Anyone out there know the trick to removing the centre console on a Cefiro to install a new Head Unit?? I cant seem to locate any clips/screws ect for the unit that surrounds the gearstick. (it appears that this is the first peice which will allow access to mounting screws for the rest)

Take the gear knob off and gently pull the gearboot surround upwards until it unclips......that will reveal 2 screws. After removeing those 2 screws.simply pull on the stereo surround. It will unclip.

so it's pretty similar to a skyline in that regards?

all sorted. got to love the jap cars build quality, taking apart, and reassembling the cefiro was not too bad (compared to other cars I have done) all i had to do was reverse the removal order to make everything fit back together perfectly.

the real bitch with the cefiro was the parcel shelf, ended up having to take the entire back seats out to get the shelf off. stupid air cleaner thingy was in the way.

will post up some pics of the work in a bit

thanks for the assistance!~

hey kursed. What did u replace the POS front 4x6's with?.. Im getting to much sound from the back and cant even it out atm.

Im running pioneer 6x9's at the back on a parcel shelf as the back tray is metal.

With a 12inch sub of a schnieder amp.

BTW I had to pull the damn back seats out too. Took me like 30 minutes to find a way through. See pic below where i did mines.

I wanted to put 6 inchers up front to get more volume out of them. I bought fusion 6 inch with tweeters, then I screw mounted the tweeters on the side mirror panels (which pop out with 2 screws removed) and fabricated a quick MDF panel for each of the 6 inchers to replace the crapola 4x6's. You can just remove the whole frame the 4x6's are in, and then use the 4 screw holes as the mounting points for the mdf panels.

sounds about 10,000 times better now.

I didn't take any pics of the panels installed but you can see them on the ground in my photos.

finding those two bolts hidden in the bottom of the pull down middle seat was the biggest stumper ay!!! that took us a while.... :cheers:

did you install your sub in the middle there? did you face it into the body or away?

i found the sub worked best facing the spare wheel arch oddly enough. so its sideways when you open the boot!! hehehe

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
