no offence to the malays..

but i doubt there would be THAT much custom work...

they Msians don't seem too concerned with that sort of crap... especially on such an "old car"

chances are the dash is put in there - but there would be no working aircon, no functioning speedo / odo other dials.. no driving / fog lights, etc etc..

putting an R33 dash into A31 would be easy. 3M tape... few screws here n there - easy..

...getting dash looms, electrics and switches to WORK and communicate from a mid 90's skyline platform to a late 80's platform would be another thing all together i imagine...

one of the nicer dash conversions would be the A31 that ironchef is trying to sell at the moment.. it's a C33 dash with flock trim.. analog clock and digital climate control.

nic personally i think that you should buy it btw - i reckon you'd love it - your love for cefiro should not be stamped out just yet!!!!

no offense and not offended at all bro..

i fitted r33 dash on my a31 as well.. a lot of cutting here n there needed to be done especially near the firewall.. air-con? no problem at all.. everything fits perfectly..

the main reason i fit in the dash is the ease of wiring it.. all i have to is take out all of the old a31 wiring and fit in the new r33 wiring.. dash is working perfectly except for fuel gauge as it doesnt reads the real fuel capacity due to different shape of tanks between the 2 models..

but the gaps.. fuhhh.. a lot... especially on the side and nothing much can be done with it.. the dash also sits too low in a31 because the build of r33's firewall is a lot more higher than a31..

hahah..thats my friends car in the pic...guys...here in malaysia....r32 and r33 dash is a common fit and replacement to a31 cefiro...just a lot to be count....and just to let you all know....all the dash console, aircond climate controll, even aircond vent system is working nice here....even here in malaysia cefiro owners already fit in jzx90 dash...hahah..i will snap a pic when going for a cefiro malaysia a31 gathering every saturday...

but fitting this dashboard will have some gap issue that mostly notice at doorside but not that mush...only an inch and usually they go with fibrework to fill the gap...and wallah!!

but hahahahah.....there is one more dash that can fit 100% like OEM a31 dash..the lining is perfect and match with the doors lining...but you guys have to wait...it a surprise!!

      Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.

      Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
