hey all

im currentlly able to pick up a complete r33 rear end including subframe, axle's and diff which im hoping to use in my cefiro.

now im wondering if anyone was experience with this or now if its beneficial/possible to use the r33 subframe for increased track?

and are the r33 5 stub axle's/half shafts able to bolt up to the standard 4 stud cefiro hubs?

cheeeeers!

Sorry to bring back the old thread

but is it possible to use the r33 rear hubs/knuckle along with the axles and diff?

While still being able to use all my adjustable s13 spec arms?

I was going to stay 4 stud but wanting to go 5 stud now.

Cheers

Rear sub frame is different to r33, use the back off your ceff/r32 diff and the front bolts off the 33 diff to put the 33 diff in, the rest fits . Beware of abs and non abs diffs as they are different and your tail shaft won't fit if you try to cross between the two

I've got the diff centre pretty well sorted, I have the bolts with the bushes for the forward mount and will swap the diff cover with my r180 when I pull it out.

Tail shaft flange fit's perfectly too.

It's a non abs rear end I have sitting here too btw

I'm just in a pickle with the axles and hubs.

Basically can I use r33 rear hubs/knuckles for 5 stud conversion?

Will my adjustable s13 arms bolt up to the knuckle's all the same?

Does the R33 diff still line up?

Cos they have bushes around the 2 bolts at the front (tailshaft end)....

yep , you need the rubber bushes and bolts to suit though :) .

all the r33 stuff bolts straight on mate , like it belongs there :thumbsup: , i converted my rear using all r33 stuff (bolting it to the ceff hubs)

Sorry to go off topic here but I saw in one of the first posts that the handbrake cables will fit 33 hubs?

Is that the stock cable or do you's mean a 33handbrake cable works? I converted my 4stud with dr rears to s14 all round, but now have no handbrake cables :(

Alright awesome.

How do I go about removing the hub end of the axle?

I cant get to The four bolts holding it to the hub with a socket or ring spanner?!?

Cheeeers

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
