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....

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
