I've got an 89 A31 (and an 89 R32). Cefiros are rare in the US. I only know of one besides mine. I plan on drifting it.

Some info:

Factory 5-speed

Cheap ebay front mount ic

Custom exhaust

Bosch 040 fuel pump

KSRom ECU - Was already in the car, don't know the tuning

Custom one-piece drive shaft

Cusco coilovers on the front & Tein on the back. - Getting replaced with Powered-by-Max coilovers

Z32 brake & 5-lug conversion

Braided brake lines

Stock r32 wheels on the front & 17x8 +30 Work Equips on the back

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!

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.

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.

I don't even want to talk about all the hoops I had to jump through for registration. Lets just say I don't want to go through that again. Ever.

How ironic, when Detroit is churning out those massive SUV's :banana:

Feel sorry for you mate!

My turbo died. Long live the turbo!

2j1v429.jpg

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.

Looks good man!

Any more mods for the Ceffy before drifting?

Nice R32 GTR! A rear sight in the USA, so I guess your lucky!

Pics of the R32 engine?

Yeah... Um... Get some better offset wheels :D

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

The kit was on the car when I bought it. 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. :happy:

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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
