hello everyone... kinda nearing the end of my mini project cefiro... its gonna be a daily driver so mods are simple and aimed more towards comfort then track/drift warrior... well here goes...

I personally imported this ceffy in october last year. bought for notmuch more then a box of coronas with the rb20 single cam intact, the main thing that drew me to this car was thestructural condition ofthe car.. it was in mint condition with full log books, etc... also the fact that it had no hicas made me transfer the money and before long my friend had done the FOB and dereg required in japan...

while the importation process was underway, i sourced a s15 silvia front cut to do the sr20 conversion... one thing is for sure.. this is truly a bolt on affair... once both front cut and car landed... we got to work straight away... the old RB came out... along with gearbox, etc etc... the s15 halfcut was stripped and all parts put aside... whilethe engine was out, i added a stainless manifold with the stock turbo...

as most of you may know already, the s15 crossmember is a bolt on.. i dropped the engine and gearbox in together and while i was under the car found out that the gearbox crossmember also bolted on... no modification required.... damn.. dontyou just love it when thing just happen??... anyways an s15 radiator was used and a stock s15 dump with a 3 inch front will have to do for the moment. I used a gtr cooler and had to make custom piping from the turbo to the hotpipe in 3 inch... for the "cold" side, i used a hks pipe...

the stock cefiro interior was comfortable butthe seats looked huge and kinda sofa-like... so i sourced a complete r32 gtr interior including front and rear seats... they all bolt on except for the back, there is a bit of a gap about 2 cm each side where the seats meet the door... small priceto pay though... comfortable as interior... also a nardi steering wheel was thrown in for good measure as were tomei exhaust temp and water temp gauges

thewiring i will have to get done as soon as the guy (slidewayz, i think he is called) is free... well... thats my story in short... list of mods is below...

stainless steel manifold

Trust Profec e0-1 boost controller

Trust oil cooler with filter relocation

stock dump with 3" frontpipe rest of the exhaust will be custom 3" and an apexi muffler

GTR front mount with custom piping on the "hot" side and HKS pipe on the "cold" side

Tomei Exhaust and water remp gauges

GTR front and rear seats

Nardi steering wheel

Trust Type R bov

for the moment this is all i can remember and dont think i have missed anything though... main priority is to get the car on the road now...

any more updates and ill keep editing this post...

cheers ... some shit fotos from my fone will be included later as i couldnt be bothered to take some high res fotos and post them up at the moment.. :whistling:

cheers

oh man this is the news i have been wanting to hear for sooooooo long!!!

my car is auto and i wanted to go an s14 front cut, cos i heard the 6 speeds dont last that long (im sure that's heresay, from someone no doubt thrashing their cars)

but mannnnnnnnnnnnn thanks so much for the info!!!

no problemo dude.. the rear seats arent too wide.. in fact i meant they are a little too short so theres a gap there... thats all... :O and for people wanting to do an sr20 swap.. i have a s15 halfcut coming in.. its fully dressed so pm me offers for parts if you need.. :devil:

cheers

MAD!

can i just ask... you said the rear seats are that touch to wide. Does that mean it's hard to close the doors or anything like that?

If i get a cef I'd like to do the same thing with the interior so was just curios.

Cheers,

Dave.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
