i think all Ceffy owners in Australia should gang up and help keep the prices of Cefiros steady. I see ppl offering to buy nice Cefiros for 7-8k thinking coz thats what it costs in Japan.. they dont take into account the price of compliance, rego etc.. like inark and schnaped_seconds FS thread on nissansilvia.com.. all these ppl think Cefiros are worth less than bloody 180s or sumthin, we have 2 extra doors ffs :rofl:

/rant

cliff notes - if u wanna sell, keep the price high :thankyou:

Two extra doors, two extra cyls, and a HELL of a lot better loooking car!

I saw one up for sale the other day for $17k, not as many mods as mine, pretty tidy tho. I think that is probably more realistic.

stock ceffies dont look good.

nor do stock 180's.

last i checked 'mainstream' ads for ceffies ie. autotrader or something autostyle was selling a ceff for $20k..<<< wasn't worth it imo but yeah - grossly overpriced so i guess they must hope someone will buy it.

Insider tip... changes are being lined up to make sure 1990 cars are no longer as easy to import. Source... high ranking official from DOTARS.

Should mean the cost of a ceffy should stay steady.

i know this has already been touched on a fair bit but I recon its shvit that they are going to change the 15 year rule. So many nice cars out there and thats how I bought my cefiro and I also bought in a tt300zx before this. Now if they clamp down on imports you will get bog stock car and will have to start from scratch to build up. I dont really care if I loose maybe a few grand on a car, if any money at all. There is no way we will be able to bring in our own cars at this stage and if you can then it will be stock as a rock, complianceing cost will soar etc etc. show me a good side to the argument as I cant see any really.

Wellll what it means is performace parts suppliers might actually be able to make some money. Sure its all over protected, and I think its to stop stupid stuff coming over. My thoughts anyway.

Yeah thats what I recon. makes me super frustrated, always comes back to money I recon. Money talks and bulsht walks. I almost guarentee that I will never buy a commodore/falcon at least not for an extended period anyhow. If its dodgy dealers they are worried about then they only have themselves to blame for not regulating it properly, its also the luck of the draw but if you have a regulatory body in japan to watch it then there shouldnt be a problem. I just hope when I get my next car I can bring something that I want in rather being dictated to me as to what I can and cannot bring in.

Anyhow I am hoping the 15 year rule stays alive and we get the toyota aristo under raws thats the dream car anyhow.

not necassarilly a "good" side as such, but food for thought,

it's put in place to protect local industry, ie: steer people towards buying locally owned / made product, without it it's a section of economy our country would miss out on with local industry being supported, however the import market is just that. an IMPORT MARKET, it's a market of people that choose to go towards the imported cars,

The government believes that by making it more difficult to import cars from japan will help solve the gaps which are left in our shoddy economy, however the mport of cars only makes for a small percentage of the australian dollar and doens't effect it that much realistically

like most things in this country, it's a backhanded - deal from the government to large corporations to protect each other.

capa-town.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
