That looks awesome, both the car and the photos. What mag is that, who took the pics?

Thanks. Managed to get it running again on Sunday with help from a few friends.

Thanks. Bonnet will be getting resprayed white soon. Yeah I think they're 17x9s, not sure about the offset, is that written inside the rim? When I went for the hills run where I took the video above, it was rubbing a little bit, but only on very bumpy hard corners. Not that I've had an opportunity to drive it much due to my health, but it's never scraped daily driving even with a full car.

That made me miss my old R31. The film is very well shot and edited, most people not involved with photography/film-making wouldn't appreciate just how much time goes into simply setting up shots, particularly rig & moving dolly shots. Let alone editing it together so it flows well, then timing for music to come in and sync with video, etc, etc. As a few others have mentioned, the music was pretty unbalanced compared to the rest of the clip and quite loud. Some more profile shots in the garage would have been good, eg. direct shots of front, side, rear etc. And it would have been good if you'd been able to merge onto a freeway/100 zone so you could give the car a bit of stick, obviously with the location you had to drive pretty sedately. Exterior shots of same would have been nice to hear the car from outside where it's noisiest. Apart from those nitpicks it's a nice short film of a very clean car.

Want to buy/swap a white bonnet for a Cefiro with my black one.

Is this the same one? Took this shot in June 2009.

Hey guys, been on SAU for a long time but haven't been particularly active. Don't have a thread about my Ceffy here, so I'll post some photos, videos and the story of the car since I've owned it. I've only been well enough it to drive it once in almost a year, and that was only for about 10 minutes in September, due to extremely debilitating illness (See blog link in my sig for a little more detail), but hoping to be able to jump back into the driver's seat again soon. So here's what's happened so far... Having sold my old R31 coupe at the start of 2008, I missed having a RWD turbo, so started looking around for a Cefiro. Main reasons being four door practicality for work and daily driving, fairly cheap, and getting the sound & power of an RB turbo engine without the ‘please pull me over’ circle tail-lights. Also wanted something that was appropriate for having a go at drift practices/track days/motorkhanas etc for a bit of fun. Saw this one on carsales for a reasonable price, so went over to have a look. With Adelaide being Adelaide, after making a call I discovered I knew the guy selling it, and had his 400rwkw R33 GTR on my list of feature cars to shoot. Had a few body marks and scratches, as you’d expect on a 22 year old car, and looked rather drift pig-ish with the panda colour scheme and burnt rear bar. But aside from the cosmetic stuff it seemed like a good base, no sign of any rust and with the engine and interior in good nick, and I picked it up for $7k, and started to fix a few things up in between using it for feature shoots and resting at home on my extra bad health days. Off the top of my head, current mods on it are: Tein coilovers all round 2-way mechanical diff Nismo heavy duty clutch Strut braces front and rear 17” Buddy Club P1 wheels 5 stud conversion Skyline brakes Sprint sports steering wheel Bride bucket seat R33 passenger seat Apexi boost gauge 3” turbo back exhaust into twin 2” straight pipes Oil catch can (Came with BOV and turbo timer but removed both) Some basic shots of the car at the guy's compliance workshop... (I moved the boost gauge over to the side, having it in front of the speedo/tacho was annoying) Came back the next night to pick it up, one of the headlights was going on and off intermittently so stopped off at a mate's place to check it out. Had to take it to an auto electrician to sort it out in the end, it was a problem with the contacts which is apparently common across much of the Nissan range. Parked at home in the driveway. The rear tyres didn't have an awful lot of tread left, so I stopped in to a tyre shop and picked up some new ones. Trying to tone down the patchwork look a bit, I changed the black bootlid to a spare that came with the car. I was under the impression it was the same colour, but after taking off the bubble wrap it turned out to be light grey, which didn't stand out quite so much as black from a distance. They really aren't held on by much, just four little bolts. Two minutes with a ratchet and you're done. I also did an extremely dodgy stopgap spray paint job on the rear bar, just to cover up the burnt & melted part until I could get it in to be fixed up properly. Went for a short drive along the coast to Outer Harbour one afternoon and took a few snaps. The cannon muffler looked like it was hanging rather low, both from behind and side-on, so I went over to Smooth Garage to get some twin 2" pipes made up as a tidier looking and tougher sounding replacement. Got the flashes out and took a few strobed photos down at Port Adelaide, the first one made it into a Speedhunters "Your Classics' post: http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/08/10/readers-rides-gt-gt-your-classics-pt-2.aspx I had a few weeks where I wasn't too well, but was able to get out in late May for my favourite hills run up Gorge Road to Lobethal, and back through Norton Summit. I took an incar video out of interest to see how well a P&S on a suction cup mount would work from the rear window, it turned out quite well considering. The next week I dropped the car in to a panel beater to respray the boot and rear bar, and cut a neat hole around the burnt part. Also left the badges off for a cleaner look. Still no show pony but looks a lot more respectable from behind than when I first got it. Unfortunately picking it up was one of the last times I've driven the Ceffy. After a couple of months of torturous stints in hospital with my paralyzed stomach problems, I've been too sick to drive at all since. So for the past 9-10 months or so it's basically been sitting in the garage gathering dust and cobwebs. It hasn't been started at all after the battery went dead in September, although I have a trickle charger to hook up so I can try to get at least it running again. And hopefully I'll be strong enough to drive again at some point soon, I miss it. Looking forward to a day where I can simply go for a nice drive on my favourite hills roads. There's a cooler and piping waiting in the garage which I'm planning to install, but with the ability to work & earn money very uncertain for some time to come I'm not sure what's going to happen with it now. Pondering whether to change the bonnet to a white one, I sort of like the black but it attracts unwanted attention. This was starting it in September after not having turned the car on since June, it started and ran surprisingly easily and smoothly. And the Gorge Road drive in May 2010, only half-decent hills drive I've been able to manage since I bought it. (Don't expect anything too exciting) Last weekend I was actually able to drive properly for the first time in almost a year, got behind the wheel of a friend's S14 for a little while which was nice.I would like to get the Ceffy running again, so if I feel up to it I can go for a drive for a few minutes every now and then. It's had the same petrol in it since last June, and as I said hasn't even been started since September. What's the best thing to do; maybe get it towed to a workshop to change the fuel and fluids to get everything moving again? A bug bomb might not be a bad idea as well, considering the amount of visible spiderwebs. I want to get the bonnet resprayed white as well, the black one sticks out like a sore thumb which I don't want. Or if anyone has a white bonnet they want to swap, that would be good too.

That's an awesome looking Ceffy. My girlfriend hates that mine is white, and her favourite colour is purple, I'm sure I'd get less complaints if I had yours instead.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago.

This combo is full of win. Planning to get a Ceffy soon and that's pretty much what I would want it to look like.

Make/Model: R31 Nissan Skyline GTS coupe Year: 1987 Kilometres: 122xxx on engine, unsure of car k's. Trans: Manual 5 speed. Engine: Silvertop RB20DET from Cefiro (I think, no bov) Colour: Black Mods: Silvertop RB20DET conversion Xtreme heavy duty clutch Nismo Sports leather wheel 3 inch turbo-back exhaust K&N pod filter Projector headlights Stage 2 paralyser alarm, immobiliser & central locking Pioneer deck 16" Oz Wheels 5 spoke rims Registered: Yes, never been defected. Accident History: None that I know of. Small dent in front bumper from previous owner. Other comments: Nice smooth powerful car to drive, sounds great with the exhaust and pod...strong RB20 sound. Paint is in good condition, I've had quite a few people mention how nice it looks for the car's age, looks really good clean and polished. Very good front tread and good rear tread. I've had the car serviced regularly, in addition to replacing some coolant hoses, putting an alarm and stereo in, new rims and tyres, steering rack boots, and other bits and pieces. I have receipts for all mechanical work, tyres and general maintenance. It's been my daily driver for the past 8 months or so and I've done a bit over 13 000 kms in that time. The front brake discs probably need machining at some point, and there's some slight damage underneath the doorhandles from an attempted break in. Apart from a couple of small marks on the left rear quarter panel it's pretty clean. I've loved owning and driving this car, but unfortunately due to chronic health problems I'm unable to work much, and can't really afford to keep a car at the moment while I'm trying to set up my business properly as well. So it's a reluctant sale, I hate to see it go, but I hope someone else can enjoy this car as much as I have. Any questions PM me or call/msg 0423 492 708. I'm in Adelaide, western suburbs. $7k ono.

I saw so many 33s driving to the city this afternoon...also a white 34 with RUNVS plates on the Salisbury highway around midday.

That was a good fun cruise, perfect day for it. Great to see some nice cars out and about, I seemed to be the lone R31! Have quite a few pics from the cruise up in the NS thread... http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...1551&st=270

Saw orange R32 'not urs' on the corner of Marion & Richmond Road early this afternoon.

You beat me to it Howie...thanks. I think you win though, that's one nice 34.

I bought a fuel tank for my HR31 coupe about two weeks ago, only to find out yesterday that the leaking was from a loose o-ring seal, and not the actual tank as I originally thought. Wreckers won't take back parts after more than a week, so I now have a fuel tank which I don't need to use. $220 ono. Call or text 0423 492 708/[email protected]

I think they may be on Main North Road near Blair Athol? Could be someone else though.

Couple of nice cars there...you usually don't want to be shooting directly into the sun though. The one of the rears looks nice with the sun lighting them up.
