How to make a Nissan Skyline from a Cefiro! By Ian King

[blaydensdad]

big props on the build, def 1 of a kind, I've been building cars for years but havnt seen something like that before, nice....

[Sk1dA10]

thats really nice but why not just buy a r33 nissan skyline to start with?

[sshhh12]

@Sk1dA10 we did not have skylines back then!

[spectrospirit]

How much time did you use on this project? Awesome build :)

[sshhh12]

@spectrospirit took a year plus to finish!

[TheGuywithecamera]

what the fuck how is that even possible. it was a small car now its a skyline truck? thoes asains can build anything!

[loybulol]

kuya anong pangalan ng kanta and sino po kumanta? salamat po

[jonmanch3st3r]

wow....you are the man

[Rguy6900]

I LOVE this video!! because of this I took my cefiro and did this conversion.. my budget wasn't the same though and it still has 4 doors.. One thing, can you tell me which body kit i can use to 'even out' the appearance? The R33's front is much wider and bigger than the cefiro but its a work in progress.. Thanks :)

[sshhh12]

@Rguy6900 it was all custom fabricated to fit in the front

[Rguy6900]

@sshhh12 ok nice. now i know that i'll have to go with fiberglass even though i didnt want to.. as of now i have 3 options; fiberglass, modifying an r33 body kit or modifying a c35 kit.. which is best?

[Scorpion85629]

Was that all the same chassis in multiple builds?

[sshhh12]

@Scorpion85629 yes it was a multiple re build

[ROSO1998]

dude i bought my gtr r34 for 45,000$

[finnsk3]

Amazing... Wouldn't this thing over steer everywhere considering it's a ute :P Unless that rb26dett is stock. I thing R33s look heaps better than R32s, especially the GTRs with the pump guards. R34s are slightly better I guess.

I could just imagine how loose this thing would be with the 400RWKW engine out of my R33 in it :S

[cod4Anubis]

abominio e sacrilegio

[loybulol]

Ano po pangalan ng song and po ang kumanta?

[skylinefan26]

magkano kaya nagastos?

[rafael29g]

fuck sake that was awesome skyline hahahahaha ang galing nyo pare galing nyo mag modify i cant believe you guys made this beast like a ute im raf im a skyline driver mine is skyline r33 series 2 gts25t man your car is mad ass im proud to be filo yeah

[James12Alto]

hahaha ganda na sana kaso gusto ko itsura back light corvette harap r34 gtr

[z3r0zx1]

Not being a dick or anything, I own an R33 GTS skyline (first car lol) But WHY an R33? R32 and R34's have a really nice body to them compared to an R33 ):

[sshhh12]

@z3r0zx1 because of the availability of a master copy! If I could redo it would be an r34

[Destronus]

Is it possible to fit the ATESSA 4WD system on the A31 Cefiro?

[sshhh12]

@Destronus yes i think so

[fireninjawolf]

so how did you convert the car from front wheel drive  to rear wheel? Also the the bars in the bed is that support or for the look? And what type of welder did you use?

thanks; its a sweet ride.

[DrYiCe34]

@fireninjawolf

The cefiro A31 is RWD

[fireninjawolf]

@DrYiCe34 Do you know of some cars that are also RWD that this can be do to aswell.

thanks

[sshhh12]

@fireninjawolf its really rear wheel drive already, support and safety, tig welding

[carrote16]

this is awesome dude ! but this project is so expensive !but it's worth it!good job bro ! i wish i can have this one too soon . .

[DrumMayne]

awesome looking car. but i dont see why you did the truck conversion. i wouldve left it a 4 door

[sshhh12]

@DrumMayne coz everyone runs a ceffy here

[DrumMayne]

@sshhh12 well i mean do the Skyline front and rear but leave it a 4 door. probabely would look better than a truck IMO =P

[maubanampon]

why wouldnt you just buy a skyline?

[sshhh12]

@maubanampon coz it wasnt available back then and its right hand drive

[crazidrifter]

OMFG THATS THE BEST FREAKING CONVERSION I HAVE SEEN IN DRIFTING PERIOD. i seen hachis transformed into pick-ups, 180s, sil80s, RX7 fds, but this is the 1st time i seen a cefi turned to a pick up then to a skyline that is bad ass, if i havent seen the video on the whole conversion i would have thought that was a r33 pick up. nice add on to the rb26 man, great work

[jordy0208]

Thats amazing, very creative.

[wowzinger]

how much would it cost to pay some one to do?



[sshhh12]

@wowzinger quite a bit, lots of time and patience! I spent over $10k on bodywork

[pzemup]

man thats the best transformation i have ever seen very impresive and creative

[sshhh12]

@pzemup thanks man!

[wowzinger]

dude awsome but i would have put an r32 front the r33 looks to big dosnt fit the car great but still sick as hell man nice work

[jhund5]

although its a nice work, cefiro body is not a gtr shell, its def any other skyline they weld xtra support thats why gtr's are very rigid body i know this cuz i have 1 i just hates it cuz its on the right side, now san ba pwedeng magpa convert sa left side pa message nga pls,

salamat :)

[sshhh12]

@jhund5 alot of people convert skylines now a days here, check out DMF in katipunan

[HK271184]

Should have used an R32 or 34 front/rear lights IMO

[sshhh12]

@HK271184 back then there wasnt any available!

[HK271184]

@sshhh12 Ah ok... Fkn sweet job all the same bro

[lorddelapepsi]

[loybulol]

[otaiz2002]

very nice job bro.. keep it up!

[rldabomb]

wow thats great but all that time, money, and hard work they should've just bought a R33 and made it to a pick up truck and they wouldn't had time and money left over to go to the bar and get some pussy. lol

[AlexCameronMulcahy]

This has hell got me keen to do a conversion like this, from these pictures it doesnt look as if it would be to hard to do. Did you's run into any problems whilst doing the ute conversion?

[insanityawakens]

i thought it looked pretty good at 1:05 but nice job you know what you're doing. Now make a ferrari out of an oldsmobile! lol jk

[kobir80]

[randell1308]

[hmongbreaker]

wow nice project. what paint color is that?

[HEKTIC458]

WOW!!!!! i love it!!! best "Skyline" ute ever!! The colour and bodykit suits it perfectly. I couldnt have thought of anyway to make it better =D 11/10

[nazzop]

[fredfredburger123]

do you think i could make one similar to this with a 1989 nissan pickup?

[sshhh12]

why not?? just plan it right!

[fredfredburger123]

@sshhh12 like would it be hard to put the skyline nose on it?

[sshhh12]

im not sure, we did trial and error plus alterations!

[fredfredburger123]

@sshhh12 oh well looks like your work paid off because thats one sweet truck i cant get over it.

[sshhh12]

thanks man!

[Parkourfalah88]

@fredfredburger123 pay attention now. I respect phillipinos coz of that! ok? this is a good thing! write it on a piece of paper and read. THIS IS A GOOD THING THAT PHILLIPINOS ARE GOOD TECHINICIANS,.

[sshhh12]

Its Filipino my friend.

[2187gibbo]

yeah definitely, hats off to you mate thats an insane effort with an absolutely nuts outcome, good work, love it

[sshhh12]

cheers!

[fredfredburger123]

@Parkourfalah88 bro shut tha fuck up put a phlip kids in a movie or a real sport and they aren't shit. get over yourself no race is better than another.

[davienlaura]

hats off mate, a hell of alot of work into that!! i have an r33 so can understand how time consuming this must have been....well done

[sshhh12]

it was fun that was for sure!

[Snakypaintbrush]

just simply amazing work mate fair play to ya

[sshhh12]

cheers!

[a31pryde]

Dude dispite wot these girlies are crying bout ive had 3 cefs and and an r32 and i wish i had thought of this. Its f@@king sexy and theres no other like it in the world so ur a f**king legend from the NZ Car nutz. FUCK YEA RB!

[sshhh12]

thanks mate!

[BenMacKerras]

Definitely individual, but I dunno if using a Cefiro is exactly cost effective. Using a 4 door 33 would be far easier and cheaper.

Well done though.

[sshhh12]

when i had decided to do the project there wernt any available yet!

[manakian]

hehe it look terrible man.. huh.. but quite creative idea.. well done dude..

[Dzone20]

been watching this video for a several times a day!

1st is i studied the way of cutting a car into a pickup cause i would like to do that it in a r33 RC bodyshell.

2nd- great conversion!,great car!

and 3rd is i like the music!

[sshhh12]

haha goodluck!

[Dzone20]

yep!

trying to look for a r33 body now.

and white volk te37!

hope to finish it!

[denson05]

nice job,,,nice ride

[arab4life2008]

wow. hot car man.. how much money did it cost yo in total??? must have been alot !!!

[sshhh12]

sponsors helped alot!

[GottaBeAbstract]

wouldnt of been quicker to just start with a r33 instead of cefiro, r32 and r33?

[sshhh12]

we dont get skylines here often they are grey market imports that are converted as well!

[StainGraffiti]

nice...but with that much money spent on the car u could of imported almost 3 skylines..

[sshhh12]

nah skylines are pretty expensive here as well, plus whats the fun in buying off the rack!

[ronaldfdoculan04]

niccee!

go pinoy!

xD

[TEGRAGSR1998]

wow man.. serious props on the ride.. jus curious how much did the build run u?

[sshhh12]

[snoopdoggygog13]

[sshhh12]

[LordAbortian]

Wow really nice job man..

I dream to have projects like that really..

Really amazing man!

[chimaera1855]

i swaped a lovely rb26 det into an A31with over 4++hp but always got oil pump propbs so i finally changed it and now she run really strong.u did a pretty good job with ur monster

[sshhh12]

im only at 370 whp, I want more out of it, what turbos are you running? And how many fuel pumps?

Im running a greddy oil pump, and I fixed the Crank pump collar as well!

[alenop]

hie, just wanna ask ur opinion, i'm using nissan cefiro a31 with rb 20 det engine...

can i use BOV since i gt originelly fitted wastegate?

[sshhh12]

yes any turbo can can use a BOV

[alenop]

but rb20 det is originally fitted wastegate.

when the boost is high and wastegate throws, so do the BOV, it cause unbalance fuel and air mixture cause nagging power, maybe the air flow system is not suitable to be used with BOV, or the wiring and ecu incorrect, i found a fuse type black and white wire unfused in the dashboard of driver side,....

[sshhh12]

well technically almost all turbo engines comes with a by pass valve rather than a blow of valve. BOVs are more for the sound.

what happens when a BOV vents out air the car goes into a rich state for a split second thus the unbalanced feeling.

[alenop]

is it gt anything to do with the engine?

if there is any wire faulty, sure i can't start the engine and or i can't pass the 3500 rpm, but i dun have that problem, everything is ok....just feel difficult to start in d early morning and feel didn't reach the power of rb 20..... my boost is 0.7 bar.... turbo is standard and so do the engine.but my engine when i bought was originally fitted with BLITZ ecu.

[sshhh12]

i really cant tell you whats wrong here. But you can find the stock boost settings online. I usually join forums where you can read past experiences from other car owners so you can help figure out your problem. But in the end a trust worthy mechanic is the best bet for you to solve your problems with your engine.

check your plugs, gap them properly, change your fuel pump, also do a vacuum leak test for all lines! As the rubber lines get older they are more prone to small leaks.

[mrdjcatch]

mate this looks perfect by the time its done... and great to see u done it justice by sticking in the correct GTR engine in the car. as i'm sure some people done similar in the past and left some crappy 2.0 non turbo in it. This is a professional job. love it. well done. how much will you sell it for? haha

[sshhh12]

thanks, not selling it anymore!

[87toyotacorolla]

do u need a 4dr car to make a pickup out of it caus i have a 4dr and 2 dr e30 and id like to know????

[sshhh12]

i can do it to any car!

[alenop]

can i know, wat gearbox u r using?

is it rb26 dett + rb25 gearbox?

[sshhh12]

yes, running an r33 gts gearbox with an r32 rb26dett

[jmc0396]

dude that went from a piece of shit to the best,thats a 5 star

[JCREW365]

LOVE IT :)

[stene12345]

omg , nice m8 good job

[Dzone20]

greatest modification i saw!

cool and clean!

keep it up!!

[o0charmz0o]

mate this is one awesome piece of art wish i could do something like this one day its turned out so good bro should put it into a show and why'd you use cefiro body was it for the length?

[sshhh12]

thank you, its what i started with already, seemed like a good idea to keep fixing it!

[sharifr1]

Thats quality mate!

[L337Z1LL4]

Nice work, well done!

[Exitachy]

in malaysia there's a shop called autolure. they can convert cefiro a31 exactly looked like skyline r34 not like van looking car lol.

[sshhh12]

i think I saw it online, it was pink right?

[Exitachy]

one of them was pink . well there r many of them .. in movie called impak maksima. theres blue cefiro fully r34 converted. i cant believe that . but its the truth.. they also can convert perdana v6 to exactly like r33 skyline . but the kits are handmade so its cost much more expensive than ordinary bodykit.

[sshhh12]

yes my kit is handmade as well.

[Exitachy]

nice job though. but i wonder wats the engine ? RB26dett? Or one of those SR engine?

[sshhh12]

rb26dett

[maryjezz]

asatig talaga ang pinoy!

[sshhh12]

thanks

[andrescaraudio]

looks nice. but with all the money you invested in that car you could buy a real skyline though

[sshhh12]

yes i know, but where is the fun in that?!

[8stewiegriffin]

you're asking where is the fun in owning the real Skyline GT-R instead of a mass of car junk welded together, hmmm it's hard to answer that bro...

[sshhh12]

sorry, GTRs dont drift, thats why i dint get one.

[8stewiegriffin]

I suspect there may also be a monetary reason involved ;) And instead of answering every single comment you could weld or assemble something. I'm here because I can't sleep, what excuse have you got?

[sshhh12]

this is just one of my rides, and its lunch time over here!

[ulolentot]

may papel ung car?

[sshhh12]

yes! for sale!

[ulolentot]

or and cr? db nissan cefiro?ano nklgay sa papel nya?

[sshhh12]

cefiro pick up

[Emopunk666]

how much for that car?

[sshhh12]

1.5m

[captivated22]

hope you'd understand.

[captivated22]
