So how many have you seen?

I think Ive seen two on the street, other than the one I saw just before I bought mine and the others seen out at the drifts. First one I saw cruising on the Hwy to the Sunshine Coast. It was pink and looked like a drift pig. We both gave it a bit of curry and then cruised side by side. The other was cruising through Ipswich, looked bog stock on the outside. Other than that havint seen any in ages...

Very hard to keep track of, I know of Cefiro's in the Eastern states that were built here in Perth, likewise, my Ceffy is from Queensland.

I know of Cefiro's that were in Perth, went over East, then came back to Perth....yeah, wow.

I can account for approximately 10 known street registered Cefiro's in Perth, and have seen 5 with my own eyes.

There'd be another 10 or so that are B Class Rego/Race Use only, or unregistered, plus mine.

As for others, I know of 2 Laurels in Perth, and have seen one on the road.

I know of 2 Cima's, seen both, one registered.

Have seen Cedric's for sale, and there is currently an 1965 Cedric for sale here in Perth, still to find any Gloria's, Leopards, etc

Whats the total? Anybody seen any government roads stats or something?

I'll bet 200 tops to be safe, and lean more towards 100 tops, including track cars?

Laurels, half that figure

Cima/Gloria/Cedric, half that figure again ?

1st ceffy i saw in person was the one i bought, i see antiskeptic (white uras kitted ceffy?) rarely, and shan's ceffy is just down the road.... or in the shop now getting a rb25 or a rebuild rb20 i'm guessing

so bout 3? lol

there's quite a few cefiros going around in adelaide. you dont see them often, i might see a different one every 1 to 2 weeks...

it would be hard to estimate the total getting around, but from what ive seen on the road so far, id say 15 and up. probably a lot more than that tho

hardly ever see any laurels. in the last year i reckon ive seen no more than 3.

I live in the North of Sydney and theres only a handful that I know of, maybe 7 at most and I know most of the owners through SAU :D

When I got my first black car, it was one of the only ones on the Eastern states back in 01'

See a couple floating around...

  • Dan's in his backyard haha
  • Ontryl's when I used to live in Berwick
  • Stock one on the gold coast a few weeks ago
  • Gold one around Warrandyte a couple of times

I would estimate the number at ~100, but still I can't get a rear bumper lol

LOL i'll swap you, my stock kit, for your kit, i'll pay for the exhaust and cage, and freight if you can cram it in ;)

They cant be that hard to find, I've seen eBay sales go up and come down because they got crashed before end of sale, so hunt around ?

You reckon around 100, on road? or total? I think there'd be more counting the trackies.

theres 7 maybe 8 cefiro's in tas and 2 laurel :P

And between us we have half of them Toff :cool:

There would be mine and yours 2 ceff, 2 laurel

Pat/Benny G's old one, black

purply coloured one up north

greeny silver one, that was NA

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets
