Hello out there in 4 door land.

I have a 1988 A31 ceff, however mine has a 280Km/Hr dash in it. Has anyone ever seen one of these before in a Cefiro in place of the usual 180Km/Hr dash. Im just interested as mine seems to be the only one with this kind of dash in it. Could it of been taken from another car? I have always though that all the A31's were speed limited to 180km/hr from factory.

Mine is a RB20DET (was a RB20DE from fac) and is a factory manual too. If anyone has any info on this it would be great, im thinking its just an option you could get from when you bought a Cefiro from the show room. Here is a pic of the dash.

Yea works good, had the car around a year and a half now, got it with 51000km on the clock so it had definatley been wound back before it came to AUS 2 years ago.

I just though it might interest some fellow Ceff owners out there, i have seen quite a few Ceff's over here in SA and everyone has had the 180km/hr dash.

Hits speed cut at 190km/hr accroding to my dash :teehee:

Sweet!!

One thing thou...my cefiro was factory auto converted to manual like most and still shows the various P, N, R, 123 etc inbewteen the speedo & revs, the long rectangular area. BUT it appears that yours has the auto section grey'd out / covered. You can see the outline of it in your pic so wondering if it is a auto dash but had the 'auto display' removed......

Mine was never an auto, its a factory 5 spd manual with a RB20DE (says it on the blue plate in the engine bay), i have heard on the grape vine that only 5% of A31 Ceff's came with the Manual box from Factory (probably a load of BS though)

Its the other way around. They add the auto indicators to the middle if its going to be auto and just leave it if its going to be manual.

Mine is the same.

your clearly both freaks.

Oookkkkaaaayyyy...... very insightful there mate LOL :unsure:

Konect - Yeah true they slot the display for the auto's in that area....but that said.... wonder if it is easy to source that 'middle plate' so to replace & remove the auto crap.... i know it is a negligable thing but would make a difference having it there since most are converted IMO....

Hhhmmm might see if it can be sourced...

Yeah thats what i was thinking too. Aren't there a few people on this board from SE Asia with Ceffies? Perhaps they could shed some light on this. (And send us all one).

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
