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.

Go Cefiro Powah....

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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
