Tom's A31 Cefiro From Nz

[Ronald McDonald]

Hi guys, new here so I thought I'd post up a thread of my Ceff I just bought. After a year of owning my S14 I decided it was time for a new car, something that's a little more practical. So after a few months of deliberation I decided to go with another RWD Nissan, they are damn reliable and there were a number of different cars in my price range. I originally wanted an R32 4 door GTST, but none in decent condition were for sale. C33 Laurel was next, but most were converted to 25det drift monsters, and a good $7k out of my price range. Then a really clean A31 Cefiro came up for sale (most are absolutely hacked up in NZ). I test drove it, inspected it and couldn't find anything wrong and so I bought it! Got it for a steal as well, only $2900.

This is the very last of the last A31's Nissan produced as they introduced the A32 in the same year. It's the 2.5SE facelift model which houses an RB25de (fairly rare for this car), has a sunroof and clocked up a genuine 109,000kms. It comes with a bunch of random JDM features, like automatic headlights, steering wheel controls, electric drivers seat and a few more. The previous owner has already done some mods on it like lower it, pretty damn low for springs haha.

Current mods:

- Lowered on S13 Tein suspension

- OZ 16" wheels

- Old sound system, speakers may be factory :L

Future plans:

- Manual conversion 20det gearbox (will be done first)

- R32 Handbrake conversion

- R32 manual pedals

- C33 Laurel/ A31 Cef manual cluster (difficult to source)

- C33 Laurel/ A31 Cef Manual center console

- Steering Wheel swap to OEM S14 non airbag

- Straight through exhaust (unsure on sizing yet)

- Remove towbar

- New sound system

- New wheels (17s/18s)

- Zenki "flat" grill

- R200 LSD diff

- Paint fix/touch ups

Night I picked it up

Still haven't cleaned it haha but here are some photos from today.

Pimpin' it

Came with the original manual and Japanese papers etc

I don't read Japanese but I think its implying you shouldn't go off road? haha

This one is questionable to..

Very tidy, nice to see a late model.

With the manual cluster, don't bother, I'm not sure why everyone makes such a fuss over finding a 'manual one', the only difference is the POWER/HOLD/OD-OFF lights and the column down the middle for PRND21, in the manual models that strip is painted the same black as the face, so just pop that out, spray paint the whole bezel including that part, and cover up any auto lights and pop it all back in, anyone that looks will be non the wiser.

Looks very well looked after, try to keep it that way
