Hi guys.

What power sterring assembly do the cefiros use. Is it R32 or is it S13??? Do u know how much it costs to replace things like the PS pump in a cefiro?? And what rack do they use??

Also if i wanted to swap the engine to a later model R32 RB20DET would i be able to do a direct swap?? So will all the plugs and stuff fit and most importantly would i be able to use the A31 ECU or do i need to change this???

And the same questions for RB25. I assume id have to change the ecu.

Last one. What exhaust is it. S13/R32 or different to both??

Cheers

The powersteering pump appears to be R32 item, because it does pump to the KYB HICAS distributor on the drivers side of the engine bay. I have 2 S13s at home and my Cefiro will be home in a couple of days so I will check then. However my supplier told me my steering pump has been replaced before. If it goes again all the other HICAS crap is being pulled out and a S13 one will go in. If I remember rightly R32 and S13 steering racks are very similar. You could even put in a S15 one if you can find one.

S15 steering racks into ceffies are a common swap, so I'd be fairly certain that the ceffy used the silvia steering (seeing as the suspension setup is similar).

I guess I could use FAST to check for alternate parts, so tell me exactly what you wanna swap and if you can get me a part number and I can tell you which one can donate one... S13 or R32.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
