Cool thanks guys. Looks like I'll have to have a measure up. I sold a car to a young guy tonight who thinks they have a 33 non hicas rear frame at his work.

Sweetbix. So I can slam an R32 non hicas rear end under an R33? I scored a non nicas from a povo pack r32 a while ago, I was saving it for an A31 I scored for free. But I think the 33 coupe will be a better fit with what i'm wanting to do with the car.

Can any one tell me which other models of the "drift family" nissans will interchange with the rear subframe in an R33? Good ol' Nissan is a lot like lego with the way parts can be chopped and changed. ButI'ma bit new to the finer points when it comes to thingslike that. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, mine is a WGC34. Although advise I've recieved on other forums leans toward the fuel pump being rooted.

Where can I find it? My stagea decided not to start at the supermarket today. I suspect it's not getting any fuel. Where is the fuel pump relay?

I have an RB20E with an auto box. I know it's been given a hard time by the previous owner. Sometimes when it's cold I'll come to a stop and the auto wont disengage, and the motor stalls. Whats up with that?

Ive owned over 30 cars so far, and my A31 is by far the newest. Hence the comfort. As for buying a laurel and a hell expensive motor, that defeats the whole purpose. I have lots of other toys I'd rather invest the big dollars in. It's all about doing stuff on the cheap for me. Any fool can blow a huge wad of cash.

Please don't flame me If I've failed to find this info by searching, but...... Can anyone tell me what the number on the side of an RB20DET gearbox (manual) should be. How about an RB20DE? I need to know what I'm looking at. Cheers.

Thats kind of what I was wondering. I'd rather remove the ecu, and just bridge out the wires nessesary to make it run, and to make the guages function. I'd need to reg down the fuel pressure. (If not change the pump) I'd be starting with an RB20E car, so there's not guite as much gadgetry to delete.

Cheers, I'll take a look at that. I'll have to fix it before the end of summer. It gets farking cold in this part of the world.

Lumpy cams? The Y40 is a single cam pushrod V8, out of an old school president. I wouldn't shag around souping it up. I have other toys for that. Lopey idle's wear thin pretty quick. Plus the Y40 is only a three main crank, so revving them past 6000 is a recipe for broken engines. I just think it would be a nice cruiser.

Because I can get one with a rebuit auto quite cheap. Plus it would make a nice cruiser. 190hp, and no lag. The cool sound of a V8, and the comfort of a ceffy. Plus the rocker covers are aluminium with "NISSAN" cast on them. It'd be something a bit different. And, it would do mean skids!

I'm toying with the idea of repowering an A31 with a nissan Y40 V8. It'd be a fairly straight forward coversion I think. But does anyone have any clues about what would be involved in bypassing the ECU? Do things like the signal for the temperature guage come from the ECU? Your thoughts please.

My ceffy has always had a minor odour of coolant when I first turn the heater on. But lately, the problem has deteriated to a visable trickle. Is it going to be a pain in the ass to get the heater out? Has anyone done it? got any tips?

That Link doesn't actually offer a colour for the car side. Might try the orange with white stripe. I'm not real keen on any dead shorts though.

Hi. I've recently put a stereo in my cef. Since it's seen a few different radios in it's day, the wiring has been a bit used. Does anyone know what colour the trigger wire for the power antena is? When I got it the arial was well busted. Now I've fitted a new one it'd be swell if it went up and down.

I have a rolling shell, but you and I are prolly too far away from one another to do a deal. (See my profile for my location)

That switch makes my park lights come on. If I have the switch on the colomn on high beam (The twist one, not the dipswitch) and press that button, the headlights go onto dip. (No fog lights though) The plugs on the back of the headlights are all good. When I got the car it had suffered a frontal, so I had all that apart when It was on the chasis plant.

Does anyone have a picture of the a31 fusebox decal which is in english? Mine's an import. And aside from the amp rating of the fuses, all the writing is in hiragana. Anyone?

Here's my problem. My headlights don't work when the switch is in the plain old "on" position. But they work in the "auto" position. (when it's dark enough of course) What's the most likely cause of this? All my fuses are sweet. Could it be a fault with the switch? It's a real pain in the arse. When I'm under a street light, they have a bad habit of turning off. Also, how do I turn on the yellow driving lights? Nothing seems to make them work.

Can anyone tell me where exactly the heater valve is located? I REALLY don't want to have to dismantle the whole dashboard just to find the valve. I guess thats the drawback with modern cars, Too many parts.

How do I remove the back seat? I need to get the carpet out so I can carry out some chassis repairs. It feels like somekind of hook. I'd rather ask here than go an damage the holding down thing.

My problem is this, The heater in my cefiro wont blow any warmer than not quite lukewarm. When you slide to temp control down to cold, it blows cold just fine. I pulled the heater control out of my a31 parts car, and I see that the control is all electrical. Does it control the temp by means of a water valve, or by means of a door which governs the amount of air which is allowed to pass through the heater core? Where is this mechanism located? I'm in NZ, and it's bloody cold here this time of year. The heater in my parts car works a treat, but it's much too much work to change the whole heater over. I see there is a wee vent thingee in the heater control panel itself, which apears to have some kind of diode or something in it. Mine could be damaged. Does this have some bearing on tempature control? I can swap the whole control panel over no worries. But Like I said, it's really cold here, and I'm getting too old to drive to work in the morning having to wear gloves. Any advise apreciated. Bart.
