Post some pics of your car or start a thread of yours, it's always nice to meet more A31 owners. Here is what I'm mainly looking for: A/C vents, Left one and top, as well as the light sensor cover and if possible the S13 DCC conversion harness so I don't have to re-pin my a/c Here are some picture just to be clear I tried getting in touch with that kismo guy but he never responed to me or my friends in thai or english... I guess he just dosen't like to sell outside of thailand or something...

SO finally I got my rims back from wheelflip yesterday and got my car back on the road
So after a month and a half of her being down i stayed up all night and got to get her running again! I tell you there is nothing like the sound of a RB starting for the first time, especially when it's yours! Basically what I did when she was down: Cleared the sheered off exhuast head bolts New ARP exhaust head bolts New SS Braided Brake lines New SS Bradied turbo lines New Energy suspension bushings New Gasket kit New down pipe Sealed and check all exhaust and vacum leaks Cleaned everything! Installed New A/C system Cleaned IVAC Checked and rewired engine plugs New battery terminals Grounded the engine and ignitor Sea Foam Engine Prior to New spark plugs, OIL Filter, Fuel Filter, etc... And basically just clean alot of old dirt and oil out of her... I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. oh well... Video of the car running here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v...73698897813580 Basically spent alot of cash on parts just to refresh her and took time just to get her perfectly running again I want her to be around for a long time And even though I have another engine going in her I still have plans for this one So now I'm taking the day to just see what else I need to get done and take the weekend to enjoy her Money is alittle tight this month so I need to still get tires for the other set of 350z wheels. So help my build! Check out my For Sale Threads! Here: http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/51710...ml#post5259577 BUMP THEM!!! AND BUY!! LOL!!! Well back to work...

So I limp home and now i have to figure this mess out... FML! I just want to drive!!!! Blah... Times like this I just want to say fuck it and drop in the RB30 before it's done...

My fuel & air upgrade, all this for $100...
Z32 MAF and Remaned 650cc A46-00/ JEGS Injectors A little Birthday present to myself... But sadly the injectors might have to go back considering the guy never sent the flow sheet and these are supposed to be reman 650cc units that I've never seen before... They all seem to be in brand new condition and look great but still the fact I got them so cheap and the tips aren't what normal units look like I don't want to pay to get them flow tested just to find out that they are 270's and be SOL... I'm not risking my engine no matter how good the deal is... Anyone ever see these type of tips before?? I've only seen injectors with 4 holes that are OEM re-drilled... well we'll see... UPDATE!!!!!! SWEET! The guy basically said sorry dosen't have the flow sheet as listed and refunded my money, told me to keep the injectors!!!! I basically got them for free!!!!! I'm just going to send them in and get them flow tested myself! AWESOME!!!! Oh yeah I also might have found a temp fix for my exhaust leak issue on my heap, gonna try it out this weekend so we'll see how that goes... maybe I'll get to drive while the 26 is getting shipped over

EvilRB... Maybe you know this as I can't find an answer... does the Cefiro have an EGI Relay? I have looked in the fuse / relay box on the driver side, but none are labeled as such, wondering if there are any on the passenger side under the factory airbox setup? If you know or could look, that'd be sweet. My ignition wont shut off my car and I've read it's an EGI Relay on other Nissans, so I'm hoping it's just a relay on mine as well...

Any updates? Just read through the entire thread and good stuff man! I had the exact crap happen to me with the exhaust studs breaking and im taking the head off for repairs. The ARP studs you used, is it the part number in the picture you had a page or so back?

No major updates, been working and bought a few more cars...
I am waiting for a few packages to come in from Japan. And yes I'm pretty sure that the part number for the exhaust bolts, if not google it. I just ordered it off ebay, they had the cheapest price shipped. I did take her out a few weeks ago to a local meet. Here is a pic. Also I did get a few other goodies since the last time I've updated here... [IMG]https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak -frc3/981919_10151919090804236_219125372_o.jpg[/IMG] I also got to check out this gem that I used to own... Yes that a is a GZ20 Toyota Soarer TT with a 1G-GTE I used to own one back a few years ago, I miss my car and it was nice to see one again. the owner used to work at Toyota in Japan and with TRD. Really nice guy and had some great stories. Great day! Found a few pix of my old GZ20... I miss my old baby... RIP She got totaled on the 60 freeway in 07 by a Tahoe while I was stopped, that going 0 mph, in traffic.... I was so mad... out of all the cars on the road.... I get rear-ended!! FML... I do plan on working on my ceffy before SEMA so I will post before then.

APEXI ECV (Exhaust Control Valve)
Control Valves - Exhaust Apexi ECV - YouTube I recommend it to anyone with an exhaust! This is my 3rd one and now this car and I can not tell you how many times it has paid off when you are just trying to keep your car quiet. Even when you are just coming home late and don't want to wake your neighbors. It comes in different sizes to fit different size exhaust and all you do is pull the cable to quiet your exhaust when you need it and release it when you don't. Very handy to have! Quote:

Thanks man, I am just waiting on a bunch of shipments from JDM land and slowly building my go fast parts for play time. So I'll update this shortly but it may be after SEMA by the looks of the shipping time. But I did get some new toys to play with while I wait for the engine parts. Say Bye bye to the Blitz 01's! Gotta say I have to change my whole suspension set up again with this set up but the new tires feel great! Alot more comfortable driving but alot harder to get loose so more playing... Well see what happens but as for this weekend all eyes are on FD Irwindale this weekend so that will be fun...

Updating after what 4 years?? (WOW has it been that long???)
Anyway I was going through my old bookmarks and figured I'd update this just incase anyone cares. I had the car in storage for about 2 years and finally took back home a few weeks ago. Put a fresh battery in her and she started right up! Going through the engine now just to do the regular maintence but she still pulls like a dream. Funny cause I bought so many parts for her that I actually bought 2 sets of some stuff. If anyone has some parts LMK, looking mainly for a new radiator and twin tip exhaust. Well I know Cefiros aren't as rare as when I first got her but it feels like closur or something to update this. Here she is when I got her home again. (And WTF happened to all the pictures??? And how do I size these ones down?)
