not sure of the exact model my A31 is but its one down from the turbo one, its a 1991 facelift 1, RB20DE with LSD and HICAS,

Im wanting to change this to RB20DET, will this conversion require me to upgrade the brakes, even though mine are the same as the turbo version?

depends where you're from man

i want to say no but i'm not your government...

i didn't change the brakes myself when i converted... i probably should have but i didn't.. not cos it doesn't slow down i just ... wouldn't have minded bigger brakes haha - i'm from WA

i don't imagine you would need bigger brakes though

Dan_J is having this problem.

Nissan part numbers claim that the Ceffy brakes are ALL the same, turbo, non turbo, etc...which are variant to the SR20DET brakes.

Dorigecko has a registered RB25DET Cefiro, with stock Ceffy brakes, because they're "turbo model brakes" the engineer signed it off.

Personally, I think the stock single pot brakes suck the biggest, gayest balls imaginable....4 piston brakes for the win.....no really...they pull up WAY better. They'll be more lenient when it comes to registration if they can see you've gone the extra distance with brakes.

Not only is it registered, but it's passed pits with the standard brakes. Three times. Mine pull up just fine EVEN WITH MY FOUR STUDS OF AWESOME.

Ehem. The only problem I see is that the rear discs are a pain in the balls, because no other car that I've found uses the same discs as the ceffy. Definately not S13 because it's drum in disc on ceffy, hydro/mech clamp for the silvias and skylines.

A brake upgrade is always a good thing, so I say do it aswell. If I had the money to spare, I definitely would too. FFS Nic is doing it on his RB20E ceffy. The only way he's gonna get to use them properly is if he stings it at 180km/h in a school zone with a 10km run up, and needs to stop in 100m because of an 84 year old who looks way too much like a 6 year old child.

And when is that going to happen Nic? When, I ask you?

If their anything like the guys in Darwin just use the jedi mind control, like i did when I got my car registered.

First question 'Whats a CEFINO??'

Second mind blowing statement.

You can't have that!!! -----> points to HICAS under car.

Its HICAS four wheel steer FROM factory (wave hand in front of face) - Inspector ; Ah Ok.

I dought (IMO) that they will realise you have change from 2 pot to 4 pot brakes. Even going 4 stud to 5 stud (correct me if I'm wrong here) Well they wouldn't here as they didn't notice my brake upgrade.

PURE GOLD :blink:

all non turbo ceffy's come with 250mm wide by 22mm thick front rotors similar to the non turbo s13 sr20de

turbo ceffys came with 280mm by 22

if anything upgrade your's to sr20det s13 brakes for cheap

cheers for the comments guys, Im in qld, doing a brake upgrade is on the cards, depending on weather or not I buy a complete donor car for the conversion, if so i'll go the 5 stud route like I have in the past,

at the moment theres a complete motor/box there if I want it, I may get it if I can get away with the stock brakes,

the fact is the RB20DE is mind numbingly slow, before that I had a 20E one in NZ and that was just awful

toffy, is that the r32 ones? They'd need to be redrilled for 4 stud wouldn't they? I tried with S13 rears without knowing that they were different. Was like.... Where are the vents man. What did these people do with them... But yeah. COMPLETELY different. If you can do 5-stud, go for it. be heaps easier for parts as 32 GTS-T or S13 SR is alot easier to find.

at the moment my rear discs are... well below what they should be. skimmed to within an inch of their life. not happy-making i tell you!

  • 2 years later...

Hey Ive got an s13. The front hubs discs and calipers are from a part cefiro a mate had a few years ago. I need new dics (these are scalloped now) but cant remember what they were off so dont know what I need to get

are the A31 Facelift / non facelift / 20de and 25de the same discs, or does each have a different setup ?

They are on the car so I cant measure right now, but they were much larger than the original s13 ones I had.

Need to get fresh discs so I can get the rb20det certed.

4 Stud.

Strap for cash so please dont go off topic about 5 studs or re drilling etc etc

cheers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
