thought Id add my sh*t heap, got it for jack, and spent about 3 months fixing and replacing everything just to get a roady, hardly anything worked on it, but everything does now

so it did have a torque monster RB20de/auto, up until today, to be replaced by a 20det + 5spd,

so here it is

lol currently i have no power steering, trying to source the high pressure non hicas power steer lines but no one seems to have any, my little tiny missus has arms like hercules now. Alot easier with 205 on the front rather than 235 previously.

Logan aint to far. Im just off johnson road.

leather seats? :down:

I wish I could have grabbed them, they were there but that car was in New Zealand, I just brought back the door trims and a big box of spare parts

Just to add since I'm from NZ cefiros/laurels are so common that they are worth nothing, 70% of the laurels are diesels, wreckers get them take some parts off them then crush the rest! :ermm:

the series 3 cefiro I got the door trims off of was a mint running 1993 2.5 SE, the wrecker paid $250 for it! it failed a roady for a leaking P/S pump and the owner just wanted it gone

that sort of shit happens day to day there since 50% of the cars there are imports never thought about it until I moved here and im now cringing,

If you end up getting rid of that auto centre console to go manual and have the surround (top bit), let me know. I might even have a manual centre console + armrest you can have in exchange.

I do, I have 2 auto gear stick surrounds (which will only fit series 2 and 3) and I was going to modify a R32 console I have, but if you have the factory stuff that will fit mine, deals on!

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
