Hey, Ive had this for about 2 weeks now. So far a few things have gone wrong, but who doesnt sell a car that has problems with it ay?

Anyway... :)

89' A31 Cefiro

127,000k's

Silvertop RB20DET

5 Speed Manual

Adjustable Coilovers

Front Mount Intercooler

Apexi Blow Off Valve

Aftermarket Sideskirts and Rear Bar

17" Rims

3" Turbo back exhaust with canon muffler (sounds really nice)

Dyno tuned and got 142kw at the wheels.

Probably some more stuff but that'll do.

Its a bit of a change to my other cars Ive had.Before thisI was driving around in a Volvo 240 to get to work etc. And I have a 86' Z31 Turbo project car, which never really took off the ground. So if anyone wants it for $800 or so, then just ask lol. Before that I had a 85' NA Z31 which I sold just recently as it got defected. So I thought I should get something slightly more practical. :(

Anyway, heres some pictures of the beast. >_<:devil::D

haha nice ride dude hope to see progress if any is to continue, you'd be made not to haha.....did sumone say 25 :)

I got some fairly good plans for it so far, just looking at having something completely different to everyone else. :)

At the moment, cosmetic is what makes it look a bit sad. Mostly it needs a new front bar, lookin out for an Autech one. Havnt even seen one in person yet. :) Looking for new headlights also, new or second hand... just need to get something that has the covers over them. Really ruins the look. :(

Had a few problems with the intercooler piping the last couple of days, pressure finding weak points in the silicone joins and making its escape. Should have no dramas with it now. :)

Theres a few things with the engine I wanna sort out also, the 20 shall be fine for now. :/ I love how it sounds... Exhaust needs to be moved over, might get that done sometime soon. Respray is in an order, and I got a pretty nice idea on how im gonna do that. ;)

Cant wait... I'm learning something, thats basically what I want to try and do... hehe.

Cheers mate! :D

defect station?? is that where cops sit an wait for you to pass through?

or is that like the inspection place where you get the defect notice off your car

that sucks though sorry to hear mate

Yeah basically... set up on a blind corner, I drove around... did nothing wrong, and yeah they looked over the car.

50mm to low... lol. I knew it was low when I bought it, but didnt think it was that low... :)

Well thats it... :laugh:

Took me 6 hours to do, by myself.. lol.

Just gotta get some nicer looking seats, I am on the lookout for some that are more blacker, as you can see the driver seat is about what im looking for... Doesnt look half that bad in person, guess the flash makes it change in pictures. :down:

Adam. :rofl:

Cheers fellas..

Yeah it is Sam's old car, really its given me nothing but problems, but anyway.. what car doesnt. :D

Absolutely stoked about the carpet, has made everything look so much nicer and given me incentive to keep going on it. lol..

How many k's a tank does everyone else get out of theirs? Im gettin about 330 before I decided to fill up, have been to 360 a few times but thats pushing it. I dont race around, give the occasional squirt. :blink: Just depresses me sometimes, lol.. Also doesnt help having such a small tank, filling up every 3 or 4 days. :D

Also just had a thought, the passenger seat rail has snapped cos I checked when I took it out and I can take one from the different coloured one haha. Thanks Matt for ya help. :laugh:

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
