Yes its Nicos old one. And Nico did most of the work on it, tidyed it up etc. So I think its CRAP that old mate Stoney would appear to be taking the credit, along with 'zoom importers' as neither had anything to do with the car. I'll go as far to say I belive there were 2 owners after Nico before stoney bought the car.

As much as I dont like the car, as I think why make a cefiro a 2 door. I dont think it is right that others take the credit. Or at least that is the impression I got.

Just to clarify.......Yes that was my car.......Yes i did import it.....Doors and flares were welded in japan (NEVER Re-welded in OZ) BUT i did have the bodywork cut back to "start again" including re-shaping of the flares etc.

To those that are not keen on the flares.......either am I......But i LOVE the rims. It did it's job for me as far as advertising.

As far as Stoney and Zoom taking the credit.......I say let them have their 15mins of fame......if they can't do it for themselves, stealing the credit is their only option i suppose.

Good luck to them and Stoney............

PS: I wanna see him match that colour/pearl HAHAHAHAHAHA

lol nico you're a funny man.

But yeah I don't see how they're TRYING To take the credit. They just happen to have it in the article.

If they are then well I take what I said back heh either way pretty funny good on ya :)

My reasoning for those comments is because he has actually told MY WIFE, that ZOOM imported the car!!!!!! (He of course did not know it was my wife when he said it..) hahaha lol

I spoke to Troy tonight and he said he was not trying to take credit for the call at all, he was simply advertising his business as the current owner is a customer.

As for the current owners missasumption that Zoom imported the car, I don't think that has anything at all to do with Troy and his business.

just my 2c

Jaime.

I can only comment on the remarks that the current owner has made......As far as stoney ASSUMING zoom imported.....i find that difficult to swallow....as it had MY stickers on it when he bought it :D

Either way not an issue.........however Tony may want to change the specs for the car on his site.......even the wheels sizes are incorrect (i sent him an email to let him know but have got no response)

For the record, I am in no way upset about this.......Though i have never dealt with zoom..i have scoured their site, and their products and prices are certainly fair. I would not hesitate trading with them.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
