I've mostly had people tell me it looks similar to a volvo but they can't place it. Only once had someone directly call it a Volvo but they weren't surprised at all when I said it wasn't one.

Still need to order my VOLVO and 1.3L badges.

friend's sister called my black RS Four S a hearse

get so many puzzled looks when people pull up next to it at the lights (not many around my area)

surprised a few Commodore drivers on the weekend (who tried to cut in from the outside where the lane ended)

i'm loving it

Yeah, I surprised someone in a falcon the other day on the way home from work. Tool was going 70kph in an 80kph zone and it changes to double lanes around all the roundabouts. Absoloutely smashed him going through the bend. He gave me the thumbs up though so he wasn't to bad.

I was speaking to the bloke who lives around the corner from me that has a M35 Autech Axis Stag, as we were discussing the finer points of the cars he just comes out with, "but yours looks like a volvo" :P

i was visiting scotty_nm35 today and i went for a snack to maccas and two guys were eyeing off my car. (mind u, one had cross tatooes under each eye..wtf?)

when i came back to my car they walked over and were like. dude nice ride.. thats one hot looking "VOLVO"

hahaha,

Pulled up to the service station today, filled my car up.

Went inside to pay and the service attendant said, "i like your souped up volvo mate, i've never ever seen one like that before"...

I started laughing, he's like whats so funny?sorry to correct you mate but it's a nissan stagea, He's like "it's a what"? haha

the other night we stopped at a roadside kebab shop and these four guys started arguing over what my stagea was, one of them even walked around the car looking for a badge but as my car car has no badges he turned to his mate and says:

"im telling you man its a four door chaser wagon" LoL

mat says " nah it cant be"

He says " mate i know my chasers and this is a chaser"

this is the shortened version of events but how the hell does a stagea look anything like a bloody chaser :)

we pulled over the other night to help a guy who'd broken down and while he was waiting for us to get a bottle of water out the back he goes "Oh boy! Is this a Volvo?.. Nice!" He said it with so much enthusiasm and seemed genuinely disappointed when we told him it was a Stagea :D

My wife was driving the stag around yesterday and pulled up in the RH lane next to some jerk in a VT/VX/VY commodore who asked her to wind down the window then promptly started abusing her telling her that f#@!n wagons should be in the left hand lane blah blah blah. She just told the guy "Dont talk about what you dont know"...

Then when the light went green she showed him just what this "slow" wagon could do...leaving him for dead (despite his best efforts to keep up). The loser was so embarrassed he took off down a side street so that he didn't have to stop next to her again at the next set of lights.

haha :)

He's right . .volvo's are a different size. . lol

Picked my 260RS up on Tuesday night. I had owned it for exactly one hour and the servo attendant said, "nice looking Subaru there, what model is it?" lmoa. I havnt had the Volvo comments yet, but in the week I've had it, 3 mates have looked and gone, "omg its a hearse, why did you buy a hearse?", I reply with, "cos it has an RB26 and full GTR driveline.... :) " "...oh, I see"

i pulled up outside my house the other day and my neighbour over the road goes "what is that?" i say "a nissan mate" to which he replied "never seen anything like it before"

i smiled

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
