I searched on here, the only result suggested FibreVision....so I hit up YellowPages and WhitePages today, baffled by different addresses and phone numbers, I tried both, no answer...are they still active ?

Then I reluctantly gave The Spoiler Shop a call, guy says he doesnt really do them, but can get a hold of a kit (name I cant remember and didn't recognize) for a C31 Cefiro...so maybe his indexing got C33 and A31 mixed up, seeing as they're usually interchangeable I wouldn't really care but didn't like the sound of it, and Im not driving all the way to Myaree to see the picture in his shop, especially since PowerCruise is on this weekend.

Checked Monkey Warehouse site this arvo, they list JShop (now goners), The Spoiler Shop and some repair joint as WA dealers.

I'm not massively keen on URAS...the one VivaGarage show looks decent, but still looks somewhat plain and I doubt I could run legal height clearance and keep it looking decent.

I'll ask KYP when I go back with a list of shit I'm chasing, but until then, does anybody have any suggestions as to where I can import a kit in Perth, preferably a factory Autech kit or Monkey Warehouse or similar ?

What the hell man? Had such a good run tracking down parts up until this last week, suddenly nobody knows what a Cefiro is and parts dont exist anymore ??

Google linked me into that site, directly on a page with an East Bear kit, so they do sell it but it doesnt come up in Search ? Weird

Kit is an odd one man, the back is VL, the front actually looks like a pedophile bear that hosts kids TV shows...."hehe come here little boy", no, f**k that, time to drop a skid and haul ass. Hey if it floats your boat thats cool man :D

I'd prefer A31 S2 / Autech / Monkey Warehouse / URAS, in that order.

minus the boot spoiler... group a no thx plz. or whatever the kids i run down in mums corolla are saying these days.

at least i can brag and say how awesome it is to have an autech kit. oh wow, it's an amazing feeling. yep.

autech/d-max/east-bear/BN. find me pics of monkey warehouse. am intrigued.

^^ Agreed.

Thats UGLY!!! looks more rice for a civic than a ceffiro, URAS puhlease :)

use your imagination. delete rear spoiler, lowered severely, on 15x10s with severe stretch tyres. very high straight pipes

BO-SO-ZO-KU MAN

to be honest. i'm happy to get another autech kit, and lower my car more. i don't even scrape over speed humps :ermm:

where can thou get autech? nic, group buy?

Nobody really sells them, have seen a few batches made in fibreglass though, so might look into that.

I'd prefer Autech or a Series 2 (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cef-North-America-t260225.html) seing as they look decent without lowering.

Think our best bet is to import them via Japan, unless somebody in Perth can make them if we give them one to copy ??

I'll ask KYP for price on ordering 3 (cant think of anybody else that will need one (and not break it)), cool cool?

cool cool man. s2 is a good-looking kit!! wow.

there'd be a shitload of people who could replicate fibreworks i'm thinking. there'd have to be. big part of a fair few industries.

i'll look into who could possibly do that monday i think. give the good ol' ring around.

mmm i had wonder kit, sold that, no i have uras/monkey warehouse, wonder was too chunky for my liking

and if you wish to keep your ride height under wraps with the popo youre gonna need 18's to keep it up

off the ground, unless you decide to to go autech

erm. variety?

quite literally 99.999999999999 of the population of people have never even heard of a cefiro.. variety does not occur.

Autech is still the best. We all need one.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
