Cefiro crossmember


Recommended Posts

squizz is correct. but you can also use the cefiro x member. both pretty much the same.

bigbignacha, the rb30 motor is to tall for the hood to close on a 240sx, thus meaning you'll need a custom hood with a ugly hump in the middle so it can close.

u can allso elongate the engine mounts as far as they can go the ones that bolt 2 the block custom inlet mainifold twin cam head and the rb30 should fit .The r32 and cefiro crossmembers r the same and yes they fit straight in to a s13 i have done enough rb conversion 15 in fact so i know how do them .Oh by the way the rb30 block is 1 inch taller than a rb20 or 25

hey,

i am doing the conversion, and just got a few quick questions.

- what radiator did you use?

- when you elongate the mounts do you mean lower them or get them custom made?

- what gearbox mount and exmember did you use for the r33 5 speed.

i am having problems with bonnet shutting, and i am using r32 xmemba and r32 engine mounts.

thanks for your time

depends on what you are after the only reason i would use the cefiro crossmember is if you want to keep the 4 stud slivia brakes but with an rb30 you will need something alot more serrious than standard slivia brakes

as for the crossmember try New Zealand there was a lot of wreaks last time i was there if you have problems finding one contact me and i will see what i can find

in any case it looks like a great project keep us in touch to see if it works

my project is an s13 240sx in the states. i have converted the hatch to a pickup bed just to be a little i know that it sounds ugly but it is starin to look good. As far as the motor i am just starting, i have the rb25det cylinder head and i am going to order an rb30 from a shop in adelaidef for 1500 plus 700 shipping to the east coast in the states. just like everyone else in the states i dont know much about the rb30 except for the fact that it is an extremely rare conversion here but now the shape of my car is rare so i guess it will work. also i was going to do an r33 headlight conversion but i think i want to go with an r32 conversion so if anyone wants r33 headlights in exchange for r32 pm me :P

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
