I'm thinking of selling the Cefiro. 89 model. I'm going to put it back to as stock as possible.

Only mods will be:

Front mount

Turbo from R33

Tints 15%

Full exhaust from turbo back

Walbro fuel pump

Had $2k spent on engine, seals, timming belt, bearing etc

AVS model 6 rims 16"

JIC ciolovers that probably need rebuilding.

Autech front bar and skirts

Needs some pannel work on front left guard, paint on roof fading.

How much does everyone think i could sell it for? How difficult are they to sell? i'd like to get $11-$12k

It does have good coilovers in it atm. I just thought i wouldn't get the money for them if they went with the car. They are only 1.5 years old. And paint isn't that good. 90% of the car has good paint, just the roof and a few rough spots. So maybe i'll have to look at $10k

Yes thats it, i'm a f4g.

I actually haven't decided yet. The reason i'm thinking about it is i've imported a '97 180sx that i was planning on selling. But now that its arrived i kind of like it. Biggest selling point is that it's so new compared to the Cefiro. When you get in the car you can really tell the difference. I haven't driven the 180 yet so i don't know if i'll like it as much as the ceffy. I really love the Cefiro, thats why this is such a hard decision. Every day i seem to change my mind.

Here's some pics of the 180 i took yesterday at the compliance place.

Looks like a nice example! I went from a 180sx to a Cefiro but I also went from a SR20 to a RB25. 180's are a damn nice car, the SR is a tough motor and so easy to make power out of.

I think you will be happy with either car from the sounds of it.

One thing to consider the coilovers will go directly into your 180, and vise vera. Therefore if you put the cefiro up for sale you have room to move on price.

The 180 came with Teins. But yeah i would pull out all the suspention mods on the ceffy and put them on the 180. And if it doesn't have a mech diff i'll be swapping that over as well. i'll just loose all the engine mods. I reckon i've spent about $4.5k that i won't get back. So i have to weigh that up as well. The idea of things not wearing out every month is what is most appealing.

94 - 98 had digital climate control. 96 onwards had 180sx stamped on nicer seats and updated dash with digital odo. 96+ also had updated taillights and bodykit. Having owned a 91 model and driven quite a few 96+ models I would definitely be happy owning a 97 model, just a much nicer car inside. Keep in mind the blacktop SR20DET is like the redtop in that is doesnt have VCT.

From a sensible point of view. How much are you going to get from the sale of either or. Then compaire that to fuel economy, maintance, resale value in say 2 years time, parts blah blah etc.

Im at the point now where I either go spend $10k on the cef on new door rubbers, carpet, dash, rebuild the diff, new engine etc, or sell it and buy a new car. Either way its going to work out about the same money. That or a put up with an old car.

Long term the 180 is the sensible option. Newer car, newer engine. less likely to break/wear out things.

Short term i'll earn money selling the 180, whereas it will cost me money to sell the ceff and keep the 180.

other draw back is I know i'll want to mod the 180 if i get it. Whereas i'm pretty happy with the performance of the ceff right now. It's just the condition of the rest of the car that would need attention down the track.

gees Drew dont go and circum to the pain of not owning a Cefiro :P

Do what i am doing and liven up the old girl yourself.... nothing like a bit of elbow grease and gazillion weekends cleaning up a Cefiro....

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
