http://www.goo-net.com/cgi-bin/goojp/used_...pe=maker_search

find one thing wrong with this car

the offset is simply stunning, not to mention i love those rims

full black leather interior with CVT

do you reckon i could get around $30,000 for my car when it gets here? :P

Edited by Midnight x

so is there anything happening with your cars guys?

i would really like mine to be here, im sick of driving a corolla (except filling it up for $35 a week :D)

the new eta for mine is the 7th March in brisbane

i have been doing a bit of research for rim sizes and fitment for the Y34's, which may i add is hard when there is next to none around here or in the US.

but i found this car on VSC.com in the US.

he has

19 x 9.5 +25 on the fronts running 235/35/19

20 x 9.5 +20 on the rears running 245/35/20, which need either camber or a roll to not rub

so i reckon a 19 x 10.5 +20 would fit on the back pretty easy with a bit of a roll, 235 tyres and maybe some camber

the guy was just running lowered springs and the front rims cleared the struts by only 3mm or so.

haha yes....

we have to get some big power figures and some VIP going on and maybe others will be interested.

btw, i picked up a set of insurance group lowered springs for $340 delivered off yahoo japan, BARGAIN :D

Nope, I'm interested! I love performance plus luxury options, and HSV's just don't do it for me. A friend of mine in NZ had a Nissan Infiniti and god damn was it nice. It pissed on most Skylines and yet when doing 120kmh it felt like you were barely moving inside. Then he put on a louder exhaust. Twit.

The Cedric looks hot but please don't lower it to stupid levels, and for god's sake, de-badge the bastard! CEDRIC? GLORIA? SYLVIA? Bloody Nissan...

When there are a few more of these in the country I'll be getting one. Being different is one thing but getting parts is another. Keep us informed boys!

the names have stuck since the early 1960's when they were first produced, Glorias were made by Prince Motor Co and Cedric made by nissan. Cedric is named after a Hero in a fairytale that the President of nissan read and Gloria... well yeah dont know about that one :(

i guess it could be a help with the sleeper thing, all the trev's will tease you about the name but when you blow them away with a handful of mods then you can laugh at them.

my mates tease me about the name already and i havent even got the car yet... i will show them (one in particular with a vx ss)

hey all, thought that i might start writing on here aswell if thats ok, i have got a 2002 gloria gran turismo ultima that is about 2 weeks away from arriving at my house in W.A. Really excited, if anyone as any info about mods i would really love it. cheers all

Linkorban...

sorry Kristian was a oneoff set

the RRP is 29,800 yen and the yahoo buy it now was 12,800 including shipping in japan and taxes

they are coming by ship though so the eta is 6-9 weeks

EMS was an extra $150 so i figured i could wait

Yes they are SSR LM9.

My mate got a set priced up from Streeter for his aristo

19 x 9 +20

19 x 10 +15

295,000 yen which at todays rate is $4540 before shipping and then tyres

well worth the money though in my opinion, but i will be waiting till the yen weakens a bit before buying brand new rims

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
