dunno what prices are like in aussie, but i got my 3inch mandrel in mild steel (turbo back) with 1 resonator...and i supplied the end muffler for $450 which i thoght was pretty good

I want that kit siighh its URAS eh??

yeah man.first time if done anything further than changing an oil filter.. but did it all myself... well...had a bit of help lol

Picked it up from my dad for $300 - rb20e manual 270,000kms ...hydrollic lifters ticking away... Put an LSD in and went for a skid....promptly cooked the headgasket....so ripped the old engine out and sold it for a dollar lol... When i first picked her up Installed GTST seats all round Stripped it....sanded it....preped it Primed it Started base coat...this so isnt good for the camera lol During wet sanding New plates Engine in! K-style coilovers installed, wheels arrive tomorrow (koya drift teks) then i can sticker her up (should prob put bonnet back on to

god i need my wheels

thought i'd post an updated pic have installed coilovers (sooo good) and ordered some 17x8/17x9 koya drift teks for it should arrive in 6 weeks...i cant wait...the 15s are hidious! lol

i also....would almost kill for one of these....does anyone know the original manufactuer?

i do somewhere..but with the stock wheels its almost embarasing lol

Thought i'd let you guys hear an rb20det with no exhaust haha http://kinggts25.orcon.net.nz/firststart.MPG now just need a 5 stud conversion and wind that height down a bit lol

yeah forgot to mention that!! get a GOOD one! when buying the paint get a spec sheet it will tell you which filters to use! i work for a safety equip supplier so i got mine for about $14 they are the best investment ever!!! also good when sanding bog/fibreglass etc any thing like that....buy one or u will die.....my garage was soooo full of fumes and shit....

use a couple of orbital sanders for removing the clear etc (otherwise you will be there for like 4 weeks) before the 1st coat of primer...after the primer....only hand sand with hard rubber or cork sanding blocks i tried this softish foam one and it was useless!

yeah man if you have msn skylinegt25 (at) hotmail.com...pretty much i used real basic equipment i just spent ages on the prep which gets pretty depresseing... cleaned the car, sanded the body with 120 grit to chew thru the clear coat then sanded with 400 grit before applying the 1k etech primer...think i ended up with about 3 -4 coats of this after applying a lil body filler to smooth out some ripples and get rid of the aerial after that i left it for about 48 hours to fully dry etc again, then wet sanded it with 400 grit and then to 600/800 grit (the can only said 400 but i wanted smoother lol)...wash the car reaaaally well...make sure its dry...then just before painting use a wax/grease remover (prepsol or similar)...then ur ready to spray base coat...did 4 coats of this...leave for a good period of time and then wet sand this back with 1500 then 2000...then its time for the buffing....which is a mission...haha get a machine.... Basically follow the instructions on the can for times between coats etc...all the equipment i used was very cheap... Compressor from bunnings $150 Gravity Feed Spray gun $60 (from trademe) primer $70 Thinners $ 50 Paint (acrylic lacquer) $270 lots of drop coats for covering stuff u dont want overspray on!! $40 sandpaper etc like $30 and lots of masking tape lol get good stuff....proper painters stuff if you use the normal crap it wont pull of cleanly and takes an AGE to scrape the left overs off...

Took about an hour to get the old engine out etc...just used a beam in my garage and a block an tackle and about 25 minutes to get the new engine in....the most time consuming part was the wiring which was just pissing around etc...if you have an rb20DE ceffy it wouldnt be a prob though it's pretty easy....and the only other mechanical thing i have done on a car is change a diff this website is very good http://www.geocities.com/lowrider_c33/

Hi Guys, Just thought since this seems to be the most active cefiro/laurel forum i can find i would post some pics of my build up brought a 1989 cefiro manual rb20e ghetto spec...240kms on her....have since....sanded it back made her smooth and painted her (all in my garage) and installed the rb20det etc done pretty well so far including the cost of the car i have only spent $2000.... but i have coilovers,intercooler, and 5 stud conversion to go..go some nice 17 inch tanabe 3 piece rims to go on her

i brought my manual rb20e ceffiro in awesome condition for $400 in nz

retrimming front and rear in leather?

I don't know how u would desribe it...its out of a 90 gtst coupe sorta like a ribbed velour feeling stuff hhahah

I dunno...prefer the skyline seats eh...i just wanted to see if they fit...cause i want a GTR interior and cant handle having the fronts and rears not matching with a lil bit of effort itll look like they were meant to be tehre...ceffy seats are a lot more 'padded' and heavy

ok...got frustrated waiting...so i got some seats for $50 ! and installed! not a bad fit with a bit of finishing it would look mint....small gaps that wouldn't take much to make un noticable! was dark so pics are not that good sorry now i jsut need to find a gtr interior!!!
