I have my S14 front brakes waiting to get their brake lines and hubs before being attached to my A31 and was wondering if anyone had ever used S14 coilovers on their Cefiro.

I believe the bolts should line up with the A31 in the rear and if I use the S14 hubs with matching balljoints pressed in to the stock A31 LCAs the front should bolt up snug without the need for sleeves on the bolts connecting the hubs to the shock-absorber. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If anyone has pics of an A31 with stock S14 shock and springs or S14 coilovers please feel free to post up pics/links, I'll really appreciate it.

Mine was converted to five stud in Japan so I'm not sure on what components i.e hubs were used for the conversion.

I later swapped from s13 front coilovers to s14.

Bolt holes from hub to shock WERE DIFFERENT in diameter! Didn't phase me or my mechanic though, just torqed the bolts up and rolled away with massive camber adjustability.

Im pretty sure the rears will bolt up however looking at pics the S14 and S15 rear sturts look alot (and i mean alot) longer than the S13/'cefiro rear struts so be careful

That's the info I want. Can't seem to find any pics with a side by side comparison. I guess, short of actually going to a scrap yard and putting the two side by side I'll never know until I actually buy them.

Oh well, I'll just try to get some S13 adjustables and sleeves for the bolts running through the hub and shock. The stock S13 shocks have the front pretty low and I'm becoming tired of crossing speed-bumps sideways.

s14 rear struts bolt up pretty much on the parcel shelf wheras s13/r32/cefiro are down much lower in the boot, so 100% DON'T fit sorry mate , alternatively you could sell the rears if you plan on buying a set as they fit s14/15/r33/34 :P

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
