Asri,

the Ceffy and the S13 share the same suspension so if you go down to the wreckers in Malaysia just lookout for any suspension that will fit the S13 and you can use that on ure car

personally, I would just use Koni / Bilstein shock absorbers instead of Jap brand coilovers because the roads in Malaysia are terrible lol and you will not be comfortable at all

Keep in mind that the spring rates are different between S13's and cefiros............this is not an issue when fitting coilovers but just be sure to get spring that are stiff enough.

I have never been to malaysia, so i have no idea how bad the roads are........would they seriouly be that terrible running coilovers? I love coilovers and will never go back to lowered springs combos again.

Hi Guys

Do you have any part numbers for the koni's or Bilstein that suits the ceffy? I have been trying to source these for a long time. My previous setup was TEIN coilover but the front was leaking & there isn't any place to get it fixed here in Malaysia. Changed my setup to TEIN S-Tech spring (Medium strength) and standard kayaba absorbers. Handling is way too soft and it is beginning to get weak in damping.

With regards to S13 absorber, they are very short in length and the car will sit too low. We have bumps stops as high as 8"-10" inches and non friendly car parks ramps in our malls.

Appreciate all the guru's advice.

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
