WoOt!

I have a ceffy parked in my driveway!

It is, infact Meggala's sr20 powered ceffy.

I love it.

Please say gday to me at track/cruise/circuit days and help me out with my drift techniques :D

I'm just looking a putting a few personalised touches on the car and should be in full swing weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

If anyone is interested the one I was originally going to buy Meggala still has - and boy at stock boost gooodddd dammnn its driftable...but thats a different kettle of fish!

anyone else here have a sr20 powered ceff?

Thanks alot guys. Steve reaklly did build a heck of a nice car.

I hope he won't mind me changing the character of it a little - I will be aiming to make it street/drift car. ie. car with a stereo and some nice looks that with some smaller wheels, the subs taken out etc can be drifted/circuit assault a track.

Obviously it won't be as good a drifter if I made it just that, nor will it be the cleanest street car if I just went that way either - but hopefully I'll be able to walk that fine line between the two ok.

It's actually not making a HEAP of power anymore - it's been set to .8-1bar of boost. This is plenty for now for me... I've already lost it trying to induce powerslide without enough throttle control - ended up 180'ing the 'corner' (i.e. obstacles) - this was on private skidpan.

My point is it was easy enough to do. So I think I will just keep it as is for now.

I'm having a few problems switching cogs at the moment which is what i'd really like to perfect..

Usually by taking 2nd out to put into 3rd = 2nd comes out spinning too hard and 3rd just grinds... same happens when punting into 2nd or into 4th.

This means any 1/4 mile assault is out for now :

Any suggestions would be good.. - oh shifting lower (alot lower) and double clutching result in sweet changes.. Unfortunately at the loss of some speed.

I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to just whack em in like the rb boxes or could it be the gearbox needs new teeth? (we've all seen meggala's vids :D)

yeah they should be V mounting their bloody coolers!!

no one has caught on it yet...

less piping = less lag

plus at least then u can put on a carbon/glass or just vented bonnet and hacve a real reason unlike 90% of the wankers out there with one :D

Inark........could you possibly draw a pic of the V mounting positions? I have an SR20 ceffy also and would like to explore this "less lag" idea.

Nico, have a read of this... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=51234

But is the sr20 in the orange one? Or is the another one???

If I had cash to splash i would V mount for BLING factor... I'm not sure if it would less lag<< does it really make it that much different?

Anyway.. I took the day off work and spent ALL day to take my door trims out and put sound deadening in.

It doesn't quite look like http://www.fastfoursforumscarclub.com/temp...interest_62.jpg but uhhhh.. it's my first time.

I will post pics of my install efforts along the way - although I'm too tired right now (will post tomorz).

I'm fitting 6.5" splits in the front and I've come to the conclusion ceffies are great for installs.

I took out the standard speaker mounting bracket and just cut out a peice of mdf to sit on top of the door. I will then purchase a spacer so it may sit properly.

I have the dimensions of the cutout if anyone would like to install their own speakers in the front of the ceffy. It would be pretty easy but for the fellow ceffy community I can-

1. give you the dimensions (will measure upon request.. otherwise cbf)

2. cut you out a peice and send it to you (you just drill on the marked spots.. or if my mate wants to drill em they will be pre-drilled) (you pay postage and whatever the mdf cost.. i think like $2-4)

3. forgot option three but i thought there was one..

Also if anyone is doin an install lemme know I'd like to swap tekneeKS :mad:

Pics of mine:

Mate lovely.. there is SOOO much room in the engine bay it's almost strange isn't it?

Plenty of room for a CAI induction setup and an oil cooler!

Have you gotten your tacho giving you the correct rpm? I'd like to know the resistor to fit and where to fit it if it's possible?

its going to be in an up comming HPI isnt it?

Ask meggala I think it's drift battle mag.

the further air has to travel the longer it will take... the less piping the less u lag u should get (im guessing) and also i would have to assume having less distance to travel it would be less likely to heat up in the enginebay

      V37 Suspension change

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
