anyone know if u can use r32 rear discs and calipers on the rear of cefiro? i already have 5 stud rear with re drilled stock discs but have r32 rear brakes sitting here and are much bigger

OK if you run into serious parts problems, book yourself a trip to New Zealand, as thats where the bulk of A31/C33's have ended up. parts are plentiful and cheap and much gets binned just got back with a leather interior, all interior switches and window master, all window moulds, bumper and cornerlamps and a set of coils for $100

before that I was getting ripped from a parts importers in brisbane, $125 for a master window switch!

I will add that I managed to hybrid a drivers window regulator together using the window motor and rope from a J31 Maxima

Is there anyway to buy items from NZ over the net? Like a NZ ebay type thing. I saw a NZ website a while ago, had some awesome deals...

Hi all, this reply-post is an offer:

I have a copy of Nissan FAST working here so if you give me your VIN or Chassis/Model/Year then I can lookup genuine parts and see what else used those parts...

So the offer is, please post your questions here. then I can look it up and repost here... which means the parts thread gets some part numbers.

Limitations: only have up to 2001 version so no newer cars are covered... However, R32, R33, R34, A31, C33 etc are in there so yeah.

easiest to get exact results with the VIN Number in form (for example) WGNC34-004669 (this is my Stagea)

This gives me trim level, engine type, even body colour ... Code... lol

The program has a Parts Master module which if you enter a part number will show what cars that part was used on... I find handy for cross referencing to more common Nissans which are in the book at the local car part place.

oh, PS if you give the NZ Plate number (for NZ users only) then I can use CarJam and lookup the VIN (usually)... so yeah.

Cheers

^^ Carefull with FAST, the part numbers are the same even without compatibility on some parts.

While I'm here.

Cold air box from the 33 fits, bottom end bolts up perfeclty, the bottom is short, you need to make a spacer so it can reach the holes.

Use the box, top half, and bottom, and the snorkel lines up, but you need to drill new holes.

There is also a little battle getting the air flow metre on around the intercooler pipes, but it works :)

Also some parts are not listed or have "no part number available"

But it's handy to lookup and cross reference and get an idea what the assemblies look like (diagrams)

more guidelines then rules... lol

yea mate www.trademe.co.nz (NZ's version of ebay) or www.d1nz.com (in the forum section)

because they are so many of them there, parts for them are worthless and plentiful. the car I raked parts from was a 1993 25se.

I plan on getting more a31/c33 stuff from this wrecker as I used to work there,

just working on a shipment plan

Some things to add:

Fuel tank seal (really big o-ring) = s13/s14/a32 and more.

Brake lines = s13/s14

Front wheel bearing = s13

A32 tie rod ends fit, but are not the same. S13, s14, r32, or z32 will NOT fit. I happened to have one of each in the shop at the time.

AIR FLOW METER

J30 Maxima (also uses a VG30 engine like the Z32s)

While working on my Maxima today I had a look to see if the AFM fit my Ceffy loom and it does.

Not sure if the AFMs are the same as Z32 but it does fit, I imagine its the same, alot of shit is interchangeable between Z32 and J30.

So, no more forking out cash because the Cefiro AFM is "rare" and the Z32 AFM is "super awesome".

Raid a J30 wreck, also has some useable interior trim and shit.

Win.

Rear brake pads I believe are DB1144, had a look at my pads when they were out and also a look at a picture of them. they appear to be correct and are of the same era as the cefiro. Pads listed are for Nissan Cima (check your bendix cat's)

can confirm this tomorrow when they arrive.

air box from 33 what? Skyline, maxima, laurel?? I'm dieing for a stock airbox

R33 Skyline.

The holes at the top line up perectly (near the strut tower), the ones are the bottom don't reach...they don't line up to anything either, so just use a block of wood and drill it into that so it has a spacer and reaches.

The snorkel sort of fits...it has a buldge under it to go around the power steering main line, but you need to bend it a little, and again, the holes on the snorkel don't line up with the radiator support...just drill through new holes.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
