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!

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
