I've started talking to a new company in NSW that will be releasing their own kits for a range of cars & saw it as a good opportunity to try get a bit more variety in Aus, rather than the usual Uras copy for Ceffies. Obviously they're not going to buy a few genuine kits and create molds if there isn't enough interest. So.... what kits would Cefiro owners like to see copied & made available in Aus?

Poll is multiple choice. If you want another kit added let me know, I'll chuck it in.

i have an idea.

copy the original SERIES 3 front bumper. remove the "lower grill" bits. like... you know... the "teeth" of it if you will..

then just get the fibre glasser to mock up a Club-S front (style) front lip.

cefiros have an old body shape - they look best with STOCK bodies.. the cefiro post-jdm. they dont need big swoopy huge body kits anymore. they get enough "kudos" on the road without NEEDING gaudy kits like final konnexion / BN sports

just re-make the original.. customise it so that it looks a bit more bad ass... fabricate a lip onto it to get some lowness happening. and voila!!!

i know that this is a soarer... but this guy has taken the series 3 soarer OEM bumper, and stuck a type 1 lip onto it. and i reckon it looks awesome

Autech kit in polyurethane rather than shitty fibreglass.

All the euro shops in UK/USA do polyurethane for the same price as we buy fibreglass knockoffs at for beemers and audi's. All comes out of china too.

Looks like the front bumper may be getting changed...

That's why I was asking, I've been seeing that same kit advertised with a blurred out front bar for the last 4 years or so on yahoo auctions.

I'm yet to find out if this company will make/copy kits for Cefiros at all, so far the conversation has just been floating the idea, sending them images of kits available in Japan. I'm meeting them Sunday to speak about it more. Please take all of this with a grain of salt - I don't want to build false hope.

Thoughts on an Autech kit with a second hole on the other side of the front bar?

Keen on symmetrical Autech kit.

Autech S2 / S3 ?

S2/S3?

S1? (middle section chopped out)

S2 front with lip?

S1 rear

S2 rear?

What's S3? Or have I just got it wrong and there's only Autech S2/S3?

I'd even consider getting this one (Japanese words) TBO if the bottom centre section lined up with the lower flared section in the centre - it'd be similar to a symmetrical Autech bar with the lip molded in (albeit a more pronounced lip)

Never seen a Series 3 Autech

Series 2 front bar = here (althought that is a fibreglass front bar from Japan, so I'm not sure if S2 is actually symmetrical or not from Autech factory)

http://www.skylinesa...-north-america/

Autech S2 has a lip built in

You can buy a lip/flare for S1 Autech (in the Cool Shit thread I started in this section)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
