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.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Stagea identification?

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
