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.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
