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.

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!

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
