I dunno man, I'm just over it. I get home from work, see it sitting in the driveway and it pisses me off, the resto project is just COVERED in shit inside and out, top to bottom, havent even looked at that one in over 6 months.

I bought the car because it was reliable, and it's turned out to be worse than the shitter resto.

I just wanna f**k them both off and join the army already - it's at the point now where it has compromised my happiness....cars shouldnt do that man.

Hi Guys,

haven't been on here in a while.

pretty impressed there is a WA Cefiro community happening.

anyway reason i post is i was wondering if anyone has an idea as to where my old cefiro might be.

it was the clearner of the two Red Speedwork sponser drift cefiro

it had RB25 with HKS t300 turbo and external gate

GTR front monnt with piping that looped back over the standard plenum

five stud conversion, all adj arms in the rear

red sparco drivers seat rest of interior was black

there would be holes in the floor from the bolt in cage it did have

thanks

Stewart

Hey stewart! Ages since seen you in here.. Haha. I saw your old car at a shopping centre car park a few months ago I think maybe carousel? But yea.. Red cefiro diana kit held together with red sticky tape. And shit rims too. Broke my heart to be honest! Your car was full of win when you had it.. Why'd you want to know where it went? You want it back? :-P

Nic - na don't need to borrow a car man. I pedal bikes n shit yo .

how strange - a few months ago i was saying to the guys that cefiros are a strange car - often people buy them, then sell them... only to then buy them BACK again..

honestly from when i saw it i don't know if i would bother.. it looked like it'd REALLY seen better days, man..

you should've come in about a week ago i would've gladly let you buy mine!!!!

shame really =(

the "WA cefiro community" is really only me (even though i sold out a week ago) Jason Nic and a few other guys.. other than that there's antilag..

talk to Nic_A31 - he's selling a decent condition one.. road-going .. registered.. coilovers, GTR rims. RB25 and manual - never even been driven!!! what more could you ask for?

other than that - kris (ironchef) has one that he's selling.. needs exterior love but aside from that seems okay? 9,600 landed (pre 89 import)

also has a laurel dash and digital climate control - pimpppppppp!!! :D

*bump*

so what's news guys??

how's everyone's car coming along?

i saw a pic of eddie's (cupcakes) car. looked nice...

jason took me for a ride in his dragon... that thing is... very ... good... at... going... at the speed limit.

you guys prolly dont care bout my thing but ill share :)

well after some long and logical thinking decided to ditch the rb26 idea as i really dont have the money for a balls out 26 project.

so pulled the sr20 outta the cef as that spat its valve guides and decided to go with!!!! wait for it.... and LS2 conversion!!! ;)

haha haters gonna hate

TOTALLY joking!! im lazy cbf with f**king round with that. im replacing the sr with another sr :) so going in is my built sr motor with my twin plate os giken clutch and my gt3071R (bought this turbo before motor) with dirty filthy external gate. hoping it will make 400rwhp but i reckon this turbo will run outta puff. will wind some boost out of it and run around on 350rwhp should be more than enough for some dori at barbs.

i also bought a complete s13 rolling shell so thats goign to become parts bitch to get the cef relicenced. but thats a good 4 months away as im still under suspension till febuary :blink:

well thats all from me

love filthy orange cefiro owner

Keith xoxo

hey Keith!!!

sorry i didn't get that cruise map to you ages ago - that was a total balls up - i didn't organise map until about one house prior to cruise and my PM box was full for ages! sorry bout that man..

as for your cceffy - good to hear you've taken a less difficult route about it..

you REALLY should change the colour though while you're waiting this four months.. :P

Yea I will be changing. Thinking like a dark grey.

Only thing is the car already has 5 layers of paint on it (original grey, yellow, a black base coat, the weird camo job, and the orange) and being only a third year apprentice I really can't afford to sodablast and paint so thinking

Bout sanding it back as much as I can and sprayin over the top but I have no Idea when it comes to this stuff and I'm On a budget so would spraying it myself. I'm also sick of my wonder rear bar Looks ugly as f**k from behind.

I really really want an autech kit they look awesome!!

I also need new tailights and pull my nice new dent outta my rear quarter panel as a result from a love tap.

It's all go!

But in reality it's not really. I'm broke and the car owes me 20 grand :(

Super keen for ceffy cruise tho!!!!

Rowan what happened with your cef I understand you've got your soarer so what's with the cef selling keeping? Rebuild? Or another cef that will sit in a garage with no love?

yeah nah sold my cefrio - as much as i loved it it was just too much hurt.. to drive as a day to day commuter it was just too much hassle so it was sold to an arab.

(rip)

in further news, my soarer:

has cruise control

electric slide + tilt sunroof

digital climate control

fresh leather seats

power windows that dont fk up

electric seats

bodykit

rims

suspension

VVTi

loooooooooove. so wrapped with it!

so bloody fast as well =|

stewart if you still troll this thread i saw your car a few weeks back in the inglewood area

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
