Hope someone might be able to help me.  

So I have an A31 Cefiro (stock RB20DET) and bought a new coilpack harness that allows me to ditch the igniter by using different coilpacks with built igniters.  The problem that I've run into is that apparently I have a Series 1 Cefiro which annoyingly uses different plugs than R32 RB20DET. 

My question is, does the wiring on the A31 plug correspond with the R32 plug?  One minute with the razor altering the new harness plug and it will plug in, but I wasn't sure if the existing wiring would fire everything correctly.  I'm in the US so finding an R32 plug to swap my igniter harness plug to is a tricky proposition.

Any help is appreciated.

GTSBoy, if you look at that link it says that harness applies to late RB20DET models.  My car is a 1990, so was most likely built early enough to use the older plugs/igniter.

Hcr32typem , I had though of going that route and swapping connectors to later model ones but couldn't find if wiring matched up to later cars or not.

Having spoken to an Australian expert harness guy and sending photos back and forth and he tells me I have a igniter shared with the Z32 and he has the correct plugs so hopefully everything should be sorted because I'm going to have him make me a harness.

I swapped my ignitor out for a Z32 ignitor in my Skyline. Required repinning the harness' on both ends, or more accurately swapping the connectors side to side from the stock RB wiring. I'm sort of surprised the RB in the Cefiro is that different unless it's closer to the very early RB20 "redtops" from the R31 Skylines.

Hcr32typem, I always assumed that the wiring on Cefiros was the same as Skylines, so imagine my surprise when the plug turned out to be completely different.  Apparently from what I can determine, Series 1 Cefiros basically have silver top RB20s with redtop wiring.  Series 2+ are the same as a Skyline.  Makes no sense, but that's the hand you're dealt sometimes.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
