my baby's almost out of compliance, after 7 months of looking at it in my garage, i finally decided to get it complied...

it comes out next week and i need to get a front bar...i dont really car what it looks like, as long as its a complete bar (dont need the support behind it) it's just nasty right now...so if anyones got any front bar for a cef you want to get rid of cheaply, let me know

parts with (new) next to it were added by me after the car came into the country.

Hey love your car man looks tough. Wow that's probably how much my car has cost me just to keep running with replacement parts and fixing ... to think I could have had a decent car with so much more power :P

Hope you get to keep it though :)

if i knew it was going to be this much i should have just kept the 180 or even better, buy an s15...such is the "joy" of owning something different...

a lesson for the kids...listen to your parents when they tell you to get a newer car ;)

Based on that list you put up, most of the additions weren't necessary. Looks like they were things you 'wanted' rather than 'needed'

Can't blame the car for that

:zzz: Ass.

Are you saying that those things listed are a necessity? Not many of them are.

Chances are Sky80 would have spent a similar amount doing the same mods no matter what the car was.

Anyway, it isn't an argument, just an observation

Was just a bit suprised you'd say that with all your interior bling ;)

Nah seriously though I was actually thinking about this the other day and thought the reality is we don't even NEED our cars.. Why not just drive a prius? So I was trying to make the point need/want balance is subjective...

I *need* my cefiro.. I *want* a rb30.

Some kid in Africa wants a plastic bucket but needs a big leaf (to scoop water with).. i dono it's all perspective.

it's true most werent "needed", i began buying parts for it before it even came in the country, i could very well drive it w/o most of that stuff...but i thought about it and the conclusion was that, im not gonig to be playing with cars for much longer...getting a bit old, plus, i've had way too many imports (nissans only)...and it's a four door, so there's nothing to stop me getting married and having kids in it :P

but as luck will have it, im possibly trading the ceff for a laurel + $$ but wont know for sure until i see it in person...but the pitures look promising....plus i need the money, seeing as i aint gots no job anymore...

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
