so now that the 15 year rule law is a thing of the past.. how do you guys forsee the value of Cefiros? I know a few one these board are going for sale.. how does it affect value? steady? sell now or sell in 6 months?

why this thread? well coz Ceffys arent as common as any of the other 15 yr cars (FC, S13, etc, etc).

:rofl:

i have been wondering the same thing. I cant see the price going up much. But i am starting to think holding onto the ceff may be a reasonable idea because i cant see them going down in value for 12 months.

Well the people who have already put money down on theirs can still get them in, so Id take a guess that theres still a fair few coming over (in terms of Cefs, so in comparison to normal cars not that many). But yeah, if people stop selling them so cheap (same with R32 GTRs) the prices should stay steady, and in 12months or so we should be able to get the prices back where they should be, as people might have forgotton that they could have got one for $8k.

If that makes sence.

um ceffies were made in 1988... NO VALUE INCREASE FOR YOU! TO THE BACK OF THE LINE! :whip:

I wouldnt be bringing over a 17yo car tho... Much less something thats older. As my car is over here, people can see a bit of a proper service history, know where stuff is done better etc.

so who wants a laurel :rofl:

got one coming soon . yes the first commened construction in 89

I think the prices will rise cause there is only 3 months worth of production in 89 I was looking for 88 model cefs 2 years ago and even then they were hard to find imagine now. at worse it will be stable.

supply and demand... restricted supply (I mean you find maybe 1 88 ceffy wirth importing a month) and increased demand (more monkey's jumping on the Drift bandwagon wanting l33tzor ceffies for driter posing) means more bling in the near future.

which is why the price should rise... they wont be able to get them imported so will have to pay what people offer. If everyone offers a reasonable price they have no choice...

altho ceffie if u still wanna get rid of ur cef for 12500 with all those nice mods... hold it til my soarers sold :(

saw a couple of ads from the trading post back in november 2004, the prices were between $12k to $15 from memory..... they were something like 88/89 models.

now since no more 15 year old import, im pretty sure that the value will go up, provided there is a demand.

was reading a little column in one of the drift mag or zoom mag, they were saying something like "that the price of ceffie has gone up, cos every bastard wants one........." wonder what the value will be for a ealy 90's ceffie say in 6 - 12 months time :P

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
