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.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
