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.

  • 4 weeks later...

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.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
