too many cefiros are sitting on jacks not going, people, mine also, put the head on the 30/26 today, not far away now, yes sir, been spending a far bit of time with my new born, alot more important than the car at the moment.

add mine to being on jacks, was driving back from work on friday and suddenly steam from under the bonnet, thought I busted the radiator, so pulled into a servo and let it cool. topped it up and got home... saturday morning pressure tested the radiator and nothing, no leaks... so filled it back up and let it run, to see coolant dripping from the engine. no oil, so must be head gasket. dropped it off at the shop today and driving the 32 now :blink:

Ha ha!! seeming like a common occurence here,

mine ceff sitting in the shed, doesn't need anything really doing to it as such, but the Laurel on the other hand, GRR!!! had the bonnet flip up on my so need a new screen, bonnet etc etc, got new wheels for it but no money for tyres, and spacers to fit up the slr style guards on the rear like on the front!!

Well as I mentioned in my other thread, someone put a brick through the windscreen back in April and I've been waiting on Nissan to get me a replacement.

Got my garage to ring the dealer today and Nissan say they have no record of us having ever ordering a Ceffy windscreen, and if we want one it'll be 5 weeks for Nissan Japan to accept the order a few weeks for them to fulfill it and then a couple of months to ship it to the UK by boat.

F**king incompetent useless f**king shower of stupid lazy bastards.

So spoke to my garage and the insurance company, and they've agreed to let me buy it myself from Motorsport IRS in Japan who reckon they can get it in 2-3 weeks from Japan for Y87,000 and then send it in a crate via air mail for Y70,000 - Y90,000 so in theory I should have it within a month.

The garage will reimburse me the money as soon as they get the invoide and/or my credit card statement.

Hopefully I'll be back on the road within a month, which will be nice as 3rd gear has broken off my Volvo 940 and if I can just keep it running long enough in this state without having to buy a new gearbox I'll be rather happy.

the motor or the whole car? :cool: , i say put it together :D . a cheap ebay manifold will do?

my updates: yellow sub is sitting at the back of a workshop collecting dust after i finished the 5spd convo, cbf with it atm , laurel got it's lag issue sorted , but still doesn't feel like 200rwk and ceffy is still in my shed getting its dent repaired , i pulled the 20 out and put it back in (was about to fit 25 but want to get it complied/reg first) . I also started repairing the bodykit to put back on so it can be all pretty in nov :D

My updates: New exhaust manifold and split dump pipe, painted ready to rock and roll, just gotta get the old dump pipe off somehow...grrr.

Broken studd is OUT.

Engine bay is getting a gradual clean.

Should be rockin in a few weeks for paint and windshields.

some photos of the 30, nismo turbos, probably a little small, boost comes in a around 2300 and full boost at about 3200, motor is going well, have not got it tuned yet, heaps more torque than the 26, on one of the photos you can see one of my home made sump extentions, now takes around 7 litres of oil.

Haha mmm picture this exactly the way it is but swap those rims for sum work vs mx, 18x9 +13 front and

18x11 +0 on the rear, well that'll be the look once mine is finished, waiting on rims now, then Ill

be gettin car into my work to do 25 transplant out of my wrecked ceffy, gonna be sweet once my

catalogue of parts sittin at home finally dust themselves off and find there way onto my stocker.

^^ Next weekend is a long weekend, I think you should do the transplant then :ninja:

I'm painting the insides of mine at the moment (inside the doors, inside the boot, engine bay, etc), to make the paint job even CHEAPER.

Coilovers coming soon, exhaust, kit, paint, and hopefully a Cefiro by Christmas...otherwise I'll just be broke, and pissed off.

Haha yeah I'd love to get it done then, perfect amount of time, but I still don't have a couple

of bits an pieces left like injector plugs, for the sards, bm44 brake master cyl, assorted fittings

for fuel lines, catch can kit and there might be a couple of other things I might be forgetting,

have to make a list

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
