Me on Instagram and update


I have received many emails, text and private message on Facebook either for questions, tips and even ask me to update my blog

I am truly sorry for the lack of update. Im quite busy with lots of jobs at the moment. I enjoy blogging and sharing information and stuffs, but my schedule wouldnt allow me to.

Thanks to the advance technology we have today, and the magic of smartphones. I can and i have updated some of my project on my personal Instagram. Not a lot but there's something.

You can follow me on Instagram with username @chinoisedori

Also, will change my blog to 'the-sliders.com' soon. And this site will be revise as a more proper site and a platform to promote my new shop soon. Dont worry, its still automotive associated. Not a fancy dress shop or a toy shop.

Anyway. Enjoy your holidays (if you have any) and please stay tuned for more update. For those who is still working on their project. I wish you all best of luck and never give up on your project!

#4 Cefiro A31 wiring swap


It is decided.


Matte color on a big car never turn me down

My friend did a good job on this car. Color is even and the matte clear on this car is amazing!

I swapped the old tail lights with this facelift version, which is the original for this year.

As promised. After the paint i sent the car to the specialist

Which then threw out all my old wiring for a wiring loom from RB25DET series 2. Eventhough my engine is from R34 NEO. To get it running i need to get the whole set. That includes dash panels, sensors and lots of try and error

For this job i have requested to make the wiring runs original. Original means less headache and hassle for me. I just wanted the car running smooth without any trouble

And he has done a great job. I was exciting to hear the engine cranked up. He took me for a spin and it was fun! it runs without any problems and there's no spitting involve when boosting.

 Job done in a week. Immediately after a short run the tires gave in

Its a suitable time to change the tires. As the old 255's at the back is way too wide for this car/

For now im running 225/50/17 at front and 235/50/17 at the back.

 And it looks amazing. The wheels and tires are spot on. It needs some drop maybe an inch or two should be nice. 

For this upcoming season. I have decided to NOT to tint the car, remain the super silent exhaust and number plates according to specs. This is due to the government is currently setting up roadblocks everywhere to give tickets to offenders. In other words they cant get enough of our money.


Until then, cheerios~


#3 Cefiro A31 new uniform

Ive bought the Nissan Cefiro in a hope that this will be my daily ride. The hope crushed as the wiring faults are beyond repairs. So i just left it unattended for 4 months and bike was my daily beater during that time.


So i contacted a friend of mine for specialist in RB series. He agreed to take in my car but in a month time. So i got the car up and running, only to brought it back to my house.

It was a majestic moment, it was a quite some time since i drove out this car

Got some budget for the car. Without hesitation i sent the car for a paint job since i had to wait for a month to get it repaired.

Car looks hideous! I hate the colour, i hate the bodykit. i hate everything aesthethic about this car

Removing all the trims and stuffs

Well it does looks better than before aint it

They had to peel off paint on some areas. Some tips: Cefiro's were sold in Malaysia from 1988-1994. The production between 1988-1991 was brought in by ap holder, the car quality and equipment were the same with japanese models, it was brought in as CBU unit. But between 1992-1994 Cefiro's were brought in by an authorized dealer of Nissan Malaysia (Tan Chong Motor) as CKD, the price was a bit cheaper. But the downside is the material for chassis wasnt entirely from Japan. That explains Cefiro's from 1992 and above had some issues on rust mainly on roof. Unfortunately for me, mine is from 1993 and THERE is a rust on the roof.

And fortunately i have fixed the roof. It should stay rust free for couple of years on.

I bought complete kits from Wonder to replace those ugly bumpers

And new bonnet damper since Cefiro has a bit of an issue on the stock one's

Primer for even paint surface later

THIS is how Cefiro should look like

Paint prep
