Hi. I just bought a ceffy here(Russia) and its pretty much banged up. Have to buy new front fenders, and got a good deal on S13 ones. Just not sure if they gona fit normally. The price would be about the same if i would order new ones from japan(plastic ones) for A31 or buy the ones i've been offered, its just about shipping time =) And I suppose if fenders gona match headlamps and grill also will?

My copy of NissanFAST lists the same part number, but it does that with alot of shit, Im fairly sure S13 fenders are different.

Do as much measuring as you can and if the S13s are cheap enough it cant hurt to get them and try, maybe they'd just need some rolling or whatever (S13 bumpers fit onto Ceffies upside down, so who knows). Havent seen it be done yet.

Consider finding some DMAX vented guards ? fibreglass and a bit cheaper, they pop up on eBay sometimes, in the For Sale section here, or sites that sell body kits for Cefiro's usually have them or can find them. Brand spankers from Nissan would cost you a fair bit.

I highly doubt it. For one the indicators are different shape.

The cefiro front bumper wraps around whereas the silvia guards go down to the bottom of the bumper.

They might fit on the car but then you'll need to use S13 lights and bumpers.

I don't see why you would bother trying when you say you can get genuine brand new from japan for the same price.

Lol a simple search on google (images) would have told you that they were different. They have nothing in common.

Yeah now i pretty much see they wont fit. Why bother ? Cuz the ones i'll order from japan will ship to moscow around 15-20 days, and s13 ones are already here. Thnx for answers anyway ) I Would ask alot of stuff here in near future. Just bought ceffi around a month ago and there's alot of stuff to do about it. Might post some photos when it gona be abit better shape ^_^

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
