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

    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
