There is a hole in the floor pan for the cable, but it has a little metal plate tack welded on (i managed to twist it off with pliers/screwdriver). The plate is sealed up with a big chuck of some plastic sealant stuff.

Use an R32 handbrake lever.

[TonyL]

scrape the sealant off inside the car and you'll find the perfect template for the holes

personally I wouldn't rip out the extra plate - bit of extra strength never hurt anyone

[daisu]

You need to remove the plate to fit the handbrake cable through the floor pan.

ah k cheers guys yeah ill hav a hunt around for it

[TAKUSHI]

also is the console surround for th handbrake the same an an R32? or do i specifically need a cefiro one

[daisu]

Unfortunately it isn't the same as the skyline console, though I have seen photos/heard people using skyline (r32 and R33) center consoles to surround the handbrake.

I'd suggest using a cefiro/laurel console otherwise you'll have to modify the skyline one to make it fit.

cheers mate yeah found one on ebay for $9 haha

hey an wats the 2 switches in the console for??

[TonyL]

Electric Aerial - Fully up or half way

Auto Mode: Power or Hold

dunno about manual

[TAKUSHI]

ah ok gay so that mite be an auto console that ive bidded on then so it wouldnt accomidate th manual style handbrake would it?

[Resin]

parts for 5stud conversion and brake upgrade (not sure if ur doing this part but i dont know why you wouldnt). This is what i did but other combos have been used.

Brake Master Cylinder BM44 off r32 gtst skyline

s14 front hubs and Lower control arms

front r33 gtst calipers and discs

Rear r33 hubs and discs and calipers.

Swap the a31 handbrake cable over in the hubs as the r33 is too long. The handbrake drum setup are exactly the same.

also look at getting new brake lines from the arch to the caliper all round as the r33 ones work but dont hook up to things the same way as the originals so will wear alot more.

cheers

5 stud wheels

If money is tight, you can use R32 hubs/brakes on the rear (again use the A31 handbrake cables), and R32/S14 calipers/discs on the front S14 hubs.

Though I would recommend using the R33 brakes considering the weight of the Cefiro.

Auto console won't fit a manual handbrake lever unfortunately, you'll have to do a bit of hunting for a manual one.

As for seatbelts, I've heard maxima belts fit (read the parts compatibility guide topic).

[TAKUSHI]

ah k cool cheers for the help guys

I had a factory Auto with footbrake, converted to manual, but the center console, now with a handbrake has the 2 switches, "Power/Hold" and Electric Arial. I think you might be ok as long as you haven't bid on a console with the footbrake release.

[esky_mad]

ive seen those consoles on ebay before and theyve got the hole for the auto handbrake release. not the cut out for manual. otherwise they would have been sold ages ago.

just cut it up and MAKE it fit

The manual console has space for two switches on it, normally one would be for the aerial and the other would be blanked off.

Mine was missing the blank, so I filled it with the power/hold switch from when I had the auto.

I tried hacking mine to make it fit, you have to cut a fair bit. You can do it, but it's not very stylish.

yeah but i spose it beats havin an exposed tunnel unless i get one of those stylish hydraulic handrakes that my boss pointed out today

[daisu]

Found a picture of a laurel with center console cut to fit manual lever, looks like they are using an S13 lever though you get the idea.

[TAKUSHI]

oh yeah, that don look too bad ill just dress mine up a little an make it all nice

i now have 5 stud conversion, if anyone has seat belts im all ears

[TAKUSHI]
