I've heard if you type the VIN into fast, and the car is an autech model, a dialog box displays "This is an autech model"

I've seen the guys talk about it when they "fast" their autech stagea's and S15's

I can check your VIN for you if you want?

Can I see a photo of your 280km/hr dash? I haven't seen one for a cefiro before

The engine has a "Tuned by autech" badge on the top of the inlet manifold (just behind the throttle body), where a normal RB20 has the ECCS badge.

I would also guess that a genuine autech model would have plastic skirts and bumpers as opposed to fibreglass copies.

Ah well mine is probably not an Autech model, the engine isnt the original one though, was changed in japan to an RB20DET, did the Autech models come out with a RB20DE? Vin is A31-007166

here is a pic of the dash, never seen one in another ceffy before, and a pic of the car

Yea i didnt think it would be an Autech ceffy, one could only hope though :P Still strange about the dash however, anyone else seen a 280km/ph one before?

Thanks for the comments guys, i hate blowing my own horn so to speak but its still in really good condition, im not sure about the 280 dash, the car came with it from japan, i actually though i broke it the other day but it turned out to be the speedo cable *phew*. I had the vented guards put on a few years ago (paid $300 for them from viva garage/e-bay) but i dont really like them as they dont sit as perfect as the stocky ones did (anyone want to buy my vented ones lol).

It's an Autech series 1 rear bumper and side skirts, and series 2 front bumper.

I've seen many cefiros with autech kits but they were all fibreglass, unlike the R32skylines M-spec kit, there were that many available I don't think anyone would bother making a fibreglass copy when they can source a genuine plastic kit.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By cabramatta · Posted

      Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅

      Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.

      That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.

      Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.

      I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
