Cefiro crossmember


Recommended Posts

squizz is correct. but you can also use the cefiro x member. both pretty much the same.

bigbignacha, the rb30 motor is to tall for the hood to close on a 240sx, thus meaning you'll need a custom hood with a ugly hump in the middle so it can close.

u can allso elongate the engine mounts as far as they can go the ones that bolt 2 the block custom inlet mainifold twin cam head and the rb30 should fit .The r32 and cefiro crossmembers r the same and yes they fit straight in to a s13 i have done enough rb conversion 15 in fact so i know how do them .Oh by the way the rb30 block is 1 inch taller than a rb20 or 25

hey,

i am doing the conversion, and just got a few quick questions.

- what radiator did you use?

- when you elongate the mounts do you mean lower them or get them custom made?

- what gearbox mount and exmember did you use for the r33 5 speed.

i am having problems with bonnet shutting, and i am using r32 xmemba and r32 engine mounts.

thanks for your time

depends on what you are after the only reason i would use the cefiro crossmember is if you want to keep the 4 stud slivia brakes but with an rb30 you will need something alot more serrious than standard slivia brakes

as for the crossmember try New Zealand there was a lot of wreaks last time i was there if you have problems finding one contact me and i will see what i can find

in any case it looks like a great project keep us in touch to see if it works

my project is an s13 240sx in the states. i have converted the hatch to a pickup bed just to be a little i know that it sounds ugly but it is starin to look good. As far as the motor i am just starting, i have the rb25det cylinder head and i am going to order an rb30 from a shop in adelaidef for 1500 plus 700 shipping to the east coast in the states. just like everyone else in the states i dont know much about the rb30 except for the fact that it is an extremely rare conversion here but now the shape of my car is rare so i guess it will work. also i was going to do an r33 headlight conversion but i think i want to go with an r32 conversion so if anyone wants r33 headlights in exchange for r32 pm me :P

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
