JaysCefy

Hello all.  I'm a US military member stationed in Japan and have just bought a 92 Cefy.  I haven't actually taken possession of it yet, but it's on it's way (shipping to Okinawa from mainland).  The car is RB20DET, factory 5 speed so wherever I go next it can come with me. Even to the US with it's absolutely ridiculous import laws.  While in Japan my plan is mostly minor stuff, but once she gets back to the States with me (whenever that may be) I plan to put my RB25DET and trans in.  Looking forward to learning a lot here and will be relying on you guys since the US never got the Cefy.

No pictures yet because I didn't think to save any from the dealer where I bought it.  At least on Okinawa and among US folks, Cefy's are pretty rare. I've only seen one in person. Countless Skylines of all types, JZXs, RX-7s and Supras.  Not that many C33s or A31s at all.  And I imagine even fewer in the US.

The price depends on several things. Mine was a good deal, $4300 US shipped from mainland, the body looks to be in really good condition and interior looks more or less brand new (Japanese tend to take really good care of their cars) but it has about 204000 km on it, which is fairly high for Japan. My 91 RX-7 that died on me only had 105k when it let go.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
