Chiney, it's like that with all 6th gen cefiros (J31 model).......and as cacasplat rightly said A33 and lower should have the usual connecting rods........

btw, cacasplat3, you have a link to download the A33 service manual? I need to get one (not the american versions)......Need one for my pops' car to run through the suspension........oh and all the work I've had done was done by ME Mr. Green

(except the repair of bumper).........my service manual makes life so easy.

I need 2 get a RH mount also. $499 not 2 bad...

I switching 2 energy suspension mounts to replace my electronic mounts. @ do that i need to replace the crossmember an mounts with the A32 crossmember as its a 3' diameter which is the size of the ES mounts.

But seriously.. how u change all dem things so soon??

I have no fkn idea....and the car is now at 69,000km.......I know for a fact that the door actuators and alternator come with manufacturer's defect, so that was understandable.......but engine mounts????

Door mirrors was because I couldn't get a single mirror without buying a complete unit which was over $2k for one.....so I imported a pair with led's for $2k and well the paint and labour was the extra $700......

Hey guys, new to this forum.

I had my a32 ceff for sale recently but decided that I am most likely going to keep it. I am thinking of doing a VQ25DE (from pa32) swap because I am getting a complete engine, tranny and ecu for about 4K.

Has anyone ever done this conversion to their cefiro here before and know what it entails. I was told that it is fairly straightforward and that electrical harnesses etc are the same just ECU is different. Not any info on this conversion at forums downunder or at the big org. Also to you guys with VQ25DE motors how do you rate your vehicles performance because the VQ20DE is a bit sluggish from standstill IMO.
