whatdamn: all the best in your search, remember that you always have a choice...so if there is something ur not satisfied with then dont hesitate...take your time and find the right one tht ur happy wth.

also, if you happen to come across a good condtn cbu unit...GRAB IT!!!
cbu models are hard to come by, but if u do come across one..check that all documentation matches up and tht u get the original AP. I bought mine but the AP is missing...

cheers! :D

I think i know which showroom was this, i went there once long-long time ago..there this black an maroon a31 there. One is wif a Penang plate rite..?

er... i dont remember any Penang reg. number. I was there around Sept 2003, the time i bought my ceffy from them.

that time still able to get loan 90% max with 8% interest from AM Finance. Now not very sure but usually car dealer got underground jalan one. better to let car dealer apply loan for you, faster and easily approve with sufficient document.

ah... ;) good topic to share here....

i was told to be very careful with cbu cars. The very first thing to check is the chassis reg. number engrave on firewall and wheel house.

Local models: chassis number is on driver side wheel house HAxxx-xxxxx To make sure it is original, visit any of your friend driving new nissan car(any model). Nissan use the same size alphabet and number. Get a white paper and 2B pencil. Duplicate a copy like how we did it in kindergarten skool duplicating texture of tree or cement floor. Bring it along when you are going to visit any show room. Firstly check alphabet and numbering must be in straight line. Second touch the numbering surface whether even or wavey, could be self engrave by car dealer (stolen car / sabung DUA). Third take out the duplicate number u did above, check the size spacing and whatsoever. Anything suspicious, do 100% check like Singapore Custom.

CBU models: some do not have chassis number on wheel house. Only the plate which bolted on firewall.

Any correction or input will be great, cos im planning to change car in future, this is one of the important thing to do homework as we are in MALAYSIA! apa apa pun BOLEH :D

''vel..vel..''....''vel...vel..'' hahahahaaa....

hello...

yup beware of CBU units..all have been mentioned by a31gtst ad gwsallen...


cheers..

 

[a31gtst]

gwsallen:

yes good point. i had the unfortunate luck of getting mine wth the identification plate on firewall missing! the wheel arch numbering is fine but it doesnt make sense to me why the plate shud be removed...if u do a transplant or a re-spray there is no need to remove the plate. sigh.

anyhow, yes it is always best to take a little more precaution when ur going to invest tht much money...check all matches up as gwsallen mentioned and u can also check the engine no on the block as well as any background checks on insurance claims etc.

cheers.

pogo,

S14 knuckle is not plug and play into cefiro... got to modify the balljoint there... else cannot go in!

 

[gwsallen]

guys and gurus, how much are they selling half-cut RB20DET on cefiro or skyline? i get to know that skyline cut is cheaper, due to demand for cefiro are higher.

i would like to find cefiro half cut as i need a better looking dashboard. my current dashboard very 'chan'.

what about HP / power differences between these two? beside power, what other thing different?

let's start this topic so 'whatdamn' will start dripping saliva more, more , more ..... :D

 

[CT_]

I check with one chop chop shop. selling skyline r32 gts with bodykit is about rm3500. :o i think rather expensive
wat u guys think?

 

[Lazy6]

Standard R32 1/2 cut around RM2200 on average.

 

[whatdamn]

haha bugger...my saliva won't drip la. now have to open my options already to other cars as i need to get a car hopefully before CNY...doubt it's possible. so 3 choices now are

1. honda eg4/6/9 (m) (whichever comes first, $$$ talks)
2. toyota corolla SEG 1.6 (m) (small boot)
3. cefiro a31

:( sadness. every used car dealer has surplus of proton cars man. one salesman trying to sell me his honda prelude. hahha.

 

[topui11]

get a toyota Mark II, JZX81 chassis, those taxi limosine la.

then, get a Jzx81 half cut from japan (roughly around RM2500 to RM3500) and drop in everything coz all is plug and play!

don't forget to get the rear subframe and everything to convert the suspension and rear disk brakes and LSD.

then.. enjoy driving your 1JZ GTE... far far better than RB20det... in my opinion la. ;) hehehe

there's one JZX81 mark ii for sale... i think in the star paper yesterday. RM15,500 negotiable... wait aa... 0123605021. call la. see my signature?? that's the car. :D
