OK... well i couldnt find the thread (ceffo did tho :)http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47222) we had going about the stories and questions etc that people have about how confused other people are about Ceffies, Laurels etc so i made another.

I dont want to hear about drag racing... i dont want to hear about street drifting... all i wanna hear is "WHAT THE?"

:)

I'll start off with an example.

Ive finally got CEF-ZLA on the road with a UVP (Unregistered Vehicle Permit) so i can go to and from mechanics... garages etc etc

To truely understand the attention this car seeks if you havent already listen to this as it gives u a bit of an idea altho still not as scarey as it sounds at full tit :P

On the way home from a mechanics at about 5pm i was dropping fully sick coolahs mate.... no sorry... i mean i was coming down the road changing pretty hard and accelrating to the speed limit as hard as possible to give it a good test.

I could see a guy behind me in an old EA falcon trying to catch up... he was ducking and weaving in and out of traffic to catch me at the lights...

He finally caught up and dropped his window...

"What the **** is that man!?"

-Its a nissan cefiro

"A what?"

-Nissan Cefiro

"Is that like a maxima?"

-To a certain extent :)

"Whats it got under the hood? Sounds mean as!"

-A Skyline GTR engine

"SHIT... no wonder :)"

No sooner had i gone round the corner but some old dude in a 4WD started following me and trying to get up beside me to have a yarn about WHAT THE?

Then some tosser in a VN calais V6 wanted a drag to which i replied "**** off u idiot... go race an exel"

I swear im going to make up a sign and stick it on the passnger window cause im sick of answering the same questions.

"THIS CAR IS A NISSAN CEFIRO. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A HOLDEN SAFIRA. IT IS A TURBO CHARGED GRANDADS CAR WITH MORE POWER AT THE WHEELS THAN AT YOUR ENGINE AND NO I DONT WANT TO DRAG YOUR VN AS I COULD THINK OF BETTER THINGS TO WASTE MY PETROL ON"

It is very funny looking at the faces of some people tho when it goes past them or as you take off from the lights... ive scared the begeesus out of so many people i still cant help but laugh :)

heh. i want your car.

noone has asked me or even looked at the car with the WHAT THE face except for one passenger in a p plater 180 and one p plate guy in a ford laser who stopped at the lights on green and asked me to smoke it up (being really nice about it too haha).

I want a gtr engine damnit.

You still selling ? I might go hock a kidney.

I have had similar experiences Inark...........except mine barely looks like a ceffy anymore, so you can imagine the "what the?" looks i get..........

I remember coming back from the dyno tune with my race pipes on............damn that scared some people. hehehehe

thats the one!

link added to the top post :P

I constantly get what is it! (as does everyone)

Now this is people asking me what it is after they have had a GOOD look around the car including badges etc.

VN commodore but not... (duhh?)

New Bluebird

New School Torry (after they read cefiro and nissan...)

Camary

Cosmo (nah dude, cosmos are 2 doors... and dont make rb20 noises) Most common thing its mistaken for

A ford (this was on the highway over the UHFs someone then corrected them and said it was a CefirA! I quickly corrected them then...)

its been called a WHAT THE F&^K IS THAT!!! a few times too.

Skyline, siliva, datto 200b I think was said once

If only most people could read the badges!

thats one thing that makes it hard to know what mine is... the badges are off except the side ones on the window but no one looks there

Yeah, mine doesnt have the silvia look lights tho. Doesnt look so Japanese as such.

But yeah, the funniest thing I have found is telling people its an 1988 model car, they just dont belive it.

Yeah all the peeps i told said it looked liked a 90's model. WTF.. Its blurdy 16 years old.

lol ive heard a lot of people say it looks like a magna

Yeah? as in the older shape? Where the headlights lent forwards a bit? I can see it with a camary with the new lights on the rear, but not so much a magna.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
