It's just a rough shitter tbh , the vin had been swapped from another ceff (in japan , they didn't try to hide it too much :rolleyes: ) , the whole chassis is stitch welded but some of it was useless and waaaay over board , big runs in the paint all round , filler was cracking off the flares and lots of stuff was missing or broken , it is easier to bring the white shell upto scratch (that thing has had a hard hit on the rh front which requires a front chassis rail and sqaring back up on the appropriate machine) , it's costing me 1k to get done but that will make it a much better shell than the blue one , and registerable .

I'm not sure what i'm doing with bodykits , i now have uras , fk and the stuff off the blue one so something will be for sale once i make up my mind what's going where i'll let you know if i'm selling them :) . i will be selling lots of ceff parts as soon as both a31 are alive again too :)

Sorry that was a poor attempt at humour, I meant the tyres the shell is resting on... ;)

Cool man,

I need a bunch of parts for my car, If your keen on selling some stuff let me know.

Shame about the car, I remember reading all the stories about the VIN number and import approval's etc years back.

Im super keen on the Diana rear bar and side skirts. Please sell them to me!!! :worship:

yeah i saw first hand the vin had been chopped out and another put in , i will be selling the left overs once i have both my other ones up n running

:( that blue cef was amazing. no doubt had its flaws but i was sooo close to buying it back in the day.

was in the pics, very rough in person , can make a better one out of the left overs quite easily

    • 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.
