skids up . at least the tires wil be cheap .

Well tires will be short lived...... lol

We're also going to try and tuck a set of 19's we got with car underneith it. In keeping with the philosophy of the build the wheels we're using are a stock nissan wheel. Even so I'm going to minitub the rear and possibly tub the front. The front tubs are fairly roomy stock and given the RB+turbo will be space hungry it'll be good if the front tubs don't need altering.

What a great idea,would be a reall sleaper,keep us posted if you do it. :D

We're doing it! we've got a Cedric in the shed 1/2 disassembled and a R31 waiting to be stripped of its running gear.

Can't wait to surprise a few falcadore drivers by toasting them with grandma's stationwagon.

Loving it! Can't wait to see the end result.

Same same. Sooooooooooo much to do though its just not funny. Fortunately the B/in law is a body and paint man and as much as I'm no mechanical marvel I have tackled some tricky conversions already. (multipoint EFI in a 550hp chrysler V8, what a headache) This one is going to be the all out build though so stay tuned.

Just noticed you've got a stagea, no wonder you like this idea.... lol

Nice work!

I hope that you have considered the issue that the old Cedrics didn't come standard with any brakes...

:P

Tell me about it! On the day we got it first I almost sent the thing into the back of my parents navara when I was putting it on the trailer then I almost sent it backwards through our bedroom window when we got it home! The brake pedal goes straight to the floor, that must have been a factory option. :O

this is a pic of the cars owner (my better half) and the car trailer/launch ramp on the day we picked it up.

Thats where the opinions are divided here at home.

I think, given that we're going to put a rb30det in it we should go for the nostalgia look with whitewalls, 2tone paint (mint green with a white roof), painted 15/16inch steelies and a venitian in the back window.

Whereas the better half is pushing for charcole grey with blacked out 19's. I can tell you now who will win :P

use this to your advantage.... make sure you end up with this. Its full of awesomeness. charcoal grey and 19" wheels.

Just keep in mind that if you retain a pre 1970's motor you don't have to worry about emission laws and noise restrictions.

welcome to the land of no spares lol

ive got 2 cedrics bth a bit later than yours

Unfortunately I've already resigned myself to zero market support. This car makes building a chrysler seem easy.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
