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.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.

      Is r33 gtr steering wheel the same as the gtst?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.

      Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
