Cefiro Suspension Q

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?

S13 Upper Rear Camber Arm:

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 ;)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
