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.

    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
