What The? - Public stories about the confusion surrounding ur car

[brada31ke70]

thoust shall not be a cock, like adman, whilst driving thy cefiro.

[Mr Eps]

LOL@ ripping of adamn

[AdMan]

-_-

Not normally an angry person, but... umm, grow up eh? Ive been on forums for years and your the first person to say anything about that.

And no I didnt get the speed limiter done, I couldnt give a damn. Spend most of my time and money on the damn thing to keep something unique still around. And I dont see why you people are total assholes to me, quite frankly Im annoyed at it. Should be happy that there is Cefiro that still is drivable in this country.

Ive given it a good run, no denying... my first turbo car, and it wasnt the first turbo car I wanted. But it was practical, had the power and most of all it had the uniqueness that I love. But what breaks on it, I fix... So far have had no trouble with it.

Apart from getting defected last Friday, by driving into a defect station. Wasnt doing anything wrong, just wrong place wrong time. I havnt had to touch it. Now im gettin bits and pieces sorted out to get the defect taken off. Because its worth it... I have talked to quite a few people in Adelaide here about their Ceffy's and I dont get a problem. They all know who it used to belong to, well most of them, and they know I'm going to look after it.

So why the hate huh? This has to be the best place to ask for advice, parts or opinions and I cant get a damn thing. Whats wrong with helping someone out who just bought the same car that everyone else loves to own?

I admit the speed limiter thing was pretty stupid, and I have no idea why I even asked to be honest. Bit excited I guess...

I might of come across a total moron in regards to driving... but im not like that, I like the power.. but I dont just go out looking for people to show off too by sliding past them. My eyes, me driving past in the Cefiro is good enough for them. Ive had countless people yell out Ceffy! as I drive past. I got one saying Cefolo last Satuday. lol... I dont show off in it, I dont thrash the shit outta it, I love it for what it is... and I hope that it lasts for many years to come! Whether its mine or not...

Just wanna clear this up...

And yes... my mates do call me AdMan, so do most of my relatives...

Adam.

oh adman! i am just giving you a bit of jip, there is no hate there, relax my friend. i really dont care how you drive your cefiro that is up to you, every one is different, that is what makes this world interesting, just because i think one way does not make it right, you really shouldnt care what i think.

eg, i think that show so you think you can dance is the worst show in the world, but it gets the best ratings,

i must admit it is a little hard to get information from some people, but we did tell you how to remove your speed limiter, you just needed a pin out diagram. it took me about 20 hours of searching on the net, 10 hours of driving aroud mechanics and a bottle of rum to get my wiring diagram for my rb26 and i am not ready to give it out that quick.

take it easy adman.

I wasnt complaining... I was trying to explain that I need parts to get it off defect, I'm sure some people on here have those parts that I need. I just gotta find them, and what better way then to say what happened and what I need.

[SideWaysChef]

Must admit I have chased a Camry through traffic cos the Tail lights looks similair to a Cefiro's

but yeah, been asked plenty of questions about mine and it says in bold writing between the taillights

CEFIRO

[daisu]

Hahahh, the amount of times I've mistaken other cars for cefiros. I feel sooo ashamed when I realise it is not, everything from camry's to magna's ahahh. Then I remember the good thing about having a car that looks like a camry/magna at first glance is you don't attract the wrong kind of attention like the skylines/S-series do.

[Mr Eps]

...i've had 4 yellow stickers. for reasons which are all passed by pits

hence why im buying cima!

[SideWaysChef]

Yeah good point, The Ceffy's definately tend to attract less attention than a skyline/silvia

I might be going to route of a Cima myself if I can find the cash to buy one from a work mate...gotta love the pillarless look!

[daisu]

...gotta love the pillarless look!

Hell yeah, I'd swap my ceff for a laurel any day.

[Mr Eps]

i didn't mean shitty old cima i meant the F50 2001 upwards model haha

[SideWaysChef]

I had some Dick in Mandurah ask me if my Cima was a Skyline...after he had walked all around it and read the badges on the back which clearly say

NISSAN Cedric CIMA

no were in there does it mention the word skyline...

[Mr Eps]

should have given him a cun7punt

Bumping up a 6 year old thread.

I find them quiet under the radar until you hit slight boost, next set of lights, some VN commo wants a drag race.....smoke the motherf**ker, NEXT set of lights, he sits over a car length back in opposite lane.

Yes, my car sounds funny at idle and when I take off it goes ACHUCHUCHUCHU, that doesnt mean your bog stock family car should start and lose a race against me.

I kicked some Lancers arse the other night, at the next set of lights I put my window down and was like "hey man can we have a re-run?? I missed 2nd gear back there" - got a blank stare and he put all the windows up. DENIED! you picked the wrong car to f**k with racer boi!

I too am guilty of chasing after old Camry's through traffic only to be let down by the realization it was NOT an A31 Cefiro.

I get some confused looks, usually when I beat someone, some skyline rubber neckers look, and some guy appeared at my window and said" I've got a cefiro too!" which was weird, but my cef is so patchy and maggot looking no one really looks too hard, that could change once I can be assed painting it

[4PLAYN]

I havent even driven my Laurel on the road yet, and my next door neighbours spent a good half an hour hanging over the fence asking me and guessing what it was .... (commodore, falcon, magna, chaser, bmw, merc .... and a few others)

the bonnet was up, no engine and they ask if its turbo, or v8 .....

the day i put coilovers in it (which i havent adjusted yet from the s13 it was in before) they asked if the springs did anything as it was so low .... i pretty much said "naa dude, its only for show when the police pull me over" i shook my head, closed the shed doors and continued working ....

mind you, its nowhere near ready in my eyes to have the engine put in yet .... still got alot of cleaning and finishing off to do yet, then bring on the randoms on the street !

[Cupcake]

ive had mine called a chaser, a maxima, what the f**k is it?

got pulled over by a police van 6 of them get out, asked if it had a 2jz and what it was.

Best thing ever, cefs in brisbane arent rare but you dont see them like 33's so when i saw an old as couple driving one i was like f**k yeah, then by chance i was filling up my cef when the old people rolled in, i noticed 32gtr brakes, cooler and

i asked the guy 'is this yours, wahts in it?'

his reply 'no its my sons, im from nz this is the car he gave us to drive on our holiday, its got a 3litre twin turbo thing'

I shook my head and was like.... wtf and said 'can i look under the bonnet'

RB26/30 i was like wtf!!! and he gave it curry leaving the servo!!

[Nic_A31]

^^^ HAHAHAHAH that's awesome!

The 'sleeper-ness' of the Ceffy has saved both MY ass and IT from impound twice in last week alone.
