no offence to the malays..

but i doubt there would be THAT much custom work...

they Msians don't seem too concerned with that sort of crap... especially on such an "old car"

chances are the dash is put in there - but there would be no working aircon, no functioning speedo / odo other dials.. no driving / fog lights, etc etc..

putting an R33 dash into A31 would be easy. 3M tape... few screws here n there - easy..

...getting dash looms, electrics and switches to WORK and communicate from a mid 90's skyline platform to a late 80's platform would be another thing all together i imagine...

one of the nicer dash conversions would be the A31 that ironchef is trying to sell at the moment.. it's a C33 dash with flock trim.. analog clock and digital climate control.

nic personally i think that you should buy it btw - i reckon you'd love it - your love for cefiro should not be stamped out just yet!!!!

no offense and not offended at all bro..

i fitted r33 dash on my a31 as well.. a lot of cutting here n there needed to be done especially near the firewall.. air-con? no problem at all.. everything fits perfectly..

the main reason i fit in the dash is the ease of wiring it.. all i have to is take out all of the old a31 wiring and fit in the new r33 wiring.. dash is working perfectly except for fuel gauge as it doesnt reads the real fuel capacity due to different shape of tanks between the 2 models..

but the gaps.. fuhhh.. a lot... especially on the side and nothing much can be done with it.. the dash also sits too low in a31 because the build of r33's firewall is a lot more higher than a31..

hahah..thats my friends car in the pic...guys...here in malaysia....r32 and r33 dash is a common fit and replacement to a31 cefiro...just a lot to be count....and just to let you all know....all the dash console, aircond climate controll, even aircond vent system is working nice here....even here in malaysia cefiro owners already fit in jzx90 dash...hahah..i will snap a pic when going for a cefiro malaysia a31 gathering every saturday...

but fitting this dashboard will have some gap issue that mostly notice at doorside but not that mush...only an inch and usually they go with fibrework to fill the gap...and wallah!!

but hahahahah.....there is one more dash that can fit 100% like OEM a31 dash..the lining is perfect and match with the doors lining...but you guys have to wait...it a surprise!!

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
