My Other New Ceffy

[Nic_A31]

For sure man. A lot more torque and off-boost power, quicker spool up.

Only thing I miss about the 20det is the sound.

[toffy]

Yep , so off boost is better but on boost is not?! I have all the bits to make one of mine 2.5 except the engine itself , I'm curious if it's worth the effort ?

[Nic_A31]

On boost is great too.

My 20det on most days would start singing at 2k and make 10psi at 3k, but for everyday driving I found I had to change gears a lot, it bogged down a lot in low revs.

The 25 with r34 turbo starts around 1.9k and 10psi around 2.5k, but even off boost, say 2k through 4k, I can stay in gear without needing to down shift, like going up highway/freeway onramps, stop start traffic, etc. It's much more tail happy too.

It climbs through the revs with a 5kg flywheel about the same as the 20 with a standard flywheel.

I should've just bought this 25 two years ago haha.

Do it man, you won't look back.

[jiri styles]

awesome stuff man, ive been thinking of putting a 25 in my cefiro because i think the 20 is getting a bit tired

[Nic_A31]

I hope all you haters are jelly.

Now, stay tuned for fitment of THIS

On teh way in the next container.

Hopefully less hold ups on this one.

Oh and for the record, 25DET still running flawlessly every day, unlike that god damned RB20.

Best thing I ever did getting rid of that dudd.

[RBC33]

Have you got spacers on the gtr wheels. I think 33gtr rims are porn on laurels/ceffys

[Nic_A31]

No spacers man, just pure fitment

[GravyGarage]

Looks good man. CA lip?

[toffy]

That's a genuine lip , not that I'm jealous or anything Haha . What did that cost you mate?

[Nic_A31]

About 200 landed from memory.

Payed back in November.

110 for the lip itself and yes its oem plastic.

shes a bit rough but ill fix her up.

[NA_Goodness]

Why is it that every time I read one of your build threads, I learn more shit about your car, yet I see you almost weekly?? Hahaha

Btw, give me about 9 months warning before you sell the car, cos... Um... Dibs!

[Nic_A31]

Skirts and rear bar on the way to even it all up.

Gave her another polish.

More pics on the way.

I love the last one! Favourite photo of the whole shoot. Hopefully I get around to processing the rest tomorrow for you.

[toffy]

Cheap for 200$ , i reckon i'll go searching for one myself once i get back to my ceff!

[Nic_A31]

Last minute plans:

That fitment scares me, as I have 9 +22's for my laurel and I want run them daily -__-

[Nic_A31]

She'll be right mate. I got 8kg front, 6kg rear coilovers, only get the scrapes on harsh bumps, so, not very often. Can go full lock either way with no drama's.

[Dan_J]

photo shoot looks great

good find with the front lip

[Nic_A31]

Was starting to hear a harsh scraping sound at low speeds, gradually became louder.

First thought was low brake pads/rotors, but then I kind of got my head around the idea that maybe, finally, the shithouse bearings on the JJR hubs had finally thrown in the towel, since they last about 10'000km max.

Brakes were getting a bit low anyway, and I'd already bought pads, so I swapped out my rotors for another set, got mine machined, and after about half an hour of looking around my house, shed, room, and in both cars, I found the brake pads I'd picked up ages ago.

Did work at my own house (gravel driveway), and took my sweet ass time.

Was a royal PITA trying to get the pistons in the calipers to retract to fit the new pads over the rotors.

Found the source of that scraping sound too.

The other 7 pads were fine, at around 25%

Finished last corner after about 2 hours.

Ran pads in at local industrial area. They're pretty damn noisy between 15kmp/h and 0, but pedal feels twice as good as it did with standard Sumitomo pads.

JJR wheel bearings are still in tip top condition, 35'000kms and still going strong!

New world record!

lol

nick it seems your taking after myself a bit, as you know i did the same to my rears, not too long ago did the same on the front pads!

now the point is to take off my calipers and check them properly at times

whats the deal with these JJR bearings, on paper it says they only last 10,000kms? they better not be pricey to replace
