PS Comp: When the time comes... what will you drive?


Recommended Posts

Inspired by grog and a conversation I had while watching Mad Max 2 - here is your Photoshop challenge:

When the apocolypse finally comes and society breaks down... what will you drive?

Here are the rules:

* The cities are contaminated, so you'll be living in the wasteland.

* There are still roads - but not always.

* Not everyone is as nice as you - your vehicle must be to fight, and also run at speeds of over 200km/h.

* All new and second-hand car dealers are available for looting.

* Military hardware can be found on wrecked vehicles - but none of these vehicles are sufficiently intact to form a base. Hummers are available commercially though.

* You are pretty handy with a plasma cutter and welder - but standard engineering principles apply (can't fit that M1A1 tank turret to a Prius). Whilst your vehicle doesn't need to conform to ADR, the mods must be inherrently believeable.

* Anything can be converted to a monster truck. Cars can't fly.

* Fuel is scarce - but not unavailable. Your vehicle needs to carry enough to be capable of traveling over 1200km on its supply... so yeah, a 5.0L supercharged V8 with drop-tanks is still OK :cheers:

I'll let this run for a while - and once we have a few entries, will open up the submissions for voting.

Winner will get all 3x Mad Max DVDs (non original - but with covers).

Sound reasonable?

Let the apocolypse begin! :cheers:

get a fat, old 4wd and whack up a full body outer brace frame thing, put in the biggest motor i can find, put on extra tanks, bigger tyres, and mount a 7.62 mg on the roof- interstate 76 style :cheers: who cares about style, theres no one to impress!

dont let it fool you, its got a jet engine on the back,

armour plating could run over mines and take missile hits

machine guns in the headligts and door handles, and a fully sick leather interior bro

and it drives like herbie which leaves you time to have a nap while your fighting enemeies

I havent actually done any photoshop to this car so exclude this from the challege but if the apocalyspe did come I will be driving this baby,

except with a few custom modifications,

my shark car will be amphibious so I can hunt any left over whales and sell the blubber.

The size is important, as shown in the picture it is capable of swallowing a human.

Afterburner provides a quick escape or offence.

This car was in carmageddon so some of you may know about some of the included modifications, the ability to drop mines is standard, but some interesting others are.

1)the "electro bastard ray" basically its a tesla coil mounted in the vechile, and when anything living comes within a certain radius it sends a high energy electric spark, either incapacitating them temporarily, or with more power, vapourising them.

Good for riots and crowds.

2) oppenent repulsifier. basically a huge compressed spring mounted on the side of the car, If a "fully sick bro" pulled up next to you at the lights, instead of racing his rice cooker, you just press a button and send him sideways through 3 buildings. technical constraints means that the spring will be a "one-shot" so it can only be used once.

Also capable of sending humans over the horizon.

I mean seriously, If you saw this shit coming towards you, you'de get out of the way fast.

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
