I think there are a few members here that have/had one before.

And, no, the Ceffy never made it stateside. The closest thing to it was the older Maxima, but it was still a bit different. Never got the RB in the U.S. Plus, the Maxima was FWD.

I had a C33 Laurel for 4 years and loved it. I moved on to bigger and better things though...

Welcome to NICO. Hope you enjoy your stay. And don't forget to swing by the RB forums as well.

Cheers!

God what I would give to find myself a real cefiro.

Nothing like a four door drifter

so these cars are rwd? What do they come with from factory? They look badass. Id like to see one in person.

Yeah, RWD or AWD with various RB20 and RB25 variants under the hood.

yes they are RWD, rear to find a AWD!, they come out factory RB20 E or RB20 DE and RB20 DET (nissan skyline internals) the good thing is all the bit are interchangable could even put the RB26DETT in no probs, very nice cars...

It's not as awesome as it may seem. They're pretty piggish (made our GTiR feel light). I had one in Germany and mainly just drove it as my get-around car (which it did a great job of that, best winter car I had there). Never took it to Nurburgring or Hockenheim.

is that because the one you had was standard? every car that has standard suspension are "piggish" they are awesome once they have ajustable suspension and a good turbo engine...

Steak tastes better when you don't drop it in the toilet first. Huh? Oh, I thought we were stating the obvious...

Your suspension wont change the weight/length of the car. In your trim, your car weighs nearly 3000 lbs and it's a foot longer than a S13. My GTiR felt heavy and it weighed 300 less pounds and was almost 2 feet shorter. When that car gave up the ghost, I grabbed the A31 BECAUSE it's piggish. I needed a safe get-around car for the winter months when my area of Germany made Lambeau Field in January look like the Mojave.

Well, of course they were "piggish". They were made to be a somewhat comfortable, yet sporty feeling, family sedan. The turbo options in the Ceffy and the Laurel were the way to go, even though the suspension was soft and mushy.

I don't know what the Ceffy's top model was, but the Laurel Club S Turbo, like I had, was a really good car that still is popular with the drifters, as well as the old Oji-sans. The later C35 Club S Turbos could be had with a factory 5 speed and some stiffer suspension under it. It was such a far cry better than the C33 and super heavy C34 Laurels.

The Ceffy and the Laurel also share a lot of components with each other, as well as R32 Skylines and S13 Silvias.

Example, the front struts are S13, the rears are R32. The brakes in the standard models are 2 pot fronts and 1 pot rears from the R32 GTS-T (Type Ms had 4 and 2 respectively). The hubs are S13 (stock 4 lug). Rear diff (VLSD) is R32 Type M, which can also be used in the S13. (Actually, S13 may have come with a stock VLSD, but I am not sure about that in Japan.)

If you ever need some spare RB20DET parts, let me know. I may have some stuff sitting in my locker, should you need it.

I love cefiros

Cefiros n Laurels are amazing

Had a C32 Laurel and installed the RB20 DET and 4 speed auto tranny. Change the turbo from the ceramic to a garret T3/T4 ball bearing, the fuel rail, stepped up to 650 injectors, aeromotive fuel pump, custom 3" exhaust and had the tranny upgraded. Can not say what was done to the tranny but it held the power. Sold it after a lady broke a major road and got her sentra destroyed. Now I'm building a 720 from the ground up.

NISSAN Rules!!!!!!
