the subframe bushes, what do they suit, and what brand are they, d project?

ring it and see

fail on my last post. thats just what the last owner told me. now with rb25, splitfires, microtech lt12s, fmic, 3" catback, avcr running .85bar.

interested in the box, does it come with the release lever for the clutch and a yoke?

ive owned my ceffy since may, and have seen 3 on the road, one in sydney, one in coffs harbour and one in brissy. not too many about.

i'd probably have not wasted the money on painted rocker covers and spent it on some shiny new poncams, but thats just me.

i just bent mine a little when they were fully extended, nice and sturdy now haha just a little hard to pull the bonnet back down that first few inches

yeh throw fork whatever nissan call it, subaru call it a release lever. im pretty keen on this, might take a week or two to get the cash though ill keep in touch.

pretty keen to put one of these in my ceffy, can you confirm this is an early model/series 1, comes with the yoke and do you still have the release lever?

if your still after sound and keen to do a big conversion why not a vh45de?

im no engineer but would tractive effort just be a fancy word for torque measured at the wheels?

torque, in my opinion should always be measured at the flywheel. gears and differentials will amplify torque. most people use 4th gear on a dyno because it is the closest to a 1:1 ratio supposedly, and will give a more accurate torque figure, using first gear would give a torque figure maybe 5 times higher because of the lower ratio. ive heard a few people say they have 2000nm of torque and they laugh at ford f6's which make 550nm. in truth the ford would probably chop them. its all about where you take your reading with torque. hope that answers your question.

thread revival. can anyone confirm this? just sold my other car so got some cash to spend on a spare gearbox for the cefiro.

yeah im running a lt12s on the 25 in my cefiro and it is a pig when its cold. idles like ass. sometimes within the first minute it just stalls on its own or if i touch the throttle too heavily. it hates cold starts and from what ive picked up, low voltage too. runs perfect in my opinion when its warm though. and with similar mods to you but ignition coils that were totally rooted i only made 190kw with 12psi. only found out they were stuffed once the tuner increased the boost. booked in again in 2 weeks. if i hadnt bought the car with a microtech fitted already i'd have gone for a pfc.

nah i said that the ratio wouldnt change unless it had been recalibrated, and as far as i know, mine hasnt. the avcr reads 200rpm at idle. i dont know whats doing there. its way off. but yeah its the original rb20 cefiro box with a rb25 infront of it.

yeah the wheel size/diff ratio wont affect the measured speed displayed by the speedo, because it is tailshaft rpm, and that ratio will always remain the same regardless of wheels/diff<edit> (unless it has been calibrated). so what im asking, does anyone else have a 5th gear that looks like that. or do i have some freak short ratio box. alternatively, the car is running a microtech ecu. could the tacho be reading incorrectly? the avcr reads the rpm different to the tachometer. when the car was tuned last i told them to put a limiter on. and unless they set it somewhere on the wrong side of 8000rpm, it hasnt got one. which makes me think, maybe they did set it. and the tacho is reading high. going back for another tune in a few weeks i guess ill get them to check it out.

is this standard for 5th gear in a cefiro? seems a bit high to me. but probably isnt.

ah cool seems like ill be fixing it. never played with fibreglass before though, time to learn..

reckon it would cost much to fix? or is fibreglass easy to repair yourself. im keen to do it myself.

drove off the worlds smallest gutter on the weekend, cracked the front of my sideskirt, i dont know what kit is on the car to order a new one. heres some pics.

drove off the worlds smallest gutter on the weekend. messed up my sideskirt a bit. just wondering if any of you guys could shed any light on what sorta kit it is. the bloke i bought the car off told me but ive since forgotten.

mines plug and play.. might have a look for something to plug it into.

yeah just noticed in my cefiro, has had a rb25det conversion before i bought it. the o2 sensor isnt plugged in. running a LT12s could this be the reason that 400km is a good tank? or is my right foot to blame like i originally thought.

ahh i just posted in another thread similar to this, but i have the same problem, my rear right window goes down when i turn the ignition on.

while we're on the topic, when i turn my key to ignition, my rear right window goes down. sometimes all the way, usually only part way. i have no idea why.
