Waiting at the airport for the car dealer to pick us up in the stagea i was checking out / buying, my mate says to me here it comes, i said yer looks pretty clean hey, got closer and it ended up being a volvo :unsure:

Had my Stagea for about a month now and have been told it looks like a hearse 3 times already :P

Don't worry I still get the Volvo/Hearse reference all the time...I even make fun of it because it's a laugh...especially if some says "What is it???" My brother as a joke brought me the Volvo SIPS sticker for the rear windows...I put on his car instead...lol

I make an effort to park near a funeral home in Penrith and another in Emu Plains whenever I can...

Hilarious watching people try to look through the tint.:whistling:

LOL, that's hilarious - and a little sad if it says anything about the owners that Skylines are attracting.

Hahaha, you should yell out "Hey, show some respect for the deceased..." and see what their reaction is.

Maybe hide in the back, then leap out at a strategic moment :whistling:

Zombie Stagea driver?

Had a conversation with my 37 year old cousin.

Uncle: My next door neighbour has the same car as you, but in blue.

me: Cool what badge does it have?

Uncle: I dont know but it said V70.

Me: Thats a volvo.

Uncle: Yeh? so is yours.

me: Mines a Nissan.

Uncle: but its the same as your car.

(Argument)

Uncle: I bet you $50 that its the same as yours

me(Hesitant): ahhh ok..

Walked outside.

Result.. With the $50.00 + about $20.00 of my own.. I bought some Nulon AT Trans fluid so me n scott can service our Transfer cases and atteza systems lol I owe scott a favour.

Went to a friend of a friend's today (who "loves skylines" apparently) and the usual "nice volvo" comes out. So rather than argue about the fact i said "yeah its suprising what a good job turtle wax does for your paint". *insert confused look from the guy who obviously wanted me to bite

"What ya mean" he goes

"Well it used to weigh 13tons, be a differnt shape and only have a top speed of 47km/h- kinda like the ad"

"huh?" not having any clue what im talking about

So i showed him a picture of my work vehicle-post-78650-0-73422000-1294724505_thumb.jpg

Then said" Yeah it even got rid of that crappy volvo badge and replaced it with a nissan one ,good stuff that wax!"

Took him a bit to get up to speed the poor bloke

Not really a Volvo story, but,

Went to got drop my car off at a work shop to get some work done, And the work form i had to sign had "Nissan Stagger"??

Also get the constant remarks at work that the C34 looks like a V70 Volvo, And even the SV21 Camry???

Had my wife's young cousin stay for a couple of nights over Australia Day holiday.

First thing he said was "Hi", quickly followed by "Nice Volvo". Ignorant little bugger.

But he made it all up to me when I was playing GT5 against my mate who was driving his dark blue V35 GT-8 (he owns one so needed to buy it).

"Why is that guy driving a Tiida?" he asked, just loud enough for my mate to hear it through his headset which sent him crazy!

Needless to say, my mate now drives a Tiida :rofl2:

It's nice to have some ammo that trumps the "Volvo" comments.

I pulled up alongside a Volvo wagon last week in basically the same colour, (burgundy), and thought a photo of the 2 cars together with the caption "Same same" would've been perfect! smile.gif

Do it!!!

"which one is mine???"

Owning a silver AR-X I get the XC70 comparison a lot.... Not helped by the fact that I borrowed an silver XC70 a few years back...:rofl:

"which one is mine???"

Is that photo in Berry a few months back? Saw the car and was trying to guess who in the coffee shop owned it.

Had the AXIS parked round the corner ...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
