gh,

the vq20 is just as easy to tune up like any other cars. the engine timing can only be adjusted at a nissan dealer via consult and the spark plugs at the rear bank can be replaced easily be removing the ignition coils.

hammerofgod,

watch out for oil leaks. when i got my cefiro, i thought it was just a minor leak but it was a major one pala. engine has to be pulled down to replace all the oil seals.

ed10908,

alternatively, you can use petron's e10. its compatible with the cefiro. 95+ octane, no tope, i get around 6-7km/liter city driving. also the recommended oil is 5w30 for improved fuel economy.

thanks for the info. sir, magkano ba buying ng 98 cefiro? do you know anyone selling? meron kasi akong nakita sa bulletin 99 cefiro 240k pa. 100tkm tapos palit na daw ng timing chain.

mga bro, i saw a 1997 cefiro already. may i ask what should i look or watch out for with this unit? its quite old na din kasi 11 years na. yung keys ba nito, may chip na din? sabi ng 2nd owner, isa lang daw susi nya.

need some inputs guys.

thanks in advance

2 keys with chip. look for oil leaks and kalampag.walang namang special sa mechanical system ng cefiro.kung automatic hanap mo sa tingin ko alam mo na ang ichecheck mo.di ka naman kasi hahanap ng automatic kung di ka pa nakagamit. total kms driven of 100k-150k is not a problem as long as well maintained yung makina.
