I have had my Nissan Y34 Cedric VIP 300 for a few months now. Got it off Iron Chef.

It looked like this but with stockies on it.

After a few weeks i got it tinited.

Then after waiting a few months for my wheels to arrive they were put on with a slight gaurd roll on the rear and front and it sat like this for a couple of months.

Wheels are 19" Work LS406's with custom Burning Black Painted Centres. Sizes are 19 x 9 + 20 and 19 x 10.5 +20. 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 Sumitomo Z3's

After spending a few weeks trying to work out how to go about the busted Shocks it had i finally manned up and Ordered a set of JIC FLT FAR Coilovers. Had some great help from Importmonster Guys with this. If you need anything for your car hit up www.importmonster.com.au. They will help you out as much as they can and with anything you want from japan. Be it for your car or some random japanese thing. They can pretty much source anything.

I have put a sub and amp and replaced 6 of the 10 speakers in the car for my enjoyment.

I have plans of getting a kit for it. Just have to save up the money for the kit.

I hope to one day get some engine mods for it. Bigger turbo and injectors, Front Mount and the likes.

But the stock VQ30DET engine has enough balls for cruising around adelaide for now.

Id like to thank Matt and Joe from Wheelworx for helping me get the rims and tyres.And for letting me do it all at work.

Stewie from SFR for helping me put the coilovers in.

Adam from 619 Customs for the sick installs bro and the tint :banana:

I will be out and about in the thing as its my daily. Alot of ppl think it's a new Unrealesed Merc. Alot of ppl just stare trying to work out what it is.

If you want to come down and have a better look Come down to Wheelworx on Port road. Ask for Brenton (me)and I'll answer any questions ya have about it.

K Thanx Bye.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
