I've only viewed the first video so far, nothing too exciting but I thought it might interest some of you. Not sure what the second and thrid videos are, I haven't DLed them yet.

 

Just watched the 2nd video, it's a pair of Cefiros (VQ30DET) drifting...

 

cefiros are rwd?

 

You mean, a pair of Cefiros (RB20DET) drifting..

 

I stand corrected. I thought Cefiros were VQ30DET powered. Is that the Cima I'm thinking of?

 

BTW, the best video is here..

http://subzero.mine.nu/celica/orangefdhighspeed.mpg

 

The Cedric/Gloria use the VQ30DET. The Cima uses a VQ but the base is a 2.0 something liter direct injection one with an optional 3.0 liter direct injection one. I think.. LOL

 

That site is as slow as a debaged Civic DX!

 

sweet find. thanks

 

the CIMA = Q45
the base engine for the cima is the vq30det and optional is the q v8(vk45de?)

and the cedric/glorida turbo use the vq30det also

 

sorry..

40-80k a sec is too slow for JoO

 

Man..those cefiros are so bad!

 

Damn, the first vid looks like some 3rd gens? am I wrong?

 

awesome!!! Those Cefiros had the RB20DET, I am guessing. I have a plastic model of one, but I haven't finished putting it together...yeah...that will happen......

 

did they do an engine conversion?


cuz i don't think any cerfio's came stock with any rb series engine only vq's 2.0,2.5,3.0

 

Look up for MaximaMikes posts.

 

In Taiwan (can't speak 100% for Japan) the Cefiro come with a 2.0L VQ (V-6) and a 3.0L VQ (V-6). The SR20DET is not available in the car. I presume it is the same everywhere else as well.

Looks like we got a discrepency...Somebody backup their statements with some sort of online stats!

The cefiro (4th gen) is a FWD car, it has the VQ in 3 forms depending on where in the world you live 2.0, 2.5, 3.0

Just because they may have been hand breaking doesn't mean that you can't create understeer in a FWD.

 

Speaking of japanese engines does anyone know where to get a VQ30DET.

cima has a vq30det.

I would contact tilleys99 he has one.

 

Those Cefiros are definately RWD, regardless of what engine they have. The first video shows the engine bays, the engines are mounted longitudinally, making them definately RWD.

 

The A31 Cefiro(shown in that video) is powered by an RB20DET engine. In the first vid you can see it, and cross reference what you see in that to any pic of a lesser older Skyline model(not G-TR, maybe GTS-T, or GT).
