Hey guys....

I am in need of some help, my A31 ceffy has had no tail pipe for some while now as its just been sitting around in the garage,

This is mainly due to the hangers not being there.

There is nothing existing there at the moment for me to hold up the tail pipe so i was just after some ideas from ur own cefiro's.

I have a 3'' pipe with a single canon which i may get rid of and change it to dual straight pipes similar to the Dart Izumi style.

If any of u has pics or can be bothered to crawl under there and take a pic for me that would be greatly appreciated.

Also do 1 piece aftermarket R32Gtst or R33 dump+front pipes bolt up without any trouble?

Thanks guys for any information that can be shared with me.

Skyline exhausts don't fit because they are shorter wheelbase than the cefiros/laurels.

Mine has a bracket right behind the rear bumper for the exhaust hanger. I'd suggest get rid of the cannon and get the pipes on.

what about 4 door lines? 32 or 33?

actually now that I think about it, since cefiro's share 50% of parts with R31's under the bonnet, maybe their exhausts might be similar too?

4 door skylines have the same wheelbase as 2 doors. A31/C33 have a longer wheelbase (hence why you can't use skyline tailshafts).

Could try an R31? Would have to see what their exhausts look like.

A31/C33 catbacks are pretty straight, they only have 1 30deg set in them. (Not like skyline/silvia exhausts have multiple 90deg bends)

What about just the section between the turbo and the cat?? (the dump and front pipe)

is that part roughly similar to R32 or 33?

From cat back i will get custom made as it has only 1 slight bend and is fairly easy to make by the looks of it, just want to know if the dump and front pipe will fit up alright.

Thanks Daisu for info on the hanger.... you wouldnt happen to have any pics of it?

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
