hey guys, my names riyad and im from across the ditch looking for some help !

been on here for quite a while and have learned quite a fair bit and that everyone on heres pretty friendly.

now to what i need help on, im dropping an RB20det out of a R32 gtst into my cefiro what i basically need to know what to look out for ? whats gonna be a pain for me to do etc ?

also if someone could tell me whether the RB20de starter motor will work with the det motor ?

At present ive only started to disassemble the wiring, fuel lines and all the other crap from the engine.

Sorry if ive asked dum questions as in still only 17 and studying automotive engineering atm so i dont know everything, but i have to learn the hard way thats why im doing it myself (and with the help of a few mates of course )

any help will be appreciated guys and i definitely wil have more questions to come your way.

cheers riyad.

Yes but the sensors still differ between early and mid model A31, and R32 GTST.

i believe late model Cefiro's have same wiring harness plugs and AFM as R32.

My Ceffy was turned turbo, they used the 20DE loom and everything on it, even the air flow meter, and just swaped in the bare motor...when I got an R32 AFM it didn't fit the Cefiro plug.

sweet so my starter motor will work ? even tho mines a factory manual cefiro ?

Yeah ive been told that the harness is quite similar thanks alot dude.

One more thing im after a nine bolt flywheel, ive been told the the RB30e one will work but is slightly bigger ? if true will a 9.5"/240mm clutch work with this and clear my gearbox ? what other options do i have as ive been told the RB20DE clutches are not worth it in the long run.

Cheers

Try d1nz.com forums they have a full rite up on doing the conversion it helped me out good and proper when i did my conversion,

I think i used a rb30 flywheel and its been sweet as using excedy clutch, dont bother using de clutch as ive just heard clutches r crap n dont last

^^ as above the D1NZ guide is perfect for someone doing it first time, are you getting an engine loom with the engine ? if so it will plug straight into the body loom of the car, you only need to change a few wires under the fuse box.

hey guys, thanks for all the help its helped me get through the conversion pretty sweet. just a few more questions now. you guys that are running thick alloy rads, do you have any issues with the engine fan, as i trial fitted mine today and had about 3-4mm clearance between the 2 items. So i now im thinking i might need to run a electric fan to over come this problem... any thoughts ? also im going to be running a R32 front mount intercooler kit, i have a fair idea about where the holes need to be made for the piping but i would just like to reassure myself and if someone has pics it would be great.

any help would be appreciated, thanks alot guys.

are you thinking of R32 GTR's that run a ballast resistor ? because RB20 powered GTST's do not have it. nor do cefiro spec'd RB20's

yea I see the GTR one is different but Im just trying to figure out what the silver doofa is on a R32 L/H strut tower, Im thinking some sort of fuel control

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
