1988 Nissan Cefiro SE-T review from Australia and New Zealand
"Sideways action! when pushed hard will stop spinning whees at almost 200 km/h in 5 gear"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trans failed after 3 month due to abuse, now fitted with 5 Sp manual trans and multi plate clutch, engine ran big end bearing also due to abuse and poor servicing in japan before my ownership, electrics and other drive line all in good working order before "race spec".
General comments?
Now a drift/road car, stripped interior, rebuilt motor, highly modified 2l engine (500hp), fuel system, engine management and body, custom made 18' wheels, coil over suspension, in all over $40,000 nz$ invested.
Future improvements include fitment of a twin turbocharged 4.5l Nissan V8 and 2 way locking diff.
