Hey i've got a cefiro coming over from japan soon, problem is, it has been converted to an sr20det.

Can anybody suggest anywhere i can get it engineered in melbourne? Or if I can just get it registered without having to engineer the conversion? since Cefiro's were never made here anyway..

Thanks alot, Bryan

If it's been done in Japan you won't have a problem registering it as it gets a form of engineering when it's complianced (hence the engine number and suc h will be the one it gets complianced and RWC'ed with).

You MAY have a problem on the road however without getting it "engineered" (i.e. as part of your rego conditions) for defects. But I wouldn't really worry about this too much as cops won't know what a cefiro did and didn't have.

This is what we originally thought. But the compliance workshop J-Spec referred us to (Duc Do in melb i think it was?) said their engineer won't do it? So it should just go through the normal compliance process, with the engine number on the SR instead of the RB going on the compliance cert?

Thanks alot, Bryan

Well if they won't do it then they won't do it.

I suppose it's up to you if you want to find another compliance workshop or not.

My question is this - if they won't do it, how do they propose to get it complianced without an engine? I don't understand.

There are a few people who have had sr20 converted cefiros from JP perhaps one of them is in Vic and can tell you where they did it.

Good luck.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
