DanShirts Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Nice looking cars, bet you get some strange looks with the ceffy? even if it's a track only car lol Most people think it's just a funny looking car but there are a few that are almost hostile about it.. I usually get harassed by the V8-Muscle-Car guys when I go to the track. But they are beginning to respect RB motors!

DanShirts Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Are you allowed to drive it on the road if it's right hand drive? Right hand drive isn't a problem. We have crazy emissions and safety laws that take a large mountain of paperwork and money to comply with. I still haven't been able to get the R32 registered.

I still haven't been able to get the R32 registered. Isn't the usual trick over there to acquire the VIN plate from a crashed 240SX and then "repair" your 240SX by welding in a Skyline shaped chassis around the remaining part of the 240? Did you get the Ceffy registered at all? Presumably as a Maxima.

DanShirts Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 My turbo died. Long live the turbo! It's a Holset HE351. Very similar to the HX35. Still have stock injectors so it leans way out and pulls timing. With a bad tune and weak injectors it made 288hp (215rwkw) on 18 psi. I'll post up a dyno chart when I get some injectors and a good tune.

Nic_A31 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Nice looking Ceffy mate. What kit is that you've got on? Looks like a modified factory kit, but not quiet an Autech kit ? Looks awesome...except for your Intercooler not sitting level, that looks a bit weird, make sure you cable tie that back up properly hey ? haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/260225-cef-in-north-america/#findComment-4827077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is, but it's not Autech. The intercooler is level now. I cut some off the crash guard to make it fit.

I cut some off the crash guard to make it fit. Must just be a modified factory kit? Did you get the car from Japan, or somewhere else ?? Front bars have to be cut in any case to fit a FMIC in, which sucks, over here cops love to give us trouble for it, apparently painting them black makes them invisible ? Havent tried it yet, but I know a black intercooler would make a white / light colored Ceffy look f**king mean.
