Default Planning to buy a nissan cefiro a31/a32



Well recently my perdana v6 got stolen,

So lets say I did not manage to get my car back, I was planning to get another 2nd hand car. I admire bodykitted nissan cefiro a32, but there are a few questions i wanted to ask, are the spare parts /expensive compared to the perdana v6? And i was also planning to look for a a32 with a manual gearbox and the VQ25DD engine. Is a manual gearbox for this engine rare? Is the acceleration superb as it claims to produce 210hp/270nm torque?
Lets say I already bough a cefiro that comes with the vq25de but a manual transmission, would the gearbox match with the vq25de engine? and would its ratios be good for acceleration and town drive?

My other plan was also to get a cefiro a31, RB25DET manual, its just that Im afraid i might lose control at high speed corners :D and the chasis of the car does not suit my taste.

The main reason why im choosing this car model because I know how reliable nissan is, my mom owns a nissan a33 2002, and till now it is so reliable. Another reason is, i love the rawr of the 6 pistons.

And how is the FC for both cars? And what is the main problem for both cars? which one is more reliable and easier to maintain?

Yah A31 with RB20DET is nice. Especially the Inline 6 sound is great. Love the Inline 6 sound.

Is it hard to get the VQ25DD engine and it's manual gearbox for the cefiro a32? And is it a 5 or 6 speed? not sure?
And how much does it cost for a VQ25DET/manual convert for the cefiro a32?

If you are not looking for a harder core performance drive on your daily driver, forget the A31. A32 is much fresher looking and more comfortable and spacious. BTW, what is it about A31 chassis that is not suited for your taste?

I dont know, it looks old i guess haha, ive heard that to refurbish to cefiro a32 cost a bomb, the hoses, bushes, lower arms are around twice the maintenance of a perdana v6, is that true?

interesting, hope to see more feedback too, i having the though of changing my gen2 to A32. Hope is not a stupid idea to others as i think A32 is the most affordable big size sedan i can come across without having to folk out to much money for trading.
