JaysCefy

Hello all.  I'm a US military member stationed in Japan and have just bought a 92 Cefy.  I haven't actually taken possession of it yet, but it's on it's way (shipping to Okinawa from mainland).  The car is RB20DET, factory 5 speed so wherever I go next it can come with me. Even to the US with it's absolutely ridiculous import laws.  While in Japan my plan is mostly minor stuff, but once she gets back to the States with me (whenever that may be) I plan to put my RB25DET and trans in.  Looking forward to learning a lot here and will be relying on you guys since the US never got the Cefy.

No pictures yet because I didn't think to save any from the dealer where I bought it.  At least on Okinawa and among US folks, Cefy's are pretty rare. I've only seen one in person. Countless Skylines of all types, JZXs, RX-7s and Supras.  Not that many C33s or A31s at all.  And I imagine even fewer in the US.

The price depends on several things. Mine was a good deal, $4300 US shipped from mainland, the body looks to be in really good condition and interior looks more or less brand new (Japanese tend to take really good care of their cars) but it has about 204000 km on it, which is fairly high for Japan. My 91 RX-7 that died on me only had 105k when it let go.

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
