On the way down Port Wakefield Road I was waiting at the traffic lights, and a silver Ceffy (same colour as mine) turned off Diagonal Road, so I quickly caught up to it. It was absolute stock, nothing changed on it.

Got the shock of my life when I pulled up along side.. and it was a late 40 year old woman by herself in it. Maybe older, she looked like one of them people that would be offended if you call them older then they actually are lol.. :ninja: She was concentrating ever so hard!

Almost none in the UK. I know of mine, one being broken in Cornwall, one guy on this forum who has one in Cornwall, one up in Scotland, and a mate of mine once saw one being driven like an utter tit (ie. no mechanical sympathy) by some wannabe gangsta type who upon chatting to him it turned out he had no idea what he had.

I do 40,000 miles a year, which is a lot by UK standards (I realise some of you guys probably do that much just getting to the next town :P ) and have never seen another on the road.

There is a stock one getting around the Tweed Heads area with a 50yr old woman driving it

Other than that ive seen approx 3 on the Gold Coast streets. I know there is more

Seen my original now dead white cefiro, a mates now sold cefiro, same mates new cefiro, random blue cefiro, random white autech kit cefiro, another white autech kit cefiro, phillb's cefiro, "hectik" billics cefiro, random purple cefiro, SR20 cefiro and my gun metal cefiro... i see different ones around every 6 months or so.. all in sydney..

its always funny going home to NZ for a few weeks and seeing cefiros everywhere is like christmas...it gets old pretty damn quick through, unless you see a super tough example which happens on occasion, majority are massive, bent Plgs

dont see too many Ceffys on the street day-to-day in Adelaide, especially not clean ones. but there are definitely a few around, few of the SA forum members have nice clean examples

most that i have actually seen on the road with my own eyes are drift hacks - broken bits of fibreglass BN kits, zip ties holding shit together, straight pipe exhausts, just asking for a defect notice

    • GTX2860R Gen 2 is an option. No, it doesn't actually do much. The basic problem with wanting 600 whp out of the factory twin turbo setup is a few things. One is that the twin turbo piping is just so, so inefficient. The front and rear turbos are not actually working evenly. The rear turbo is always moving more air than the front. On top of this the OEM rear compressor inlet is rubber that likes to collapse causing a huge intake restriction. The merge doesn't even wait until the intercooler to happen, and it happens at a 90 degree angle. This is why you see some discussion about "turbo shuffle", where in certain conditions one turbo can actually force air to go backwards into the other compressor and stall it out, then once the other turbo recovers it stalls out the first turbo in a cycle until you do something to break out of it. The other issue is that the RB26 is just not that efficient an engine. It needs a surprising amount of ignition timing to reach MBT for a given cylinder pressure so all that time in which the cylinder is pressurizing before TDC is just wasted energy. An N54 might be around 10 degrees BTDC on a stock turbo getting into the boost. An RB26 is closer to 25 BTDC. Net effect is a turbo roughly the size of what HKS uses on the GTIII-SS (smaller than the R3/GCG Japan "GT2860-1" -7s) is only good for maybe 550 crank hp or low 400 whp while a roughly comparable turbo on an N54 can deliver something like 700 crank hp and obviously drivetrain losses are greatly reduced when you aren't burning a bunch of power on keeping a hydraulic pump + transfer case preloaded all the time. So yes, you can make a lot of power but there's a reason why people go single turbo for the numbers you're asking about. Don't forget that the RB26 can't even do a straight line pull without oil starving on the stock oil pan either. Baffles can help, but really you just need more oil capacity.
    • Yeah sure, which messenger app is it?
    • would you like to be added to the messenger group?
    • Found some from 2009. The lobster bends were smoothed out on the inside with minimal gaps (perhaps 2mm) where the silicone joiners were used. 
    • And if you have to drive it in a civilised (or excessively woke) US state, find a way to register and insure it in a redneck state, so you can roll coal in it without worrying about legalities.
