i have a nissan cefiro at present moment i've had since i was 19 i'm now 24 and just considering selling it

Is this your daily or your weekend car?

Are you doing lots of km's?

Yes they're an expensive car, if kept as standard as possible you should have very few issues, both GTST/GTR's can be expensive to fix.

For example, clutch install on GTR = $400 labour, GTST=$200, but these are not things you do all the time.

Also, if you don't start modifying you shouldn't have much of an issue, if you go high boost or aftermarket turbo's and blow the engine the rebuild might be 6K if you take out the engine, but if you stay low-boost you should be fine.

Just look after the oil changes et cetera, you can do them yourself :P

Had mine for a year, yeah, it uses more fuel than my Wifes Corolla, but around town it is no worse that my old mans VX Commonwhore. Also has been running upto 20psi, on what turns out to have been stock ceramic turbos. I think they really are just a car that moreso will give back what you give them. Look after them and you will not have any trouble.

*Spun big-ends- Keep maybe an extra 1/2 a litre of oil in it, and spend 30secs a week checking it, mine never moves, but even that is nice to know.

(20v Corolla motors are far worse for this, exhaust goes straight under the Sump and literally cooks the oil, seen one with 2 inchs of sludge after having fresh oil at the start of a rally)

*Blown turbos- Don't run too much boost until you put steel ones on there, I used 20psi many times with stockies on there, (thinking that the way everyone carried on they had to have been steel, because the car was running 20psi from Japland, and "Ceramic turbos explode at 16psi, the first time they ever get there")

Sure for the money you could have bought a newer Rex or Evo... And then you would be kicking yourself when your first gearbox let go....

A mate spent $25,000 on a brand new Kia not long ago, telling me "I really want a Skyline but having a kid etc, want a good reliable family car" Stereo doesn't work, Power windows are intemitent, likewise the wipers, does'nt go into 4th when it is cold, and sometimes when it is warm..... and even worse now it is worth about $15000....

P.S, car looks great, look after it and it will look after you.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
