worth half the price of the car.

So sorry... I was jaw dropped when i saw it and it sounded like a ferrari. So i assumed it was the real deal. He said there are a few kicking around and will become a common seen once the price on the kit comes down.

Oh ok, so it wasnt an enzo then :P

Ferrari asked people to buy them anyway, I think there were only 1 or 2 people here that were on 'the list'.

But if it doesnt have a 'race' button, then it aint an enzo!

I saw lots of skylines today, but I was in Sydney again, so I got NO idea of the street names.

Hmm that's odd. I thought Ferrari were always going to produce 349 of them but announced later another 50 due to popular demand. Anyway, the kit car thing sounds interesting. Especially since Ferrari went on a suing spree a few years back for kitcar manufacturers and practically wiped out a lot of them. In particular the 250 GTO replica kits based on the S30 shell... Anyway, I tried googling but found nothing. Do you have any links about this Enzo kit car? Do you know what Ferrari engine it uses?

I dont know where to start looking. Maby call a kit car builder and ask them about it. Yes it was always planned to build an odd number of cars. Then the extra one disrupted they nirvana of the car. Some still say on the ferrari owners club it should have never been done.

But quite frankly i dont care.... 399-400 whats the difference.

Just means more chance of seeing one driving down the road.

As for the motor. Like any kit car you could adapt it to any engine. Ie. If you were on a budget then you may use a LS1 engine or something. Like once i wired a clubman kit car with an sr20det engine. Instead of the usuall 4age toyote motor generally used.

Why would anyone spend 120 thou on a replica Ferrari?

Let alone anyone on here!!!!

    • There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.
    • That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
