A Build from where most cars aren't cool. 1JZ Cefiro. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I<3-SR20DET · 12-06-2011, 09:25 PM

Started off with cars about 3 years ago, I'm currently 19 from toronto ontario and here is my build.
Most cars up here don't do it right, so fellow friends and I try to hold it down our best.

Started out with this thing.

then did standard teenager 240 procedure.

then broke a battle and stumbled upon a pair of these.

got sick of being in highschool and not being able to source a matching pair
so traded for these

then traded those four for 8 of these

then drifted the car alot

theeeeen built the car over winter and drifted it alot.

chassis was ready for death and I was bored of owning a car I didnt enjoy street driving. The racecar novelty wore off.

I had been on the prowl for a clean 180 or 240 chassis but wasn't very excited and was overall bored of these cars. Had a "next year" chat with a friend of mine and we came to the conclusion I should buy this Cefiro shell that had been sitting up for sale for a long long time. Ended up putting a deposit on the car 3 days later.

About a day after I trailered the car home a friend and I went halves on some shop space. Small but in budget and works.

started dissassembly

Refreshed racecar suspension for cefiro

Built myself some tubs.

seam sealed

Scrapped the s13

Test fitted Orgin kit.

Got a set of eurolines in 18x9/10 +30, was never satisfied with the sizing and were more of an impulse.

the initial plan was an easy as pie throw my racecar SR in and bam!
Then I realized how ass backwards it is to put a 4 cylinder 0 tq motor in a big sedan with a 6cyl engine bay. Rb's are cool and stuff but to have a 25 to my liking I would need another $1000+ for a forward facing manifold etc.
So I picked up a soarer 1jzgte R154 dealy.

Made some custom lines

moved the rad back and up to fit the intercooler where I wanted it and the rad where i wanted it.

mocking everything up...

Had to fab up a snakey downpipe.

filter relocate bracket.

2 steeepppppin'

Grinded down the inside welds and added glass to fill, followed by evercoat glaze.

at the importers I swapped sumps so I had to pull everything back apart to clean up and seal it properly.

relocate figuring out fittings.

tubs complete.

wire tuck, just needs loom.

got rid of the impulse buys and got some ssr gartmaier's

mounted up some tires.

started smoothing out holes on the firewall I wont be using.

sheesh thats a heavy first post. dorimoto

Prove It · 12-06-2011, 09:32 PM

this is super sick d00d. cant wait to see her done. Good luck

s13silvia_R · 12-06-2011, 09:36 PM

God damn and I ain't even catholic.
This is one heavy ass build, the gartimers are more suitable for the cefiro.

deathrace2000 · 12-06-2011, 10:12 PM

I like the way this is going so far.

TsukubaSpec · 12-06-2011, 10:24 PM

Awesome work man, you got those Gartmaier's from vr wheels right ? i had my eyes on these, if you ever wanna sell them let me know.

Copilot911 · 12-06-2011, 10:32 PM

Wow awesome build man, great to see a fellow canadians build up here.

Zacho · 12-06-2011, 10:33 PM

Love this. I have a laurel and these two cars are rare to see documented. Keep it up.

Mitsubayati · 12-06-2011, 10:36 PM

Since you are 19, may I ask how you afford all of this? Where'd you get those welding skills?

Nice build though man. I would have not been able to dump a car like that. I'd probably be too attached haha

95KA-Turbo · 12-06-2011, 10:46 PM

I was expecting the OP to be from Florida when I opened this, LOL.

Needless to say this thread didn't go how I expected at all! Looks awesome so far, I'm excited to see it all done!

Glad you like it, I've been a welder and fabricator for 0 years.
Teaching myself and learning as I go.

It's honestly not bad. And I think you know that.

Feel free to pm me with any questions. You may have seen some of my work in the fab thread.

Or even some work on SON. (where i go by S13counterpart)

travisty_ · 12-07-2011, 12:24 AM

Nice Gartmaiers, looking forward to seeing it on the ground.

Too cool.

killer240 · 12-07-2011, 12:40 AM

good choice on wheels, love em cerberus. looking fore more updates soon, this is my first time subscribing to a cefiro build. good luck and have fun

Walperstyle · 12-07-2011, 12:41 AM

You have a lot of talent in your build, and I envy the work you are putting in, but I still don't know why people import them to Canada. I simply Hate Cefiro's. They always reminded me of a silvia's fatter uglier sister. A lot of people from the US will love it simply for being JDM.

However

That being said, your car is going to be probably one of the coolest ones on this Continent, and if its clean, you will for sure get featured in magazines. My respect for this car and your build go far beyond anyone's expectations.

Keep up the good work!
