#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
