I'm on my way to the UK for a couple of weeks and can get my hands on some cheap 200SX/S13 stuff, and I understand that most of it is meant to be interchangeable with A31. With that in mind, here are a couple of q's for you guys with fully modified suspension setups.....

1 - Does anyone know if the [front] anti-rollbar drop-link bushes from a 200SX S13 will fit the A31 Cefiro? It seems like I'm getting a bit of movement in the link due to worn bushes, and I just found some decent S13 uprated items... Does anyone know if they would/should fit the A31?

2 - I found aluminium subframe bushes listed, and noticed that one of my rubber bushes was well-worn. Has anyone installed any aluminium or polyeurothane items like these listed, and if so - what kind of effect have they had on the handling of the car?

3 - The camber on my car seems to be uneven so I need to adjust the settings, but my suspension is totally stock apart from a set of coilovers. Is an adjustable camber arm the only way to be able to modify the camber or is there another way to fix this?

Note: My cefiro is not for drifting - its an everyday-use fast street-car.

Comments, guidelines and advice about suspension setup please.... Any pics of installations would be welcome too...

1. u should beable to get just the bushes for those endlinks (in polyurethane)............would be cheaper ......

2. for a street car ...maybe use the polyurethane subframe bushes

3. maybe use polyurethane camber kits with off centred crush tubes like they sell at whiteline...as that part with the ball thing which i cant think of it name at themoment is hard to maintain and will wear quickly on a street car.

What he said. If its a street car you want a little give, and you dont want to be rebuilding everything all the time.

Cool - thanks for the replies guys....

I already replaced the drop-links and solved the wobbliness that I was feeling at the front, although I'm still feeling a few bumps and hearing a few clunks from the front....

I lifted the car up a couple of cm all around and I've actually noticed a big difference too... before it was WAY TOO LOW

Still got a bit of a shopping list of S13 parts that I'll be picking up when I go to the UK in a few weeks ;)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
