hey guys,

just wondering what everyone thinks their ceffy's are valued at?

what they are worth to you?

and if you'd even consider selling, considering what you'd get and the money you've spent?

I know i've spent a heap on my ceffy, and like all cars you will never get back what you've put into it, but i'm just curious about prices.

there are only 7 ceffy's F/S around aus on carsales atm. varying in price from 9500 to 16000!

whats your opinions...

I think if I fixed a few little things up, ie passenger side rear window doesnt go up atm, get that fixed. Id still aim for the $15k mark. Im sure if I waited long enough someone would pay it. Mines a bit different to most tho, hasnt been flogged out drifting.

Ours is probably the most factory standard and unmolested ceffy in the country, to the extent that almost all the worn parts have been replaced by genuine Nissan stuff (much to my horror)... my old man treats it better than he treats me and even washes/buffs it each weekend. he mentioned he'd be looking for about $12000 minimum if he was to sell it.

my brother just sold his for 6.5k (i think) registered (skyline rb20det (under 100k i think), manual conversion, fmic, pod, 3" exhaust)

it needed a new timing belt, the cluster surround had sagged - other then that it was stock

he didn't advertise it though

i'd be chasing about 15-16K for mine cos that's literally what i regard it as being worth...

it's not a drift hack, and it's been very looked after and i think that 15K it's worth that much?

remember its only worth as much as someone is willing to pay :rolleyes:

how much do they usually go for on here?

I think because there are so few (relatively speaking), people are more picky

well i'd accept 14, cos i'm lokoing to move up not just move across as far as cars that i buy go...

mine's a nice ceffy., i would HATE to see it get sold to some kid that will use it as a drift hack.

Yeah, thats probably my biggest fear too.

I still want that 'spare' front lip of yours tho...

Either way I want a house and a V6 passat.

yeah i'm torn if i was to sell i think i would be after mid to high teens for mine. saying that it is drifted, but maintained ridiculously - and had almost every modification possible from styling to suspension to engine build and mods to paint. and its registered

i love my ceff, i just hope that maybe in the future its not worthless :thumbsup: - hence why the topic was started...

yes my badge is acutally studded with genuine swarovski crystals

the shine from them is so deep and on so many levels esp at night under lights they come out orange pink blue all sorts

hmmm, you'd be a happy boy if someone swiped your badge then :)... looks bling though, i like it!

Toffy - nothing is wrong with the ceff :spank:

just thinking... as i would really like a 34 4 door, with massive mods or a jzx100... not for a very long time though lol.

stick with the ceffy mate, neither of those cars have enough on it to warrant selling it :w00t: , once you change colour etc it'll be like a new car to ya again anyways :spank: . about 3 years ago i sold my first ceff with similar thoughts (i bought a r33 4d with intenion to make it a drift hack) , worst move i ever made :)

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
