I dunno about u guys but I have been pulled over/had peeps ask about my car at the lights constantly here in sydney since i have had it. Such is the feeling of owning a rare sleeper here in sydney.

Some scenarios:

1. I was once at the lights and ended up chopping some guy in a riced up honda civic vtir.

Ok so next set of lights the guy in the passenger gets out (I thought i was gonna get my car smashed so i had the door unlocked ready to go :D

So in the middle of traffic the guy gets out and starts asking me if i wanted to sell my car and all this other stuff. What car, parts, mods, engine .. etc etc. :)

2. Got pulled over by some undercover cops because i had no front bar (it was getting a respray). I thought was getting a ticket or something but ended up answering questions like?

1. Is that car turbo? .. I said no.. *he didnt really bother to look under bonnet)

2. Gee its kinda looks like a maxima/magna?

3. why is there such a large exhaust?

4. Why is it lowered so much for a family car? .. (he asked this once i had said it was my family car).. I said it was beacuse i liked to have a cool look.

Finally waved me on after that.

3. Some guy followed tailgated for like ages till i got into a servo station just to ask me wtf the car was as he was looking for one to drive his wife and kids around yet he could flang it once in a while. When i told him how much power and how much i bought it. He said where the fcuk u get a car such as that with that power and style for such a low price. :)

Im assuming some of u guys have been asked these q'ns had people stare at u before once u rip past em. Kinda getting used to it.

I always get rednecks flying up next to me and wana race me (commodores,falcons), i guess its because i have a 7" cannon out the back, anyway they are really shocked when i spin the wheels and start pulling away from them rather quickly, lol

Was driving around with temporary permit between the car yard and my house, and got asked by a kid in a lancer why my car was spooling off the lights :cheers: told him it was a turbocharged maxima from japan and he totally flipped.

Mine gets called a Cosmo a LOT. I've also had it called 'new school torrana' a camary pops up a lot, VN commodore, the TRX bluebird, that was a good one, Accord, gets called a Chaser a lot atm, people must have worked out cosmos are 2doors, and chasers have 4... But the funny thing is, most of these people have READ all the badges on the car, and they still call it a mazda or toyota...

Went to the snow on the weekend. And the amount of teenagers on holidays staring asking me about my car was hilarious. I was at jindabyne (middle of whoop whoop where there are next to nil imports) getting my gear from rebel when i walked out and there were 4 teens hanging around my car as if it was a autosalon car. :wassup:

So they asked me if it was a cefiro and i siad yes. Should have seen the look on their eyes. Felt like a movie star. Couldnt help but get a big head. So i took four of em on a little spin a bit down further for a drift around a wide bend. And the poor buggers nearly shit themselves all this on standard boost.. LOL

Ended up giving out meggala.com cards to go see his website for importing and so forth.

Also the amount of commodore/ford drivers getting terrified as u rip past em on the freeway and your turbo spools/BOV goes off. See their faces as they look at your car at the next town and realize they were outrun by a "family car"

I have only owned my cef for a few weeks and I have copped the 20 questions at petrol stations almost everytime I stop to fill up, but so far the most rewarding lil' stint I had was when a green P plater in a more or less brand new VY clubsport 260kw came up next to me at the lights...

now Im not one for racing on the street but new car and when I heard him rev it up just before green I had to give it a go, blitzed him, he then waved me over chatted to me for a good half hour - not to mention he was shocked and appalled that my cheap modded import just smashed his expensive new pride and joy :wassup:

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
