Sorry people. Stop contacting me about this. It was 5yrs ago. Talk to cvt.co.nz for parts or swap to a non cvt halfcut.

sold to a great bloke in VIC named Andrew. Hope he loves it as much as I did spending the countless hours in it, on it and under it! lol

sorry peoples, measured it wrong. Its a 2.25inch ID.

more pics of the car (unwashed). Imageshack Album

it also has an LSD and Electromagnetic rotary actuatored rear shocks. Go from soft to very hard with the press of a button. Should have some slightly lowered springs on the way as well. cheers Ben

hahaha. hijack much? Well, if anyone wants a black one with luxo leather then this one is for you. The only black with leather in the country in fact!

The funny thing is, when someone wants to sell their elgrand outside of NSW, it has to be returned to a 2/3/4 seater. Dotars will not accept that their determinations are wrong. If we used the same ruling applied to elgrands, no import would be acceptable for importation except trucks. The basics - Elgrand are being complied as passenger vehicles under the campervan category. To be allowed to do this, you need to proove that a van full of people is under the van's GVM. Since Japs have a lower average weight then us, our ruling of 68kg per seating posistion makes them exceed the set GVM for that van. The really interesting thing is one Elgrand may have a GVM of 2400kg, the next might be 2690kg and their is no difference in brake/suspension or drivetrain to compensate the increase and Dotars wont accept an engineers justification to say that if all the components are the same, then we can increase its GVM to the higher option.

nah i need cash sorry. It is ONO though. cheers Ben

Up for sale - New pics included as well! CEDRIC FOR SALE

My project has finally come to an end. This vehicle started out as a VQ30DET CVT and soon after its arrival in 2008 the CVT blew up. Rather then spending the quoted 16grand to fix it, I sourced an RB25DET Neo from the same car and began the swap. After countless hours after work and weekends, its finally finished, and the best part is that EVERYTHING works! This is and will most likely remain to be the only RB25DET powered Y34 to be ever in the country (unless someone personal imports one). The reason for sale is simple. I already own another 2 cars and with the arrival of my son, i can only afford 2 sets of rego and insurance and sadly this magnificant car must leave me.

The workshops are forced to do those things by the regulations. If we dont change cats, or have stock brake pads on cars when we affix the purple sticker, we will eventually get caught out and will have our license terminated. You think its unfair for you, try having a set of OEM wheels on the shelf for every model of car you own, knowing that you are supposed to have the car sent out to the market in completely factory trim but the owner will not pay for stock wheels soley for compliance. Same goes for brake pads, tyres, cats, EVERYTHING.

To put it simply, the Japanese import industry is dying due to people wanting to save a buck to have a fun car while owning a mortgage (house). You just cant have both these days without sacrifice. So much for Dotars trying to help the industry make money, its more the opposite!

Mine dont poke out of the gaurds and with 3 big dudes in the back, they tuck up under nicely. I've pm'd you regarding the springs.

Its almost too expensive and difficult to convert. You'll need to convert the foot operated park brake to a normal hand brake, then you'll have to find a pedal box that will fit (custom) and a really small clutch master cylinder as its pretty tight near the firewall. Then you'd need custom tailshaft, seriously massage the transmission tunnel to fit in a 350Z 6 speed or Navara 6 speed box with new clutch, pressure plate, flywheel. Then your diff will be the wrong ratio. Need a custom centre consol and cut a hole in the tunnel for the stick to poke out. These cars are cruisers and not designed for heavy gear changes like in a manual. If you want a manual 4 door, get a skyline.
