Hope someone might be able to help me.  

So I have an A31 Cefiro (stock RB20DET) and bought a new coilpack harness that allows me to ditch the igniter by using different coilpacks with built igniters.  The problem that I've run into is that apparently I have a Series 1 Cefiro which annoyingly uses different plugs than R32 RB20DET. 

My question is, does the wiring on the A31 plug correspond with the R32 plug?  One minute with the razor altering the new harness plug and it will plug in, but I wasn't sure if the existing wiring would fire everything correctly.  I'm in the US so finding an R32 plug to swap my igniter harness plug to is a tricky proposition.

Any help is appreciated.

GTSBoy, if you look at that link it says that harness applies to late RB20DET models.  My car is a 1990, so was most likely built early enough to use the older plugs/igniter.

Hcr32typem , I had though of going that route and swapping connectors to later model ones but couldn't find if wiring matched up to later cars or not.

Having spoken to an Australian expert harness guy and sending photos back and forth and he tells me I have a igniter shared with the Z32 and he has the correct plugs so hopefully everything should be sorted because I'm going to have him make me a harness.

I swapped my ignitor out for a Z32 ignitor in my Skyline. Required repinning the harness' on both ends, or more accurately swapping the connectors side to side from the stock RB wiring. I'm sort of surprised the RB in the Cefiro is that different unless it's closer to the very early RB20 "redtops" from the R31 Skylines.

Hcr32typem, I always assumed that the wiring on Cefiros was the same as Skylines, so imagine my surprise when the plug turned out to be completely different.  Apparently from what I can determine, Series 1 Cefiros basically have silver top RB20s with redtop wiring.  Series 2+ are the same as a Skyline.  Makes no sense, but that's the hand you're dealt sometimes.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
