sweet jesus.3000 photos. Ive seen the external view of the car...basically the same, Im just interested to see the under carriage, especially the front crossmember and suspension arrangement.

Nah it aint easy to get those pictures. Ive been chasing the photos for years now and still can't even get one of em.

Thanks for uploading it mate.

Mate, you're in KL(West Malaysia)? Actually there are two types of cefiro's available here, the shitty locally assembled ones and the japanese imports..hence the difference you saw. Many cefiros in KL are fitted with the 1JZ-GTE engine as they are easy and cheap to get .. and basically straight forward unlike an RB26 where you need to get an RB25 or VG30 box to drive the car. A friend told me there's an NA31 in KL. He was hanging out at some friend's workshop when he saw a cefiro up the hoist...went underneath it and saw driveshafts at the front.Sadly the car is not for sale...

Damn, can't upload it. Can anyone help me on this?

I hope he doesnt mind but this is pic of a friend's nissan cefiro in west malaysia.Yeap, that's a T51R SPL. Runs 1000cc x 6 injectors and a Haltech E6K. RWD though.

From where I come from(East Malaysia), the A31 is the only car that is still readily available.Hardly if not never, heard of the 260RS..hehehe... Furthermore, I know most of you dudes here use the A31 for drifting but I'd like a sleeper with an RB26 and 4WD in it(straight line beast). As for the 4WD system, I think I'd forget about all the wiring hassle and opt for the Veilside or APEXi torque split controller...unsure how much they cost though. Speaking about cost, I can keep the labour rates low as I deal with many workshops almost everyday who can give me good deals.Furthermore, I do have my own mini workshop at my backyard(my dad's also an enthusiast). If I see a huge possibility of converting the A31 into an RB26DETT/4WD beast, I'll set aside some $$ for it to happen sometime soon. What's holding me back is the modifications to the chassis that is needed to fit the gearbox/ATTESSA system(wider) as well as the front suspension and front subframe/crossmember to clear the moving parts.. FYI, the A31's price over here stays at around AUD 15k. How much is it over there?

Yup..R32 GTR's RB26DETT engine and ATTESA 4WD system into the A31 Chassis(since getting an NA31 is like looking for a camel in antarctica)...is it possible? Cheers.

Thanks for the info mate. Ok, now the question is,..is it possible to fit all the R32 GTR Drivetrain into an A31(RWD) chassis? From my understanding the A31's front suspension is McPherson type and the GTR is multi-link,which means they have different suspension pick up points hence a different crossmember. I may be wrong so feel free to correct me.

Definitely a sick sleeper. There's a couple of them in New Zealand from what I have gathered through SDU.co.nz. Im just curious on difference of the RWD and 4WD chassis and whether it is possible to fit an R32 GTR engine and drivetrain into the A31 Cefiro. Cheers.

Hey Guys, I was wondering what's the difference between the A31 Cefiro and NA31 Cefiro(4WD) in the chassis department? Do they share the same floorpan and front suspension setup? Pics of the NA31's undercarriage would be nice(same as an 4 door R32?) Cheers.
