so now that the 15 year rule law is a thing of the past.. how do you guys forsee the value of Cefiros? I know a few one these board are going for sale.. how does it affect value? steady? sell now or sell in 6 months?

why this thread? well coz Ceffys arent as common as any of the other 15 yr cars (FC, S13, etc, etc).

:rofl:

i have been wondering the same thing. I cant see the price going up much. But i am starting to think holding onto the ceff may be a reasonable idea because i cant see them going down in value for 12 months.

Well the people who have already put money down on theirs can still get them in, so Id take a guess that theres still a fair few coming over (in terms of Cefs, so in comparison to normal cars not that many). But yeah, if people stop selling them so cheap (same with R32 GTRs) the prices should stay steady, and in 12months or so we should be able to get the prices back where they should be, as people might have forgotton that they could have got one for $8k.

If that makes sence.

um ceffies were made in 1988... NO VALUE INCREASE FOR YOU! TO THE BACK OF THE LINE! :whip:

I wouldnt be bringing over a 17yo car tho... Much less something thats older. As my car is over here, people can see a bit of a proper service history, know where stuff is done better etc.

so who wants a laurel :rofl:

got one coming soon . yes the first commened construction in 89

I think the prices will rise cause there is only 3 months worth of production in 89 I was looking for 88 model cefs 2 years ago and even then they were hard to find imagine now. at worse it will be stable.

supply and demand... restricted supply (I mean you find maybe 1 88 ceffy wirth importing a month) and increased demand (more monkey's jumping on the Drift bandwagon wanting l33tzor ceffies for driter posing) means more bling in the near future.

which is why the price should rise... they wont be able to get them imported so will have to pay what people offer. If everyone offers a reasonable price they have no choice...

altho ceffie if u still wanna get rid of ur cef for 12500 with all those nice mods... hold it til my soarers sold :(

saw a couple of ads from the trading post back in november 2004, the prices were between $12k to $15 from memory..... they were something like 88/89 models.

now since no more 15 year old import, im pretty sure that the value will go up, provided there is a demand.

was reading a little column in one of the drift mag or zoom mag, they were saying something like "that the price of ceffie has gone up, cos every bastard wants one........." wonder what the value will be for a ealy 90's ceffie say in 6 - 12 months time :P

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
