Hey all

i took my ceffy over the pits the other day and I've failed for a fair few things. It's got an sr20 conversion which is all approved and ok but iv got alot of suspension mods iv bought the car as is and I got the lickie on the way home from picking it up.

Now my question what suspension pieces should I use for a replacement of my coilovers, I have a few adjustable arms such as toe and camber and all the rEst like that. Now I have 5 stud conversion using r32 stuff but I don't no what will fit. Can anyone help?

I bought some standard Cefiro suspension over Ebay when I got done about 2 years ago now...

Anyway, fronts were good.. still using them now (after second defect :D) but the shocks in the rears were gone. Anyway, I decided to go with R32, borrowed from a mate, and they worked fine. Been over with them in twice now.

However, the fronts from a 32 wont work because they have 2 bolts not 3, so S13 is the way to go if you cant source any A31 parts.

Hope it helps a little..

Good luck :P

for your brake conversion, the easiest way is to re drill the r32 discs to four stud, and all will fit, you can use the the rear brake hoses of the r32, and use the cef ones for the front but you will need to shorten the banjo bolts, If you want to go 5 stud, the s14 hubs are needed, but you need to fit r32 lower arms to match the ball joint, the 2 s14 hub to strut connecting bolts are slightly larger and the strut holes need to be enlarged slightly, an easier option is to buy 5 stud hub adapters for the fronts

she already has had a five stud conversion done using all r32 to gear

So s13 front struts fit? do s13 castor rods fit to? iv got my r32 at home I can borrow parts off but only temporarly as in trying to sell it. Cheers for the help

put simply all s13 suspension parts will fit ,castor brackets will not fit but castor rod will

r32 gtst rear stuff will all fit cept for lower control arms as they have a different coupling at the ball joint which needs u be grinded and bashed off( but seeing that u have r32 5 stud they will bolt up), unsure on hicas but is similar.

front r32 gtst the sway bar shud be the only thing that fits so castor rods will not fit

although you should be looking here!

has been covered

use S13 struts, but beware it will sit lower than standard.

Camber / traction arms / toe arms use S13.

pretty much use everything s13, but im guessing there would be S14 front lower control arms and hubs in the front, as 32 does not fit, so you will have to redrill the holes in the front struts or get some spacers so the bolts sit properly.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
