lol u serious? i was looking a that a week or so ago trying to convince my gf to learn to drive manual :) nice work mate and at that price its a bloody bargain, specially with the mods!!!

finally got mine registered on saturday... car feels very light... :) (i'm used to the weight of 33 gtr... hehe) only annoying thing atm is that the driver side sun visor has no clip and it keeps on banging my head... :)

plus, stock exhaust looks like a set of chopstick... hehe

couldn't be happier with the car...

I got the cefiro on the weekend finally! first thing I did after my 2 hour rego (bloody rta poindexters) I forked out for some audio gear and spent the weekend ripping apart teh interior and putting it all in.

very happy with the cef, it drives beautifully and cleaned up very well.... after 5 hours of labour.... man there was a lot of crap in the door jambs...

result: I found a couple of yen coins, a flare that quickly got burnt and lots and lots of old audio cables... attached to nothing but left in the dash and under seats.

the cef feels very light (great power steering) and has a very comfortable interior... I am surprised in all I have read online about cefs that no one really mentioned how cruisey these cars are inside, I have a blackish interior but it seems to be tinted with red from sun rays over time... odd. I didn't realise from the dealers pics that the white paint has a pearl effect through it? does everyone else with white cefs have that? I couldn't tell if it was post purchase paint...

i was gonna but a bid on that car hehehe. you beat me to it god damn it. hahaha that car is mint though congrats on your buy.

how much did it cost to comply? if you dont mind me asking

u talking to me? anyways, if you are, it cost me $2376 to comply + blueslip... there were some extra stuff needed for the car.. the car was missing a cat, the front suspension was cut in half, aircon wasn't degassed, hks filter needed a new element.. etc.. i would say if it wasn't for these little things, the cost would've been alot cheaper..

mine has pearl over white but mine was a respray job... don't know if that colour was available on factory white...

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
