Hi guys, this is my new ride which I've just imported in. It's a manual with an rb20 (non turbo). Has a nice Lsd, lowered suspension all round and some rims (am hoping to get a new full set soon). Imported the car from japan and am getting it ready to meet uk road regulations, only mod on the car I've done so far is the steering wheel. Have had quite a few nissans in the past from a c32 laurel, s13 200sx and my daily drive a 3 door hatch 87 sunny. Here's a few pictures of the cefiro, 1st 1 was taken when the car was in japan..

nice car mate... hehe mine's pretty close to that look right now too with the 16"s... AE86 drivers go gaga for your rear wheels BTW if you're selling em. make sure you capitalise on their infatuations.

oh and be careful of those weatherstrips, after 15 years of being on the car they tend to fly off at speeds over 130km/h.

lol Sloane if you think their backyards are small, you should check out their roads.

Not yet, my girlfriends dad moved out to australia a while back so we're hoping to come visit soon. Have been thinking about maybe moving out there 1 day.

Everywhere here's expensive these days mate, fuel's on it's way down now but was @ £1.37 for diesel and around £1.24 for unleaded not so long ago. Your normal roads I'm guessing may be similar size to some of our industrial estates but our's are still probably a bit smaller.

So what sort of mods can I do to get a bit more power (no turbo). I like my cars a bit quiter these days so keeping the stoch back box on the exhaust but looking @ de-cat and 2-1 manifolds.. what modifications are out there?

Update on my car, Still not on the road yet.... failed uk mot due to needing 4 new tires, new wiper blades and front coilovers are shot, among other minor bits. Not really impressed with it so far, this is how it arrived from japan. rear completely bold tires front one punctured, drivers electric window stuck half open (bought new switch but seems motor is the problem) and I'm having trouble sourcing one, though am told an r32 4 door one is the same?? So I've just splashed out on a full brand new set of coilovers which I'm well happy with. Just gotta save some more now before I can do anything else. Looking at getting a new set of wheels, and a 2 branch manifold and de-cat when I've got a bit more cash. ....wish it was on the road!

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest.

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.

      Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...

      If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.

      If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
