I have a few coppers that come into my work as "customers", and they asked me what i had done to my silvia, and i replied, Its a skyline mate, the copper said, "where's the round red taillights???? and yours has four doors? i thought everything jap was a slivia???"

Nuff said.

4 door sleeper..........

*** just as a interesting foot note, he was asking as i had my number plate on the front left of my car which he thought was illegal, when he checked the rules and regs, it clearly states..... "All frontward facing number plates must be in clear view and in an upright position" it is frontward facing and upright and everyone can see it including speed cameras*** He even sent me the part of the RTA which it states just that.

I got pulled over in my ceff 2 years ago for for being very "enthusiastic" thru a roundabout. read down change, clutch kick and full throttle sideways action 270 degrees around the roundabout. the cop was parked on the side of the road on the exit i pulled into.

I drove past him and he gave chase and hit the lights so i pulled over and pooed my pants. I told him I had a momentary lapse of judgement and was sorry for being silly.

He warned me and said if he saw me again it was ticket time. He then asked me what sort of car it was and said it looked nice and it would be a shame to wrap it round a tree ;).

My ceff was black and very low on coilovers 4" exhaust massive frontmount boost, temp and pressure guages, raised bonnet and helmet and fire extinguisher in the back seat.

That was the only attention I got in it othertimes it didn't even get a look in by the cops.

AHAHAHA omg thats hilarious.... did he beat alex in that round?

if so im going to call him now and bag the crap out of him :P

Alex came second i think.

dude...how's the car going??

hurry up and get the vids...i wanna see how the old girl's doing...

cars great man such a pimper mobile with so much power. i am getting it retuned down here by race pace hopefully next month sometime will try and get some vids of it.

yeah thats gold... Most people in other states seemto be chanps at the dorift.. i mean the people... feel free to spread teh love to S.A haha. Our police are going crazy at the moment :D Ahh welll im getting some things done to my car this week and will post new pics by friday.

Never had any sort of car trouble with the cefiro and the law. Once had to produce engineers certificate but that was only because the nice coppers thought I was evading them (I had nfi they were tailing me.. hehe). Had a few other instances where they were lenient.

I don't think the cefiro has enough wankers that own one to give it a bad name like most of the other imports (s13, r32, r33 etc)

hehe my old ceffy looked and was clearly illegal , popo never even glanced twice at it , my 4 door 33 attracts no attention from them and my 32 (inarks old one) doesnt even get a sideways glance :angry:

so id say four doors definately attract less attention :sorcerer:

This is why I got a 'boring looking grandpa car' haha :( I like the fact that the Gloria looks slow but goes like a shower of Sh*t as they say.!! Plus, the handy thing is coz there's not many of them around, people don't know what the hell it is. :)

I've had a couple of people tell me that I should get a nice set of mags and a bigger exhaust. The car would look very different but then it would attract too much attention. I've had 'attention grabbing' cars in the past and it causes too many headaches..

Anyway, that's my rant for now..

Have fun.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
