good one numbnuts, that's thailand. Been posted here a few times :D 1JZ and 2JZ conversions are common as fcuk there, and they're very powerful. It costs a lot more to do an RB swap than it does to do a 1JZ swap, so when you have lemons, you make lemonade... or 1JZade. Most of the thai guys are active members on cefiro-thailand forums.

yeah, what the fark is wrong with a 1J conversion in a cefiro? i reckon it looked alright.

also the sitcker on the back that says: CEFIRO THAILAND is a hint that the country of origin is not in fact 'arab land'...

lol quick with the flamage on Hella Flush there guys...... :D

I'm sure it was a honest mistake!

Neways, I am also a fan of the 1-2JZ engine in Cefiro but easier and cheaper options in Oz land

Ando

hate wagon begins...

didnt even read or look at stickers - saw one ugly one with 1jz and massive tursbo... and one clean rb26... will correct topic title to satisfy

cant edit topic title... if you want since you took offence to it monkey - convert arab land to thai land...

Edited by Hella Flush

haha I didn't take offense... I call every one numbnuts when they goof up. Topic title corrected.

Although calling a cef ugly just because it has a 1JZ is a bit uncalled for. Consider that cefs in thailand don't come with RB20DE, RB20DET or RB25DE engines.

The best engine they get is the RB20E, which is an SOHC 2.0L RB (sorta like a 2.0L version of the Aussie RB30E engine out of the VL and R31). Next best was the RB24S which is a 2.4L 6 cylinder carby engine.

We have under 40 cefiro's here in the whole of the UK. All were imported from Japan and most are the RB20E engine with automatic box's. 2JZ into a cefiro. You folks in Aus and Malasia are just on another level to most of the tuners here in the UK.

Most tuners in the UK wouldn't know where to start, there are a few acceptions (WMS, Mayer etc) However a lot of people would just dismiss it as something that "can't be done"

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
