I posted in the wrong section because I can't read.. and then I reported myself and my post.. Sorry about that.. (After I posted this, I realized that the plugs near the MAF, the silver plug with 2 wires is the connector for the ABS sensor on the front left wheel, just need to know what the black ones are now) Hey guys, I've been trying to research this for days, but I have not been able to get the answers I need. I have searched 100's of Google Pics, looked for write ups from various people but I think I can only get the right answers from the people who actually OWN the cars.. The engine is supposedly from an R34, and judging from the ECU connector (since the company hasn't sent me the correct ECU, if you know the number I need, that would be double awesome) it is really from an R34, there are 4 rows, as opposed to 2 on a normal S1/S2 RB25. I can't find any evidence that it's a NEO motor, since it didn't come with the valve cover, and the injectors are side fee. So if you've got that information as well, I'd appreciate it. (I don't mind forking out some paypal fees for whoever helps me out) So here's where I'm at. I took some pictures to show my dilemma. Here's a picture of my motor how I received it: I need to know what the connectors in RED go to (yes, I know one is a light, what light?) Here's a close up of that bundle of wires, I know that they go right around the MAF: I also need to know about the other half of the wires, the connectors on the right are under the dash, and the connectors at the top are in the engine bay, and most of the wires are contained in that bundle: here's a close up of those connectors: I researched Yahoo Auctions Japan and found those two grey connectors go into this box, but one auction says they are an Auto Mission Computer and one says that it's an ABS Computer, it's under the dash:

I'm sorry, after you mentioned the wrong section I realized that I apparently can't read either. This section is for R31 and EARLIER.. not LATER.. so sorry, and I can't edit my post, so I reported myself.

More bad news :( My idea to change the lines didn't work, basically it was the same problem. So then I took apart the master cylinder and found that the front side was not pushing any fluid out of the resevoir. So it's a Sunday, and it's a holiday here in Japan, somehow I found a GT-R master cylinder. While I was waiting for that to show up to the shop, I decided to change the rear hubs since it was "so simple" Yea, not even close me for. I think the car Gods hate me. The rear calipers were too small to fit over the rotors that I had, so I figured I had to switch to the Z32 rear brakes I had, only to find out the rear brake lines are not long enough to reach. So then I ran out of time and didn't get to check the GT-R cylinder... I guess it's good that I got the 5-stud part completed, but now I need working brakes. I have not seen any cheap RB26's lately, sorry

UPDATE!! So I got the front S14 5-stud as you guys told me and I started working on that today. I got it all bolted up and back together to bleed the brakes (I ran out of time as the shop where I was working closed at 6) So I went to bleed the brakes and found that the pedal just went to the floor everytime. Long story short I couldn't get the Z32 brakes to work. Then I had to clean up. So here is my new question.. The Cefiro uses a hose for the brake line from the "firewall/engine bay wall" all the way to the caliper itself. The S14 uses half the hose, and then a metal line, which is smaller in diameter. So in my quick goat thinking I was wondering if I swapped to the metal line I would have enough pressure to power the front brakes. I did not pick up a GTST master cylinder yet, as I am pretty much retarded and time constrained. Cliffs Notes: Z32 brakes didn't work, want to know if I switch to the half metal/half hose lines from the S14 if I will have enough pressure to at least get function until I get the GTST master cylinder

Looking through the "Cefiro Parts List" thread, and it said that you could use R32/S14/Z32 for upgrade. I didn't pay hardly anything for them though. Beer is currency to Japanese

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I am looking into the RB25 as we speak. Although, I have not checked this site in a few days, I did pick up some 300ZX 5-lug stuff, only to find out that it doesn't work on the front. *SIGH* Yeah, I hate to say that I hate this Cefiro more and more everyday. Guess I have some 300ZX stuff up for sale, haha.

Hey guys, I'm from Japan but I'm American so when I go to search for specific things like "5-lug swap" they dont' come up, I think because you guys always say 5 stud? Heck I dunno I'm sorry, but here goes.. I want to change out the 4-lug on this Cefiro that I own. I noticed in the interchangable parts section it says that you can use R32, S14, Z32 hubs to do the swap. So here is my question, is it only the HUB part, or can you change out the spindles and everything. I know that I would have to change to say S14 suspension with S14 hubs, but how exactly do I go about changing the hubs on the car? If I ask a Japanese person they say "aftermarket only" basically because Japanese people don't do things "cheap" like that. I can get my hands on S14 spindle assemblies complete with the brakes and all, and then for the rear I can get an R32 and the e-brake cable to match the brakes. So if anyone knows exactly how to complete this swap PLEASE inform me. The second thing I have a question about is that weak RB20. Again, RB25's are a dime a dozen around here since many of the family-four door Nissans run them. So would it be worth it to swap to an RB25 and use the RB20 transmission and get myself close to 400, or should I stick with the RB20 and rebuild it with a head gasket, bigger turbo, Power FC, the usual. If I am going to swap to the RB25 what exactly would I need to do? Since the junkyard down the road has 5 RB25 cars I can get complete swaps with Harnesses, ECU's, MAF's anything. However, at the present time they are all automatic cars. Third, does anyone have in dash TV/DVD players? I am looking at purchasing one from the US because they are only $280 right now, but I don't know if the flip out will hit the dash or not. I was thinking I should try to stick to the indash screen, but they cost three times as much money. I guess that's it for now, if anyone out there can help me I would greatly appriciate it. -Donnie

My car isn't much, but here is a few pics. This was this past weekend at the local track here in Japan

Just use Exhaust Manifold washers. Two of those and a longer bolt, you will have a nice raised look

What is the going rate for a chrome grille?

This power FC says "PFC RB25 0001-0021" and the commander says "FCC2 NT000-00187" I feel like such a noob, but honestly with Power FC's I am. I have never had one

I have an RB25 Power FC, if you could get the model number I could be willing to work out a deal with you.. and I won't rape you.. just trying to help out car people. However, if you can navigate your way through UpGarage.com I have seen them going for 500-600 USD

Hey, if you send me a PM I can get it translated directly from a Japanese person, since that's where I am.

Hey guys, my name is Donnie. I recently moved to Japan because of the military and I somehow managed to have an A31 Cefiro land in my lap. It wasn't my first choice car, but I think I can make it work. I'll mostly post in the Cefiros section, but feel free to say hello anyways
