Hi, Guys !

I'm new here, so don't give me hard time due to my first post :D.

Studying in China, Beijing right now. And had this stupid idea bugging my head for a couple of months.

They have a31 here (Rb20de and rb24e carby). There are all LHD.

So I've been thinking if I get one a31 and get all the gt-r running gear into the car. I know with the right money everything's possible, but has anyone done it before ?

I've seen jz, rb26 powered a31, but I'm deffinetly sure there were no 4wd ones.

I've heard that the RB26 front cv joints won't be able to reach the hubs, due to different suspension geometry etc.

Can some one please clear those things up for me, so I won't have any stupid ideas anymore ? lol

Thanks in advance!

Cefiros came out with atessa out of the factory, rare as but yuup, came out from factory with rb20det's

they were the Nissan Cefiro SE-4

chassis code ELNA31.

so if you found one of these theres no reason you wouldnt be able 2 bolt up an rb26 to it. :D

Importing one is a huge problem. And RHDs are banned here ? Stupid laws. For stupid people :D

So if I will have to do the work by myself. What should I really look into ? Swap the whole GTR suspension ? It's like building one from scrap lol :ermm:

I have one of these elna31's :) its currently running a gtr32 g/b as they came as 100% factory auto i was thinkin of doing the rb26 attessa thing with it but im just gonna drop the whole lot out and make it rb25 rwd :)

ANd they also have the exact same double wishbone setup as the 32's not the og s13 style

wanna buy it :)

Sorry for diggin up and old post, and sorry if it seems a silly question...

But......do the A31 Ceffys, in RWD guise, use the same strut front end (or simmilar to) an S13? And the AWD use the same as an R32? Or do all Ceffys use the same R32 wishbone style suspension?

AWD ceffys have a different chassis to the RWD ones (just like GTS4's have the same chassis as GTR's and not GTSt's), so their suspension geometry is also accordingly different

Hmmmmm.........

Interesting....as the S13 front suspension fits into an R31......And I have been toying with the thought of an AWD r31 using the A31 AWD gear....that was assuming the AWD front end was like the S13 front end may have made my job easier.

Well....Not much has happened....I have a 26 powered R31 and have been thinking of doing the AWD for some time now.

Realisitcally I am doing as much background working out as I can before I do anything.

a group in the US is putting an RB26DETT and AWD drivetrain into an S14, so if you put your mind to it, and have the $$$ to back it up, then it should be possible.

But yeah, converting a RWD cef to AWD is a bit of a waste of time, when you can already buy AWD ceffy chassis from factory. There's heaps of em in the snowy/mountain areas of japan.

As for AWD R31... hmmm nice idea, but isn't the Nissan Langley 4WD GT pretty much the same?

yeah true... its more like a AWD bluebird than an R31. Very cool idea. Bit of a beyotch to do, you'd have to fabricate new chassis rails to accomodate front axles etc.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
