I've got an 89 A31 (and an 89 R32). Cefiros are rare in the US. I only know of one besides mine. I plan on drifting it.

Some info:

Factory 5-speed

Cheap ebay front mount ic

Custom exhaust

Bosch 040 fuel pump

KSRom ECU - Was already in the car, don't know the tuning

Custom one-piece drive shaft

Cusco coilovers on the front & Tein on the back. - Getting replaced with Powered-by-Max coilovers

Z32 brake & 5-lug conversion

Braided brake lines

Stock r32 wheels on the front & 17x8 +30 Work Equips on the back

Nice looking cars, bet you get some strange looks with the ceffy? even if it's a track only car lol

Most people think it's just a funny looking car but there are a few that are almost hostile about it.. I usually get harassed by the V8-Muscle-Car guys when I go to the track. But they are beginning to respect RB motors!

Are you allowed to drive it on the road if it's right hand drive?

Right hand drive isn't a problem. We have crazy emissions and safety laws that take a large mountain of paperwork and money to comply with. I still haven't been able to get the R32 registered.

Isn't the usual trick over there to acquire the VIN plate from a crashed 240SX and then "repair" your 240SX by welding in a Skyline shaped chassis around the remaining part of the 240?

Did you get the Ceffy registered at all? Presumably as a Maxima.

I don't even want to talk about all the hoops I had to jump through for registration. Lets just say I don't want to go through that again. Ever.

How ironic, when Detroit is churning out those massive SUV's :banana:

Feel sorry for you mate!

My turbo died. Long live the turbo!

2j1v429.jpg

It's a Holset HE351. Very similar to the HX35.

Still have stock injectors so it leans way out and pulls timing.

With a bad tune and weak injectors it made 288hp (215rwkw) on 18 psi.

I'll post up a dyno chart when I get some injectors and a good tune.

Nice looking Ceffy mate.

What kit is that you've got on? Looks like a modified factory kit, but not quiet an Autech kit ?

Looks awesome...except for your Intercooler not sitting level, that looks a bit weird, make sure you cable tie that back up properly hey ? haha

The kit was on the car when I bought it. I don't know what it is, but it's not Autech. The intercooler is level now. I cut some off the crash guard to make it fit. :happy:

Must just be a modified factory kit? Did you get the car from Japan, or somewhere else ??

Front bars have to be cut in any case to fit a FMIC in, which sucks, over here cops love to give us trouble for it, apparently painting them black makes them invisible ? Havent tried it yet, but I know a black intercooler would make a white / light colored Ceffy look f**king mean.

      ['96 r33 GTST] Need some help gauging how much I should pay for a CD009 transmission kit.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, well, being realistic: RB25DET gearbox (new, from Nissan), A$4k. Good clutch, >A$1k, possibly $2k. So, you're already into the ballpark just with those two things and to stay 5 speed. Someone has borne costs and done work to put the RB bellhousing on the CD009, and there's some other parts included. It seems like a reasonable price to me. It's not as if these things are lying around where you can just pick one up (the whole kit, readyish to go) and/or play off one vendor against another. So the pricing has to seem reasonable to both you and the seller.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      But you can stand next to your strut brace with the bonnet up in the Bunnings car park and people can see it. Can't see dampers.

      Theskylineshed.shop

      Yeah, nah, nothing personal about it. It's a somewhat common pattern for phishing websites. I don't know if they actually take money, but at the very least they are collecting full name + address + credit card details from victims. It's minimum effort, so one can search for parts of the copy on the website and find others. For example there's gemnomads.com, which is a real jewellery business. But there's also a scam .shop version with the very same template that was used to duplicate theskylineshed.

      Yes. For sure. That way you just use the S arms and all is easy. For a streeter anyway.
