Straight From Japan...

I bought these on Ebay from a guy in Japan:



They are the JDM '95 and '98 Cefiro brochures. I will scan them to PDF later on down the line, but I'm too busy right now. By far the coolest thing I've bought on Ebay.

Yeah i definately want to see the scans.

I guess i should offer my help too. Call it sad, but my dad and me have almost every car and driver/road and track since 1980 only a few missing here and there but we have 2 filing cabinets full. Oh and tons of car brochures..dating back to the early 80's. I even had one for the nissan mid4 concept..im sure some of you know what that is

Hello,

congratulation for buying fantastic brochures.

Look at my Maxima sites. http://www.freewebtown.com/nissanmaxima/index.htm There are scanned brochures from all over the world. If you will be doing I30/Cefiro, this could be interesting for you.

I30 brochure
http://www.freewebtown.com/nissanmax...0USA/index.htm
Special brochure Cefiro A32 Optional Parts catalogue
http://www.freewebtown.com/nissanmax...0JPN/index.htm

I have genuine Nissan Cefiro bodykit brochure too, but not scanned yet.

um... I could have given you the manual out of my old A32 Cefiro... but seriously... whats the attraction for you guys with Cefiro's??

Seriously.. theres not much the Cefiro has that the US maxima doesn't - other than the fact they look like an Infinity I30, have a MEVI from the factory, come in 2L, 2.5 and 3L and you'll only ever find one in manual with a 2L.

With that in mind.. i'd much rather a US maxima.. Cefiros are kinda boring?

its all about the details. i will admit i was cefiro obsessed for a while, maily because of the jdm appearence mods avaiable (aftermarket and oem). i'm starting to like the maxima better of the 2 but even if i only find 1 little thing that nobody else has it was worth $20.

yeah I get it. Can't get Cefiro's in Australia either - but New Zealand is absolutely flooded with them. Cefiros are quite commonly used as taxi's in new zealand.

Auto dimming rearview is optional on the I30. I think that proximity sensors not.

I like the rear windshield. if you live in a place with a lot of rain the rear wiper should come in handy
