just for general knowledge my power steering pump was leaking and i had an extra pump from the ca18det engine, i got it to work, all you need to do is change the brackets, that is, use back you brackets from the rb 20 pump. the pump works fine no problems. by the way its the stock rb20e engine in the cefiro, not sure if it would work with othe rb engines

thought i should post this here also for reference:

Ok i think i have figured the Transmission Mount formula, with the knowledge i have put together from two AT to MT R32 swaps, one AT to MT S13 swap, and one MT RB to MT SR mission swap.

ok heres what we have to start....

TOP: S13 SR mount for a factory MT car

MIDDLE: RB MT Mount for a car that is factory MT (not converted)

BOTTOM: SR custom MT mount made for a Cefiro that came factory with a AT

note: these are all facing the correct way

so i have determined....

R32: for a R32 RB20 factory AT to be converted to a MT you need the S13 MT Mount to install (TOP)

A31: Same for a A31 RB20 factory AT to be converted to a MT you need the S13 MT Mount to install (TOP)

A31, R32: For a factory RB20 AT car to be converted to a SR20 MT you will need a custom mount (BOTTOM) and the S13/S14 Engine Mount also.

A31, R32: for a factory RB20 MT car (like mine) to be converted to a SR20 MT you will need the S13 MT mount (TOP) and S13/S14 Engine Mount also. oh and the 130cm S-Car drive shaft (measured from tranny end to diff tip)

Example of the (BOTTOM) custom mount where the (TOP) S13 Mount should be, maybe can get two holes to line up if i didn't have the Uras Urethane-Mount installed...

in think that covers what i know so far...

this is in regard to the z32 calipers on r33 na gts 4 stud discs.

z32 alloy calipers came out for 26 mm thick discs and 30mm discs. there were also z32 steel calipers that were 30mm.

now for this fairly simple upgrade to work u will need the 26mm calipers not the 30 mm ones.

Rear subframe?

They fit, (I have an S13 rear subframe in mine), but the handbrake setup on the hubs is different, requiring either custom handbrake cables or installation of cefiro/skyline hubs. Why anyone would install an S13 rear subframe is beyond me.

Parts for 5stud conversion and r33 gtst brake upgrade

Brake Master Cylinder BM44 off r32 gtst skyline

s14 front hubs and Lower control arms

front r33 gtst calipers and discs

Rear r33 hubs and discs and calipers.

Swap the a31 handbrake cable over in the hubs as the r33 is too long. The handbrake drum setup are exactly the same.

also look at getting new brake lines from the arch to the caliper all round as the r33 ones work but dont hook up to things the same way as the originals so will wear alot more.

and 5 stud wheels

The rear hub uprights (aka hub carrier... the solid cast iron thing which the control/toe arms bolt to) are identical to S13 (and I would assume R32).

You may be thinking what use would that have, well I had enough trouble finding a pair of rear cefiro hubs complete with calipers/discs/handbrake assembly then it turns out that the upright was bent, so then I had to try sourcing an individual cefiro rear left hub upright.

This also means it is possible to do skyline rear brake upgrade to S13 and stay 4 stud (for those people who prefer to remain 4 stud).

im in the uk and very very few cefs here so finding parts is a joke

i have a redtop sr20 in mine so its not a problem but a mate of mine has an rb20det cef and he is struggling to find a bloody alternator belt .. he bought one for an rb20 ( r32 one ) and that was to long .. someone suggested a CA18 one but he not sure ??

any info would be great

thanks very much :blink:

They're different to an R32...

Alternator Belt: 4PK860

Powersteering without Aircon: 4PK925

Powersteering with Aircon: 3PK845

Those are Gates belt codes, you might need to check if other manufacturers use the same code.

Just checked... Optibelt's Alternator Belt code is 4PK858, Goodyear's is 4PK0863, Dayco's (Pirelli) is 4PK862, and Quinton Hazell's is QBR4863.

Enjoy

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
