I have my S14 front brakes waiting to get their brake lines and hubs before being attached to my A31 and was wondering if anyone had ever used S14 coilovers on their Cefiro.

I believe the bolts should line up with the A31 in the rear and if I use the S14 hubs with matching balljoints pressed in to the stock A31 LCAs the front should bolt up snug without the need for sleeves on the bolts connecting the hubs to the shock-absorber. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If anyone has pics of an A31 with stock S14 shock and springs or S14 coilovers please feel free to post up pics/links, I'll really appreciate it.

Mine was converted to five stud in Japan so I'm not sure on what components i.e hubs were used for the conversion.

I later swapped from s13 front coilovers to s14.

Bolt holes from hub to shock WERE DIFFERENT in diameter! Didn't phase me or my mechanic though, just torqed the bolts up and rolled away with massive camber adjustability.

Im pretty sure the rears will bolt up however looking at pics the S14 and S15 rear sturts look alot (and i mean alot) longer than the S13/'cefiro rear struts so be careful

That's the info I want. Can't seem to find any pics with a side by side comparison. I guess, short of actually going to a scrap yard and putting the two side by side I'll never know until I actually buy them.

Oh well, I'll just try to get some S13 adjustables and sleeves for the bolts running through the hub and shock. The stock S13 shocks have the front pretty low and I'm becoming tired of crossing speed-bumps sideways.

s14 rear struts bolt up pretty much on the parcel shelf wheras s13/r32/cefiro are down much lower in the boot, so 100% DON'T fit sorry mate , alternatively you could sell the rears if you plan on buying a set as they fit s14/15/r33/34 :P

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
