Probably a repost, but it's still cool...

The legendary Ferrari F40 supercar has celebrated its 20th anniversary in real style this year with a series of very spectacular events held across Western Europe and North America; and now Japan has got in on the act with an event held at Mount Fuji.

When it was introduced in 1987 (with its production of 1,315 units running through to 1992) the F40 was the fastest, most powerful and most expensive Ferrari sportscar ever to come out of the gates of Maranello factory.

The 'no compromise' F40 with its potent 2.9 litre V8 twin turbo engine has since then entered Ferrari 'folklaw' and its 20th anniversary celebrations this year, running alongside the marque's 60th anniversary programme, has seen a string of events being held to honour the timeless supercar. One of the celebratory events was the showing 40 cars that Ferrari GB and the Ferrari Owners' Club gathered together at Silverstone this summer, the red coloured cars then parading round the famous circuit.

As the year draws to a conclusion it is the turn of Japanese owners to come together this month with a spectacular display of these awesome machines. In superb weather conditions on 2nd December, no less than 36 F40s, including several examples of the F40 LM race-bred version, gathered for a trip down the expressway to Mount Fuji, delighting onlookers who had turned out to see this glorious cavalcade in motion of what is regarded as Ferrari's most evocative modern day sportscars.

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
