From where I come from(East Malaysia), the A31 is the only car that is still readily available.Hardly if not never, heard of the 260RS..hehehe... Furthermore, I know most of you dudes here use the A31 for drifting but I'd like a sleeper with an RB26 and 4WD in it(straight line beast). As for the 4WD system, I think I'd forget about all the wiring hassle and opt for the Veilside or APEXi torque split controller...unsure how much they cost though.

Speaking about cost, I can keep the labour rates low as I deal with many workshops almost everyday who can give me good deals.Furthermore, I do have my own mini workshop at my backyard(my dad's also an enthusiast).

If I see a huge possibility of converting the A31 into an RB26DETT/4WD beast, I'll set aside some $$ for it to happen sometime soon. What's holding me back is the modifications to the chassis that is needed to fit the gearbox/ATTESSA system(wider) as well as the front suspension and front subframe/crossmember to clear the moving parts..

FYI, the A31's price over here stays at around AUD 15k. How much is it over there?

from what ive seen its possible based on the one i seen for sale not long ago... had RB26 engine, box and 4WD system... i just dont know how hard it is to do.

so if u do end up doing it... take lots and lots of pics as u progress and keep us informed ;)

hehe I'm supposed to be in malaysia right now holidayin in KL... anyways... the cefiros in KL are all the RB24S carby versions arent they? I think I saw a few N/A RB20 ones but most of the souped up ones had 1JZ's in them. The Malay ceffies are a bit different to the Jap ones in that the brakes and suspension are a lil different.

An A31 landed and registered in australia can cost anywhere between 12kish for a good clean stock or mildly modified automatic (like the one my dad drives), about 9k for a used and abused drift pig, or a purposely built full tuning house car like inark RB26 ceffy (built by Ken Works as a drift "practice car") will cost you in excess of 16k without compliance and registration which should tip it at about 20k all up.

Mate, you're in KL(West Malaysia)?

Actually there are two types of cefiro's available here, the shitty locally assembled ones and the japanese imports..hence the difference you saw.

Many cefiros in KL are fitted with the 1JZ-GTE engine as they are easy and cheap to get .. and basically straight forward unlike an RB26 where you need to get an RB25 or VG30 box to drive the car.

A friend told me there's an NA31 in KL. He was hanging out at some friend's workshop when he saw a cefiro up the hoist...went underneath it and saw driveshafts at the front.Sadly the car is not for sale...

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
