Hey all !

I have been looking at this conversion and remember seeing somewhere that there are heaps of these conversions in Thailand and Malaysia n stuff. But I cant find any tech info !  :P

Can someone link me up or provide some info ?

Thanks all.

I have a cef with the conversion in Thailand. It's an auto and can really move. It's is also tail happy. Slides at the light, out of parking lots, doing u-turns... fun to drive. I've been told it's one of the cleanest conversion my friends have seen there. They have this engine in everything, Benzs, BMWs, Volvlos, 180sx, Everything.

But it is front heavy, which might be why it's so tail happy. I never floored it before too. The crossmember is drilled to hold the engine mounts. To my understanding the tranny is Toyota, and the drive shaft is weilded to the cut ceffy drive shaft. I can't confirm this becuse I'm currently in the States and have never had the car on a lift yet. Northern Thailand doesn't have to many large autoshop. Roads aren't that good either. The cat converter hits everything out there. Atleast I hope it the cat and not the oil pan. I even took out the cut springs it came with and put stock height springs, and it still hits once and a while. In additon there is a lump on the passenger side floor next to the gear shift. Don't if that is mod from the installer to have the exhuast still exit out the left. Dunno.

With all the possiblities of the 1JZ, it sit too low for me, and the idea of the weilded drive shaft doesn't sound like a good idea if I wanted to build up the motor. But if you are looking to drag with it, it might be alright. Most of the drag ceffys in Thailand are running the 1JZ or 2JZs.

As for me I was thinking of getting the an SR20, RB25, or RB26 swap instead. Been waiting to post about it. So what engine do you guys perfer for a drift setup? SR for lighter car, but was leaning toward the RB25 for more power. What do you think?

PS keep the good info coming on the forum. It's so hard to find info on the Cefiro, and my Thai is crap. This the only place I can read. :( Thanks.

you have a 1jz but considering an RB25 for more power?

i guess you just need to do some research mate, the 1jz is regarded as one of the best straight 6's on the market, can make an easy 300 rwkw + with stock bottom end, possibly more with good tuning!

Yeah I've seen the giant T88 turbos in Thailand, and know of the potential of 1JZs. But I was actually thinking of having the car setup for going sideways rather than straight. :P

grass is always greener on the other side... RB engines are harder to get and more expensive to buy/mod than 1JZ's over there, wheras here its the other way around.

SR20 definitely for weight reduction.

    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • 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
