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.

ceffo.

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"

  • 5 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

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:

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
