Spotted this Volvo in a Maccas drive thru the other week; gave him a toot & told him to get out of the way... Also saw this sweet NM35 while I was driving up a hill a couple of days ago.

id rather own a v35 than a merc ill tell u that with all the shit that goes wrong with them

Pretty sure he's saying the same thing... he'd rather own a V35 than a Merc, because of all the issues with Mercs?

BMWs are the same. As soon as they're out of warranty electrics start to fail.

Dont worry i get the following from people:

Servo - "bowser number 8, the white maxima?"

Police - "hey sarge come look at this maxima it has a screen in asian writing"

Valet - "sorry we can find your skyline anywhere, the only white sedan is a maxima with the plates BM32XP"

I dont know what would be worse a volvo or a maxima

Got a few looks and questions today at Frankston Nissan. Turns out one of their technicians bought an NM35 earlier this year and lurks here.

Didn't have time to see his car unfortunately (and vice versa) but would be interested.

I know haters are gonna hate, and people will probably give me crap for this, but my partner works for Volvo and I thought it would be funny to slap a Volvo sticker on the back of my car :P

I've already had a few people in traffic point and laugh at it :P

Also decided to rip off all the stickers besides the big stagea sticker, which now is annoying me because it's not in the middle... so when I can be bothered I'll put another one on in the center :P

leaving the Bathurst 1000 today, group of guys yelled out "Go the Volvo" haha, i just smiled and waved.. Silly people.

Then once arriving back in sydney 2 P platers one driving a non turbo R34 were drag racing from each set of lights. Decided to give them a scare and take off behind them to make them think i was a cop. They obviously got a bit of a shock when they couldn't loose the wagon. They slowed right down to read the badge and see what type of car it was then took off. Was hoping for a cop to come round the corner and pull them over, But no luck this time.

Recently received a ticket in the mail:

Number plate: *** *** Make: Lexus.... WHAT THE PUCK?!?!

When pulled over for a RBT:

Officer: What car is this?

Me: It's a Nissan

Officer: You sure? Your Lexus badge looks crooked.

I JUST SAID THAT IT'S A NISSAN!!!

Got a heap more of those stories. But it is the only Maxima with a SAU QLD sticker on it in the club. :)

I used to work in carsales at a large dealership with 10+ brands on the one site, became good friends with the service dept manager & he said the brand with the most mechanical/electrical issues he'd get in were the volkswagens, bear in mind this dealership also has chrysler/dodge

A guy at work the other day asked me what model Suzuki my car was. He said "it must be one of those hotted-up ones because it looks so different to all the rest"

uh... that's because it's not a Suzuki :wacko:

I've had it called a Volvo quite a few times but this was a first! Apparently the double unicorn badge looked like the S on Suzuki's to him

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
