1989 Nissan Cefiro - Takushi

[jaik]

Folks, time has come to sell my beloved Cefiro. Originally the car (standard) cost about $11k on the road in December 04 and I have calculated that I have spent upwards of $35k on parts (not incl labour or maintenance etc). I dare say over $55k has been dropped on this thing in total, so Im hoping to get around $19,000ono.

Eastern States Buyers Welcome!

Will pay anyone a 1.5% Spotters fee for a successful sale of the car. So if you have a mate who's keen, speak up and take some money from me for your kind efforts!

Car History

Vehicle was supplied by a reputable car yard in Japan in July 2004. Car arrived in Australia in August 2004 and was complied by C-Red Tuning and signed off by Phils Mechanical Service in WA. The whole import process was done by myself and all documentation is included with the car incl Japanese Rego Certs. Car was first registered in December 2004. Car has just had another 6 months rego paid til Dec 07.

Absolutely every performance modification has been performed in Australia by me. The vehicle arrived absolutely stock mechanically. The only modifications that have been done by someone other than me have been the exhaust and the current stainless intake pipe. The engine sounds beautiful, no abnormal head noises etc - always serviced every 5000km with Mobil S. The engine is in unbelievable condition for an engine of this age, a true testament to the RB. All the timing gear was done by me in October last year, using genuine Nissan aftermarket service parts (Pitwork).

Body Kit was sourced direct from FK in Japan by C-Red and fitted by AFM Enterprises and completed work in January 2006. The vehicle has never had a major accident, although the body was a bit rough when originally purchased hence the decision to really go all out on the body. Chassis was tidied up for compliance however only one minor incident since then which is negligible.

In October 2006 I undertook a major upgrade, I installed the HKS Turbo Kit, Xtreme Flywheel and Clutch Kit, Removed all the HICAS pumps and lines that went to the rear of the car, Installed the S14 Steering rack and Custom lines, Installed all the new Cooler piping and designed the entire turbo side of the car to suit the new Turbo. I replaced all the exhaust studs with brand new Nissan studs, using existing washers and new nuts. I also installed the Oil Catch Can, all Silicon Hosing and the Razor Engine grounding kit. Whilst this was going on I also took the gearbox apart to replace all the easy to reach bearings.

All servicing and suspension mods have all been done by me and is of the highest quality workmanship, with no corners cut or expense spared in getting it right the first time. I am very proud of how the car has come together but unfortunately the car has become impractical for me day to day as I do lug around a lot of gear for work, and Its too hard to drive because she just wants to get up and boogee ALL the time and I cant resist smashing the right foot down, which is bad for the ol MDL.

Car has been inspected twice in the past year, but really doesn't attract too much attention from the cops. 4 doors for the win. I have put prices next to things I can recall paying for but its safe to say its well up into the $20k + mark

I have taken the car to the track and done a fair amount of drifting and the car is definitely made for sliding. The car is extremely stable on the road with its big boots and having fully adjustable suspension means its highly tunable for street, track, drifting or both.

Aircon Compressor needs replacing as the clutch packed it in. Currently the belt has been taken off. Car sometimes wont start if the headlights have been on for about 5-10 minutes without the car running, you just have to turn the lights off and it goes straight away. I dare say the HID kit drains too much battery. Im fairly honest with the faults so Im not phased by sharing my "intimate" knowledge of this car.

Car will also still come with the TAKUSHI plates, as its Japanese for Taxi. Ideal plates in Japanese Green and White.

Car will be immaculately detailed both inside and out by a professional detailer upon deposit for the car.

You will also get ownership of my domain and Website - Sido-Takushi.com. A large 900mm long sticker with the web address is also included with the car - I havent gotten around to fitting it.

Any questions please feel free to ask!

Well if you can come up with a serious percentage of the funds upfront we could almost work out a payment plan for the rest over a 2-3month period, and yes you can drive away first.

How much power is it making at what boost?

How much power is it making at what boost?

I don't know mate. I suspect there is potential for 320-350 horse. I am yet to do cams, inj and ecu... And already it looses traction in the dry by 4500 rpm in 1st with near new 265s on the back. Its a bit of a handful in 3rd, more so in the wet. - its scary to think of its potential!

Gate has a 1 bar spring in it atm but I have other springs to go with it.
