Parts Substitute Questions

[Lum]

Been offered an RB26 R32 one for free, problem is it's 200 miles away. Is this likely to have the same fittings?

[o0o]

wohoo you again

like i said on DW, from all rb's will fit but you need the brackets that came with the a/c compressor...

or make them yourself, its not that difficult

[jamind]

lol damn, was some misinformation d1nz!!!

got the stuff from the gtr now but clutchslave won't fit rb20 gearbox, clutchmaster is too big and won't fit in the stock-clutch holes, gotta drill some new holes or just a stock cefiro clutchmaster...

clutchpedals fits surprised straight on, but the pedal is too near to the brakepedal what makes it stupid, gotta bend the pedal a bit out of the way from the brake.

on my A31 the driver sits on right side, don't know maybe there's a difference that the stuff i got didn't fit...

Hey M8, Just cut the Auto brake pedal on the left side to make it the right width and put a pk screw through the pedal rubber to hold it on looks dk and works perfectly. Jamind, A31 SE4

[o0o]

i already cut the brakepedal and its rubberthing down^^

i also bend the clutchpedal straight that its not that bad close to the brakepedal and looks natural

all this is just for a 32 gtr clutchpedal! other models are different...

btw r32 gtr clutchpedal got a booster too, it won't fit right in it needs modification for that, i just used a r32 gtst clutchmaster cylinder it fit right in(a31 clutchmaster is the same)

if somebody want pictures tell me...

so my non turbo cefiro rear brakes matched up to be same as the,

Bendix Part Number:

DB1144 - REAR

does this mean;

-rb20e

-rb20de

-rb20det

-rb25de

modeled cefiro's all come with rear turbo brakes?

just to add my front non turbo brakes were slightly bigger then sr20de front caliper, but smaller then the sr20det caliper

nope not all, 90% of all cefiros here in thailand are rb20e some of the first ones and they don't got calipers in the back^^

newer ceffys with hicas came with the calipers in the back(this is what i've heard, donno if its true )

[Nic_A31]

You'd prob be right about Thailand, Asia (ex. Japan), South American, etc Cefiro's (all LHD).

What about the LATE late model ones. LHD Laurels and Cefiro's were made and sold up to 1997, and sometime between 94-97 they came factory with 5 stud.

My understanding was all Cefiro's, from 20E to 25DE came with the same brakes front and back, which are very similar to SR20 brakes but not interchangeable.

I've offered my whole brake setup for free to couple of Sil owners and they rejected, claiming it's different to SR brakes...

Beats me. Skyline brake upgrade FTW.

now who can confirm that S3(round plug loom) or maybe S2 ceffy round plug coil packs are stamped in white "185" or "135" ?

[Dan_J]

reason i ask is that i swaped what i now believe are s2/3 round plug coil packs for the spare set of r32 rb20 i had laying around into my engine.

now i started to get the missfire above 4-6k where as my original ones did not missfire even tho the r32 ones looked in better condition and even had 'coils' on the end of them unlike my cefiro ones which where burnt out

so ceffy coils stamped 185 / 135 / 1xx

and r32 coil 3xx

?

hey just wondering what central locking actuators will fit in my c33 laurel. all of mine are stuffed.

[Dan_J]

was it like that when u got it? could be the central locking unit or the brake light relay somehow.... something in the boot, have a look around

[abd31]

1989 A31 cefiro. What other vehicle glass will fit the passenger front window. I am having a terrible time finding ceffy glass

cheers guys

[DannyC33]

was it like that when u got it? could be the central locking unit or the brake light relay somehow.... something in the boot, have a look around

Hey Dan.

yeah the central locking has never worked.. the drivers side rear door will do the auto lock thing at above 20kph and will lock when i lock the drivers door. but wont unlock and no other door will lock or unlock.

brake light relay you say?? how so?

also ive noticed lately that while im driving around there is a clickin coming from the passenger side door, not sure if front or rear.

but basically its the same clickin that happens if i press the door lock button on the drivers door handle.

[Dan_J]

well awhile ago i swapped my brake light relay unit with another similar looking unit i had laying around( which i found out to be a r33 relay of some kind ) which made my central locking not work at all.

so just swap the long black brake light relay thats mounted on your boot wall with your c33 mate

[Ppl8ceffy]

hey, ive got a rb20e cefiro, looking to replace the diff, what is the best easy swap? 180sx? i have a r33 diff but need r33 axels and still not sure if the tail shaft matches.. cheers

[Nic_A31]

The tailshaft just depends on if its ABS or non ABS.

R33 diffs can fit. The 5 bolt axles are a direct fit into the existing hubs.

Most Cefiro's have a 4.36:1 ratio, so S13, diffs are the go.

If you want to use another ratio, you'll need to get the speedo drive from the same vehicle and chuck that into your box, so your speedo stays in sync.

[Dan_J]

i have a non abs r33 diff in my non abs ceffy,you need the 5 bolt rear half shafts the r33 rubber front mounts and the rear diff cover off a a31/s13/r32 r200(lsd/vlsd) diff

[DannyC33]

hey dan.

another question about the central lockin in the laurel..

i was at a local wrecker the other day and found a ceffy. its mostly gone but the lock acuators were still there so i grabbed em.

went to put them in but they are way different.

so i decided to see if i could figure out why mine dont work.

and it seems that its the acuators them selves that are f**ked as wen i plugged in the ceffy one it would work.

so i took them out and the arm that goes on the gear to the motor was really loose. pulled them apart and couldnt figure out how they are ment to work. ended up figuring out that they use a spring.

anyways..

question. is it possible to fix them. if not do you know of any replacement for them?

[Dan_J]

cant say i know too much about the central locking actuators them self so i camt help there, although like any car u can get generic/brand name central locking kits with the actuators.

the only stuffing around is finding the right type that will mount with some mods and making sure it'll wire into the factory wiring and relay well.

not much help but i guess have a chat with a car security/alarm installer

[DannyC33]

yeah. hopefully i wont have to go down that path. bein doin a bit of research and it looks as tho r32/33 skyline actuators are the same/similar.

and from what i found when i was pullin mine out. they are universal fit.

ie the 1 actuator will fit every door as you can just flip it/turn it to suit what ever orientation is required.

fingers crossed. ill post up in the parts section if i get them to work
