ok maybe i'm getting old , or maybe a touch bored of drifting so i'm looking to do something more with my ceff than just set it up to slide. This got me thinking , i don't think i've ever seen a cefiro set up for track/grip use ..... has anyone else? , i kinda want to know if it's worth it :whistling: ... and how many of you guys have weighed your ceff? i'm curious how light they can be made too :(

edit: and what are your suggestions for driveline too , should i be looking into a dirty sr? , i'm thinking targa or improved production?

i thought grip was ment to be the 'boring' of the two, but i have seen the pink ADD cefiro doing some tarmac rally and gymkana on tv awhile ago.

edit: the correct term is a truck SR :P

My R34 sedan with the SR20 in it was the best handling car i have driven, way better then my RB25 4 door i have now, and a friend had a Ceffie a few years ago with an SR20 and it also was awesome, better then most S13's.

There is no reason why they would not be good on the track, good chassis, good suspension design and still pretty light weight.

If you plan on doing improved production or Targa type events im pretty sure you need the stock engine, so would need to be RB20, even just speed events and 1/2 dy events like duttons will be fun, and any mods are allowed, just changes the class you go in.

yep , you can change engines in ip but it must be from the same manufacturer and same amount of cylenders , i just read through the cams manual thingy , it seems rb20 would be the way to go for ip :

haha , i got mixed up with targa stuff i was reading at the time , thinking it had to come out in the car (cefiro came out rb20e/de/det and rb25de in s2, for targa you can't put a turbo on it if it didn't have one basically put)

Im in the middle of a Cefiro build. Its a full on track car. I am trying to get it under 2500lbs but this is going to be a little difficult. Going to have to chop out the doors, trunk, trash the glass and build some lexan windows along with some lightweight aftermarket parts. Crossing my fingers!!! I've done a full cage for the drifting series we have here in canada and went with 1.50 0.095 but I am opening up to grip racing as well and need it under 2500lbs to compete in the SCCA.

Its fully built RB26 with the GTSS turbo kit, d-jetro, OS 1-3 gears, GTR subframe, painless race harness (Only using the factory engine harness which is modified) NO other factory wiring at all! Got 33 brembos with full suspension.

Id love to try these out too to help my geo:

I should be around the 400-450WHP so it should be a pretty competitive car once set up. Hopefully running here in the next 2-3 months intime for a quick practice. Going to take this yrs season to race in several series and some hill climb time attack. Try and build a portfolio before next year to try and get a little support for gas and tires, but we will see how she goes and go from there.

here's the car:

in pieces right now. Engine is half built, car is half built. Got everything to get it done, just need to bust ass!

Im in the same boat, have been drifting for years and want to try grip.

Mine is sr with skyline box and just about evrything else. It was my daily and handled awesome through the twisties so im expecting it to be quite a competent grip car.

My last sr ceffy track car which I sold last year was striped bare with sr and full cage and at the local weigh bridge came up as 1120kg with less than 1/4 tank of fuel.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
