Hello all!

I recently aqquired a nice Y31 1988 Cima.

This is the first time I have purchased one of these 'luxury' style cars and was wondering if any of you Japan gurus :rant: knew the specifications?

It is a VG30DE (T) I believe? also it has airbag suspension :)

Thats about it?

Any specification you guys have?

Thanks in advance, Gary.

Sorry but why would you want to buy a Y31 Cedric Cima? This could be the reason no one has answered, or could be no one knows the specs.

Well they came with VG30DE and DET with 200ps/26.5kgm and 255ps/35.5kgm respectively...only in 4AT and weight about 1550kgs. If you haven't noticed they are called Cedric Cima or Gloria Cima, but yours seems to look like a Cedric Cima from the chrome on the bonnet. Basically cosmetic and interior differences really, this particular model externally they are identical while internally they had different trims and steering wheel. Traditionally the Gloria is the more upmarket between the two as you can see there is a M45 Infiniti in the states which is basically a Gloria running a VK45DE.

That's about all I know about them, Justin, Dave may know more.

Because in my opinion they are nice cars, sure I could VIP style it if I wanted to :D

But all the money goes to the GT-R, I want something 'different' to drive in the meantime, hence the Cima.

Plus the car has a few parts in it for an RB26 :)

Which are padlocked and insured, can't trust the wharfies.

Nah... good on you Gary! Go the different route.

I kinda agree with Troy though, there isn't much to say about the Cedric/Glorias. I did take a pic of one in the Photo Diary which had HUUUUUGE wheels and looked awesome, but theres little else going for them.

    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao 
    • It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.
    • 800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.  
    • Hiya guys,    i’m currently in the process of getting my rb26 built. everything is being replaced with better/upgraded parts or oem when that’s good enough (which isn’t alot lol). someone earlier mentioned to me that i’ll be screwed cause the iron block can’t take 800hp (to the engine, not wheels) which is what it’s being built for.  what do you guys think about this, am I cooked or na? The guy building the engine will also do the mapping as he is “the guru of old nissan engines” here in Belgium. I know the mapping makes a huge deal so i’m not concerned about that.    I honestly he’s talking shit cause he’s that kinda guy but a second opinion never hurt anyone! cheers in advance! 🫶🏻
