Hi all. I'm interested in building a a31 for daily. I'm thinking of using a Rb25det with gearbox.

What I'm not sure about is what diff should I upgrade the rear with, and the braking system.

I'm really excited about using some r33 wheels. So ill need to convert to 5 hole

I used the R32 diff, bolts right up, hand brakes, brake lines etc were easy to work back. the only real work was on the driveshaft, one of the ends needed to be removed from the a31 shaft and replaced with the r32 end as the size was different, that was because i went from auto to manual. also when using the a31 shaft (2nd half) to switch the end with the r32, maintain the same length don't shorten it

hope this helps

what i did with my conversion is that i bought a r32 front cut and moved over everything except the shocks and spring as that set up is different to the cefiro. steering rack & lines, all AC parts front cross member, lower control arms etc. most of it fitted with very little mods if any at all. like the brake lines needed to change (just the ends) as they were sligtly different. the ac lines run a little different to the front but any they work back. like i said for the most part it is bolt for bolt but there are some exceptions but these are easy to adjust. the brakes and cluth pedals also work back. the most trouble some part of the build was to make up the brackets to hold the handbrakes and fit the r32 center consol (to work the handbrakes) also i changed the instrument pannel that 2 was trial and error cutting till it fitted. the other set of work is the geabox bracket needs to be modified. what i did was i had and extra engine bracket. the holes line up exact with the gearbox holes, so it was just a matter of cutting and welding them on to the gearbox bracket. So far its going good no issues. i have lots of pics with the build so i would try to put them up or a link to them. good luck

      I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real

      Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.

      No clips on this one like the other connector. Only that red tab that I can push slightly up.

      For any loom connector that has an obvious release that resists pushing far enough to unclip, just spray some silicone lube into it. You might also benefit from using a bent screwdriver or small pick to push in the right place at the right angle.

      R34 GT Indicator not Cancelling

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey all, I went to try and fix my indicator not canceling, but I couldn't remove the clockspring cable under the column so I could twist that green thin. Anyone know how to remove this cable? I see this red tab but didn't have any luck. I was thinking of unscrewing it but wasn't sure if it would cause issues. I did notice for my indicator stalk, 2 out of 3 cables were plugged in but the last cable wouldn't fit in the stalk. I'm getting it's for fog lights. It was like this when I originally pulled it off.
