Now thats a sexy 599 :)

F40's are balls out nuts!

But for pure sexyness, 599 takes it out for me easily.

Balistic Fez models aside, 599 to me is prob one of the best the jumping horsy has ever produced.

Yeah I hate the standard star-spoke pentagram rims. 599 with the optional rims looks the goods:

Don't usually like modded Ferraris, but this one I wouldn't kick out of my garage:

Yeah, not bad... I think I prefer the Novitec Rosso ones though. Is everyone a fan of the black wheels trend? Esp. with the white body? For me it works on some things like a white LP640 but I think it's done a bit too often

F40 was never about having brains, it is unashamedly about a heap of horsepower NO weight, and it's upto you to stay out of the scenery. To me it is the fact that it's objective was so raw, and so perfectly executed. "Whats that you want aircon?" well slide this bit of lexan back... Steering too heavy? Do weights. Passenger wants to converse while driving? Well here's your excuse to leave the bitch on the side of the road... I would sell my left nut, and any other body part for an F40.

Ferrari 599 GTO just looks so right in black..... I dont think red suits the 599 as well as some of the other colours

The F40 is an amazing car, but the front bugs me. For its time period but, its still a nice car

And your on a skyline forum? Do we not spend stupid amounts of money on a vehicle. Most people look at us for being stupid and wasting bucket loads of money on a car. They just have a lot more to play with.

An F40 is just a 288GTO Evolution built to a later timescale and to no purpose other than to seperate rich idiots from their money. So pretty much like all Ferraris then.

Anyway the base 288 was the business the evo was butt ugly.

Didn't know it was based on that model,

I'm not gonna argue with you about Ferrari's, I have better things to do.

I know I'd love to be behind the wheel of the last 'pure' ferrari made under Enzo Ferrari with the v8 twin turbo, an I'm sure ALL true performance car enthusiasts would.

Yes it appears I am.

Things people know about the F40.

1. It looks pretty.

2. It does 200MPH.

3. It uses carbon fibre/kevlar.

Things most people dont care about:

1. It has a horrible 1950s technology steel space frame chassis. Welding is done by Mr Blobby.

2. The carbon does stuff all - no different to the fibreglass Ferrari used for many, many years. It is not structural in other words.

Basically Ferraris are, historically, poorly engineered, poorly built, unreliable and handle badly.

What I cant figure out is why so many people think so highly of them. Put the engineering of a McLaren up against a Ferrari & Ferrari gets thumped. Put the innovation of Lotus against them, same result. Put the build quility of a Porker up against them - same again. And so it goes. The only car maker with such a deeply flawed product is Bugatti. Ok maybe Maybach aswell but that is beside the point.

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
