Hi guys, this is my new ride which I've just imported in. It's a manual with an rb20 (non turbo). Has a nice Lsd, lowered suspension all round and some rims (am hoping to get a new full set soon). Imported the car from japan and am getting it ready to meet uk road regulations, only mod on the car I've done so far is the steering wheel. Have had quite a few nissans in the past from a c32 laurel, s13 200sx and my daily drive a 3 door hatch 87 sunny. Here's a few pictures of the cefiro, 1st 1 was taken when the car was in japan..

nice car mate... hehe mine's pretty close to that look right now too with the 16"s... AE86 drivers go gaga for your rear wheels BTW if you're selling em. make sure you capitalise on their infatuations.

oh and be careful of those weatherstrips, after 15 years of being on the car they tend to fly off at speeds over 130km/h.

lol Sloane if you think their backyards are small, you should check out their roads.

Not yet, my girlfriends dad moved out to australia a while back so we're hoping to come visit soon. Have been thinking about maybe moving out there 1 day.

Everywhere here's expensive these days mate, fuel's on it's way down now but was @ £1.37 for diesel and around £1.24 for unleaded not so long ago. Your normal roads I'm guessing may be similar size to some of our industrial estates but our's are still probably a bit smaller.

So what sort of mods can I do to get a bit more power (no turbo). I like my cars a bit quiter these days so keeping the stoch back box on the exhaust but looking @ de-cat and 2-1 manifolds.. what modifications are out there?

Update on my car, Still not on the road yet.... failed uk mot due to needing 4 new tires, new wiper blades and front coilovers are shot, among other minor bits. Not really impressed with it so far, this is how it arrived from japan. rear completely bold tires front one punctured, drivers electric window stuck half open (bought new switch but seems motor is the problem) and I'm having trouble sourcing one, though am told an r32 4 door one is the same?? So I've just splashed out on a full brand new set of coilovers which I'm well happy with. Just gotta save some more now before I can do anything else. Looking at getting a new set of wheels, and a 2 branch manifold and de-cat when I've got a bit more cash. ....wish it was on the road!

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
