Hey guys---I bought a set of tails of ebay listed as 96-99. The guy said they were 99. I only bought them since I have the center section from a 99 and needed the tails to match up. I got them today and they look the same as my 96's except they are clear on the bottom. They are covered in sealent on the back as well. I think I just paid someone $125 for a set of cleared 96's which I already have. My car isn't here and I can't get it until Monday---can anyone tell by looking at these what year they are? I am only going by memory here---but these look the same as my stock 96's I think.

thanks folks.

 

Nope. Those are 98-99's. 96-97's dont have as much of a crystal look and they also have a strip in the middle to seperate the red and white.



See.

 

Hey Max: Is the tail light in the pic one that SY sells? How muc hdoes he charge for those? Just curious lol

 

Yeah, that's the 96-97 OEM Cefiro Outer Tails and the price for them was $175.

 

DAMN! That's a lot of mulah! lol Just curious. I know you want me to keep my red tails. he he I think I will.

 

No, those are not the cefiros 'OEM outer', they're the Infiniti I30 OEM ones, b/c the Cefiro A32s do not have the red piece in the corner where the clear comes through. That's the american standard, but the Cefiros overseas are cleared all the way. See pic below

In case you're all wondering, this is my uncle's A32 in China, was taken by me in a trip back in June.
Here's another

This car was previously owned by an Ambassador (High Level Gov't Official) in China, had a driver drive him around in it, notice the curtained windows. Mmmm, nice to know that our I30s are known all around the world as luxury, suited for people with power

And here's my auntie's whip, it's so nice.


Sorry for all the pics, but I get excited when I think about cars.

 

Your uncle has 2nd gen Cefiro in China. The Red Clear showed above is from the very first gen Cefiro off the VIP car. So to clear everything up:

1. The photos in ebay is from 98-99 Infiniti I30 USDM
2. The photo in the 2nd thread is off JDM/Asia 1995-1997 Nissan Cefiro
3. The one's that were mentioned and is pictured in the Chinese Cefiro is for 98-2000 Cefiro's. The A33 didn't appear in Asia until late 2000 as 2001 model.

Umm, didnt know cefiros look almost like european maxima's, just different grill. lol

here's mine

 

I noticed it too a long long time ago! However, I thought cefiro's had the cefiro headlights?

@SYCEFIRO:



Man! That's one sexy tail!!! How was it done?? I want that tail to, I just LOVE the flip up part on the trunk, looks a little BMW like, but with those tails even better! I think however that I would have gone with a US spec Maxima taillight conversion, those dudes have hot taillights, especially those carbon fibre tails.

 

Well, there are actually Cefiro A32s with this type of grille in Asia (which I kinda like exept I wouldn't get it since it has Nissan as the emblem, no offense, but I wouldn't put that on my Infiniti)


are these the European Maxima's grille?


And I think only true Japanese Cefiros came with the JDM one-piece headlights, like this:



And sorry for the image quality guys, I took these at night with insufficient lightling (my camera flash as the only source).

 

What is the status with the tail lights and the steering wheel?

 

yup thats the grill I got. Mine's painted black tho and I took the ugly nissan hamburger off. I didnt like the chrome look anyway
