Hello all!

This is the first time I have purchased one of these 'luxury' style cars and was wondering if any of you Japan gurus :rant: knew the specifications?

It is a VG30DE (T) I believe? also it has airbag suspension :)

Thats about it?

Any specification you guys have?

Thanks in advance, Gary.

Sorry but why would you want to buy a Y31 Cedric Cima? This could be the reason no one has answered, or could be no one knows the specs.

Well they came with VG30DE and DET with 200ps/26.5kgm and 255ps/35.5kgm respectively...only in 4AT and weight about 1550kgs. If you haven't noticed they are called Cedric Cima or Gloria Cima, but yours seems to look like a Cedric Cima from the chrome on the bonnet. Basically cosmetic and interior differences really, this particular model externally they are identical while internally they had different trims and steering wheel. Traditionally the Gloria is the more upmarket between the two as you can see there is a M45 Infiniti in the states which is basically a Gloria running a VK45DE.

That's about all I know about them, Justin, Dave may know more.

Because in my opinion they are nice cars, sure I could VIP style it if I wanted to :D

But all the money goes to the GT-R, I want something 'different' to drive in the meantime, hence the Cima.

Plus the car has a few parts in it for an RB26 :)

Which are padlocked and insured, can't trust the wharfies.

Nah... good on you Gary! Go the different route.

I kinda agree with Troy though, there isn't much to say about the Cedric/Glorias. I did take a pic of one in the Photo Diary which had HUUUUUGE wheels and looked awesome, but theres little else going for them.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
