OK guys, CEFFY HUDDLE!

5 stud hubs - WHERE CAN I BUY THESE ?

I'm hesitant to buy the JJRs from JustJap because of their amazingly low price....but I can't find any others around.

Suggestions please??

Today I cut up my stock Ceffy airbox to hold a pod, shield heat away from it and draw in cold air. WA laws are that pod filters need to be secured to the body via two different points.

Basically, the pod bolts inside the box (other side of the AFM), hence why half of its cut out....and half of the top is also cut out to accommodate it...so it has the snorkel directing cold air in from the top, as well as 2 flex pipes coming up into the bottom of the air box, which are drawing are from below the front bumper.

Now its time for a new K&N M'S....that exhaust leak a few months back killed it for good...I've dispensed an entire K&N recharge kit on it and it's still clogged really badly :(

Pics to come.

Other progress is coming along good.

I connected a charged battery back up to it last night, wound the windows down so I can take them all out, and send them off with the new quarter panels to be tinted (legal) and so I can get in and sand/prime/paint the insides of the doors and shit.

Dash has come back, cut up in a few places from the dashmat maker dudes so I'm looking for a new dash. Re-colored all the solid interior, still getting through respraying all the seats and door trims...but looking better already :cool:

Next step is to get 5 studs and brake fitment happening and then get it rolling on some black 17" Drifteks, get a 3" turbo back made up (painted black, for stealth spec), bring it back, re-sand and re-prime it (it was fine when I got it but months out in the weather + months in the shed collecting dust and other nasty shit, I'd rather do it again), paint it, tidy up the trim and engine bay and, all done....the light is getting a little brighter now, finally :)

Dude, use the other forums... Look on nissansilvia.com, that will be the place to start.... or even a Japanese parts trader that will post to your door.

Ive seen a few on ImportMonster, its just buying unknown brands I'm hesitant on doing.

I'd much rather fork out extra dollars now than extra extra dollars later when a shitty china spec stud snaps and the other 4 go with it while driving along...

I'll hit up N'S.

Cheers dude.

Just an update on this...I'm currently doing some research, and pretty sure I'm going to ditch this heavy-ass RB20DET and go for a VQ30DET (possibly DET+T)... depending on how many legal hoops I have to jump through and weather or not IM240 emissions testing returns any time soon.

Been tidying up the car a bit the last few weeks, no major progress..just waiting for more money to throw at it (hence the silly idea I've got in my head in the mean time).

Will keep you all posted :)

yeah it'd be a good idea to sand and re-prime everything you've primed (acrylic?) primer is pourus so being in the rain etc = bad (i'm a spray painter by trade) , most 2k primers are ok though , actually if you can , use 2k primer . what ever you do , don't paint it matt/satin/chassis black , it will make painting it properly twice the work (that stuff isn't nice to face/rub) . as for the 5 stud , i'm using the jj front hubs and they seem to work fine (i've only done about 1000k's on them but 2 drift days of hitting ripple strips on full lock with modded knuckles they still seem fine ) . No love for the rb? :) imo you should aim higher for an engine transplant , google search vh41 :D or the vk series :thumbsup:

You think a VK will fit?

I've seen a VH fitted in a ceffy (with no bonnet)...but theyre smaller and heavier...the VKs are a bit bigger but alot lighter...would be keen to measure one up and see if it'd fit for a track car.

The primer that's on now is 2 pak..but its copped it bad being outdoors for soo long...and I've been using the bonnet as a workbench, so I've sanded that down a few times and its uneven, even down to the metal in some spots...I'll even the primer down as much as I can, but when it comes to paint time, I'll get them to redo the primer if need be...paint is another thing I'll be paying alot of attention to.

What about the stuff I have painted already?

I've done underside and inside the wheel wells in chassis black...engine bay in acrylic chip resistant black..and with inside the doors and shit..I sanded it down, 2 coats of acrylic primer...3 coats of black, 2 coats of clear coat (but it still chips really easy...so I might sand that back as well and just fork out more $$ for 2 pak when I get the whole car done) ... reckon I can get away with that? or sand it down and go the whole 9 ?

We did get them in Maximas, but they put them in sideways, so it doesn't count.

I'm sure a VH would fit. VH45 in S14 and VH45 in S13. A31 has more space under the bonnet than an S13.

VK MIGHT fit. I wouldn't want to be the one to find out that it doesn't.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
