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

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
