Hey all

know anyone who's selling there ceffy that's had a fair bit of work done? My mAte really wants one and plans on drifting it asWell.

Want something with a few modifactions and is somewhat tidy

MUST be rego'ed

cheers Keith

Why do I get the feeling you wrote yours off or something... ?

Tidy

Registered

Modified

Good luck.

Speak to Banger...he always has atleast one for sale....he did have THREE for sale at one point in time.

And if your mate wants to be a fully sikh drifter why can't he build one / do mods himself ? Drifting isnt a community for noobs.

yeah such a product does not exist in perth. Mine sorta fits your criteria but there's no way im selling it to your mate.

Kristian from ironchef has an rb25det cefiro ready to drift 88 mnp coloured one for sale 10,500 get in touch with him.

Haha na my ceff still in one piece engineless at my workshop tho. Currently deciding what engine to put back in.

Rowan me and my friend have allready come and looked at yours if you remember. And not inflate your ego it was a bit tidy and it would be a crime to track a car that straight.

Rather buy one allready half done as to save cost.

I kinda take offence being called a noob. I'm asking who's selling what not what is a cefiro :S

anyways thanks Rowan for information will look it up

Already looked at bangers for sale asking too much for what it is.

Isnt Banger's only 11k?

Perth:

Track only/B Class Rego Cefiro, $3000 - $5000

Cefiro registered, or registerable, $5000 - $10'000 (stock standard or minimal modifications)

High Performance Cefiro (ie RB25DET + Basics) $10'000 - $17'000 (even over Eastern States)

Borneo's old Cefiro, $30'000

^^^^

As much as I don't like Nick, based on the small number of experiences I've had with him, I would call his prices on both parts, and cars "average/competitive".

Not really.....Borneo's old Cefiro sold with such a high price tag, purely for title.

Buy a Cefiro, 10k

strip it out, $free, make cash back on parts

Build RB30DET, $5-7k ?

Other mods, suspension, brakes, etc, $10k?

That's still not a straight chassis, half the panels weren't straight.

It's registerable, but barely, the amount of cash you'd have to poor in, and parts you'd have to pull out.....you'd be far better off just buying a shitter and building it up yourself.

dry sump set-up isn't cheap, nor is quality coilovers, diff, quality turbo set-up, intake & exhaust manifolds, injectors etc etc. 5-7k would hardly cover the short motor in trewhellas RB.

But i can't imagine the shell would have been in very good condition.

A cefiro for 10k gets you coilovers on the rag, a sloppy 2 way, china camber arms,toe arms etc half arsed manual conversion... etc etc etc etc............

Cefiro's simply are not a loved car, for every person that loves theirs', there is 20 people that hammer theirs.

I looked at a cefiro a few months ago that looked absolutely mint, with a poultry price tag to boot... thankfully i have some idea what to look for, turned out the it had some form of front end smash and had the rail jammed into the firewall.. pretty sure this car is back on ebay but being sold by a different owner, and with the price twice what was previously being asked.

Goodluck buddy, you'll need it!

Half of that was paid for by sponsors.....Borneo of all people actuall ran K-Sport coilovers. Alot of other shit, like intake, exhaust, etc was done by the man himself. You can put a price on that, but I'd say well over $100'000 was thrown at that car over the years. Start from scratch, and build to purpose. A Cefiro with a basic RB30DET with mods can be had for WELL under the price tag on Borneo's 700+ HP Cefiro, and there is no way Keith's mate is going to NEED that kind of power setup on a street registered car.

Is the Cefiro you mention the one on eBay right now ? gunmetal gray, Uras kit, Black Drifteks....?

Edited by Nic_A31

Yes it was well over done, given that it was one of the most expensive cars in the DA field and very rarely placed well.

Yep the one on ebay now. could be wrong, but its same colour, has teins, Uras kit etc etc etc just as it did when it was previously for sale.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
