what kind of a kit are they making...hope it's nothing too over the top...if it's something subtle and around the price of his s13/s14/s15 kits then im in for sure :)

Omega bodykits will be producing a custom kit for Cef's shortly. They are using my car as a template. The kit promises to be quite nice

The kit will be about the $1200 mark for front bar, rear bar and skirts... and unlike other oz kit producers, it will fit properly and will be well finished. I have seen their kits and you need to do virtually no preparation to them before spraying.

he kit isn't too over the top though. The skirts are the nicest i have seen for a cefiro by a long way

I reckon that kit looks great - ideally the rear spoiler would be smaller (kinda like the "drift" wings on some silvias).

As for the omega kits i'm waiting till they hit production. too_much had my rear bar which they copied but they will be modifying it to make look "better". By the sounds of what too_much described it will look the goods. It will also comfortably fit aussie number plates.

It's all subjective but I'll be happy to pickup a new set from them as my rear bar is cracking and my side skirts are almost non-existant. I will however be keeping my front bar as I love that thing (even though everyone says its over the top haha)

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to divulge what the side skirts will be so I'll let too_much say as he's closer to the process than I. One thing I can tell you though from the descriptions he's given me it will be a great fit to the rest of the kit they're doing and my car.

As for pics- not yet cos the kit aint in production.

Lastly I will mention the bloke who owns/runs omega bodykits seems like a genuinely nice guy. As too_much has said the quality will be up there and judging by a few pics of kits they've done for silvias it looks great. (As I understand it the guy running omega was a business partner in fast action fibre and the other partner retired or split or something so now it's a new business called omega).

The only complaint I have is there's some crazy bog on my rear bar now which doesn't look as good but I'm happy because it's stronger where there used to be cracks!! :)

Either way. Resin - get the kit (not sure if I like the spoiler so if it was me I'd leave it off or I'd get the spoiler made or customised so it's like the one in the photo but only about 3cm (tiny))... So get the kit!! Noone in Aus has it and it looks great. Would look good with the wheels you got and in black.. Make sure your chrome is shining though!

nice VIP style kit. I wouldn't get it personally, and it dosen't suit a fast car... if you put it on you have to be prepared to make it a VIP car. Although I've always been a fan of door skins that make the doors a straight drop all the way down to the side skirts

I think with some kits the wing would be good, sorta would make the rest of the kit complete.

But as funkymonkey (lol, every time I read that I think beasty boys!) anyway! as he was saying big kits dont suit the fast car look, I think that hits it right on the head. I dont mind the front bar, but I think the hole need to be a bit bigger just to take the edge off it.

i aint the one getting the vip kit ....but anyway yea ...get the kit ..because like everyone else says it will be different and thats GOOD! ........thats the reason why we have cefiros instead of the usual skylines or silvias ......i still dont like it but thats mainly because of the spoiler ....thing ......rest of it looks pretty good!

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
