My Other New Ceffy


Recommended Posts

That's some weird oil/water heat transfer thing.

Uses oil to get water up to temp quicker.

You can probably remove it all-together RB20 style, I've never looked at it, it's pretty handy on teh daily driver for those cold mornings when you just want the heaters working ASAP haha.

Good to hear, it'll be coming out. Doesn't solve the other fouling issue but I'm looking at getting CPC to make up a 26 - 25 adaptor plate for me.

/hijack. back to Nic's ceffy :)

nice and tidy as always, paint looks good

i like the colour matching front lips and one tone cars tho, s13 or c33 is the only one to pull off two tone

thoughts on china spec front facing plenum? should at least make it 500rpms more responsive for full boost, maybe more and i bet its a legal mod in WA :glare:

Yeah been thinking about it since FMIC went on. It only takes 500 rpm to make full boost, does that mean if I get a forward facing plenum, I get full boost instantly, turbo diesel style? That'd be sweeeeeet

HAHA if only, instant boost ftw

so just minus 500rpm from current full boost figures

Well as it is now, begins spool at 2000rpm, 10PSI @ 2500rpm, full boost (13.5PSI) at around 2700rpm.

all those numbers are staggered about 200rpm or so down if it's super cold.

So......

I chucked one of these DRIFT steering wheels onto an AutotecnicA boss kit couple of weeks ago too.

Sorry for teh blurry pics, I've tried for the life of me, to get a sharp pic on my phone, but it isn't happening.

When interior is all cleaned properly, I'll take some day time pics.

Having no self canceling indicators and no horn to abuse shit drivers was driving me insane, so the GT-R wheel had to go.

Now I have both again, so I'm happy.

what trubo is that? figure a r33 s1/2 not a31/c33

with FFP =10psi at 2000k should be fun :P

so AutotecnicA boss kit does self cancel? nice

my stocker does well, no clue why everyone upgrade's when they start drifting except for having to look JDM

best looking wheel = nardi and the china deep dish ones

R34 turbo.

Yep, self cancelling FTW, I thought all boss kits did that ...

No clue why anyone uses deep dish at all on Ceffy/Laurel, since you can just adjust the column, and bring the steering wheel closer.

But, it does look pretty sick.

Done some cosmetics, see below.

Gloss black vinyl on B and C pillars on the doors.

Shields back on.

Some stickers - stickers are cool. More stickers are coming.

Interior shot.

Exhaust fixed up.

Well, that sheet of vinyl, was something like 1000x1500 mm, and it was about $50 delivered (eBay).

Pretty easy to fit, the only hard part was the C pillar, I had to dig up the Cefiro badge I ripped off my old door before I scrapped it, used it as a trace to cut that double-circle shape out of the vinyl, then layed it down.

Not much news on this thing these days.

I got some adhesive suede in from some mob in South Korea off eBay.

I messed it up a little at the passenger end, but apart from that it's on all sweet, very easy to bend in and around the shape of the trim piece.

Much nicer than that manky old beige colored shit that was on there before.

Slapped a fibreglass roof wing on this afternoon for MAXIMUM DOWNFORCE!!

That is all.

I'm gonna try and find someone to modify the rear bar for me, bring the rear wheel arch end of it in a little more so it's radial to the wheel the same as the standard bumper.

Such a nice Cefiro, one of my favorites. Does your front bar have more room behind it than a s1 bar? I'm having problems fitting my lip as the bumper curves out to clear the cooler (which is mounted as far back as possible) and the lip won't mount onto it nicely

Yes, the S1 bar's mounting points are actually the lower radiator support, the S2 bar drops almost straight down.

I have the same problem, my front bar is slightly bent getting around the intercooler, so the lip doesnt set in contact with the bumper on the corners near the headlights/corner lights, I need to modify my mounts and cut the pipes down to pull the cooler back closer.

Better pic of the interior.

She's off the road at the moment.

Only takes one broken cable tie to f**k your shit up.

Gotta patch that up and going to run it through the engine bay this time rather than through the wheel arch.

This is my new daily monster for the time being

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
