As a prior Cefiro owner, a few points of advice for your plans. - The front subframe is not the same as an s chassis. Its an R32 subframe, with S13 LCAs. You can swap an S13 frame in though. - easiest moves for brakes is z32 like you said, rear hubs will bolt on to convert to 5 lug. I used S14 JDM front knuckles, LCAs and coilovers, all bolt on and allow you to run z32 rotors and calipers on the front. Kinda disappointed to see the K swap, will be better obviously but the rb20 is a great little nugget and sounds awesome, with new tech you can really get good things out of them
We would wrap chains around a railroad tie and drag it back and forth with a truck for maintenance. Only needed it boxbladed after hurricanes and shit lol.
Pretty stoked for this build! Gonna be one of the most interesting builds you've done for a while!!! Also super hyped for you to do drift week and the drift week content!!
For the steering shake.. Make sure your wheels are concentric to the hub. I’m 98% sure that’s the issue. Locating lugs are sometimes not enough especially on 4 stud hubs, grab some rings or new wheels, though I like the wheels 👍🏼
Man i am so glad to see some JDM back on the channel. Cefiros are by far the sickest JDM car. Love your channel, keep up the good work. You inspire me to learn more about cars and how to work on them. So thank you.
I’d love to see you build this into a drift week car, keep the AC bigger turbo and a nice lil flex fuel setup making 300 whp! That would be really awesome!
That is such a sick plan! makes me want that car so much more. with you knowing Cleetus and him being super close to Brent from PFI I'm sure you can get the K Series tuned but one of the best in the Honda game and have a true ripper.
I absolutely LOVE the Cefiro. Always have, always will, will cry if you ever get rid of it. A K series in one of these things (to me) has never been seen before and Turbo?! Heck yea!
Hey S-chassis suspension are a direct bolt on for that car because it’s basically a 4-door S-chassis with an rb engine. So u don’t have worry about parts for it. I’m glad to see this car back on the channel. Who here in the comment section say jz build 🤷🏻♂️ 🙋🏻♂️
I really thought this would be a drift taxi already!! Also really love how the whole time your talking about this build you never mention that its content, you can really tell that everything you do is for you not just to make content, and i love that to be honest!
Whatever you do, please don't change the ride height. Really stoked to see more content of this car, I've been missing it. Edit: Watched the rest of the video, even more excited now. One further request, please keep the current cage.
Honestly so glad you still have this car, these cars are awesome. I had one for 9 years and loved it, they fit so many parts from silvias and skylines which makes it so easy!
Im so glad u didnt get rid of it, I love this car and always thought it deserved a real build. Now exactly it is hopefully happening I cant way to see you dig into it😍
Hi idle adjustment there is a screw on the aac valve to adjust fine idle. From memory get engine up to temp turn off disconnect aac valve plug start engine adjust screw to desired idle turn off engine re connect plug and your all good. Just check exact details on the net been a while since ive done it.
I FLIPPED WHEN HE SAID IT WAS FOR DRIFT WEEK, THAT WAS LITERALLY WHAT I WAS THINKING IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR. Really glad he's going, wondered why he wasn't at/invited to the first one, but glad he's going either way. Really enjoyed, keep up the good work, really going to be cool if you get to tandem with Adam's Orange JZX100
Good luck with the big life changing decision man I hope the best for you and Sandy, and Ben too! You definitely have become one of my favorite youtubers if not my top favorite ever, your honesty in what you do and how you treat others is unmatched. Hope to see you move on to bigger and better things if you chose to do so. Also, I'd love to see a turbo k-swaped cefiro cause I think it would be a first of its kind!
Will not need a smooth driveway at a new pad. Hell yeah, stoked to watch this dude make some more magic. Can't wait, BTW, way to leave your people hanging. Good luck on this life changing thing, hope it happens for you!
As much as I do love the K Swap idea, i was hoping we could see an RB street car build! Your videos have been so informative on the LS Miata build and i think applying that to an RB build would be great to watch!
Not sure if you fixed the windows but if they have the option of auto up/down the end points need to be reset on each window before the driver switch will work for up. To do this usually you push the down switch at each door and hold it until it stops at the bottom(wait 2-3 seconds when it get there). Then do the same for putting the window up; push the up button and hold it until it sets to the top and wait at least 2-3 seconds when it gets to the top. Hope this helps. I work on Japanese cars all the time that have this problem and it’s the simplest fix if you know. Love the content and your channel. 😎
Dude when you said K series, i was like FUCK YES! So stoked for this build series because i know you're 100% gonna do this shit right. Can't wait for more.
Taylor! I literally just had the same steering wheel problem as you YESTERDAY! I got my tires balanced and it fixed it right up. Hopefully that works for you my dude.
As soon as you started talking about 4 cylinders I knew it was gonna be a K series! Between this and the turbo truck, I'm really looking forward to the next few months of videos
K24a2 out of a acura tsx with a g sieres garret or gen 2 precision turbo would be bad ass. Extra torque from the larger k-sieres will be great in that car. Try and re use the gauges in the car too, cuz the old school hks and blitz gauges would be cool to see functioning
The window issue may be an initialization thing. Every time you disconnect the battery the body control module looses memory of where the window completely up and completely down is/was. So, at each window, roll the window all the way down. Let go of the switch momentarily. Press and hold each window switch down for 5-10 seconds. Do the same with the windows all up and hold each window switch up for 5-10 seconds. After that then try the window switches from the drivers master switch.
you mentioned only having front brakes and immediately reminded me of my dually when i first bought it. Previous owner must've gotten annoyed and capped off the rear brake line before he got rid of it. Didn't find out i didn't have rear brakes until i was driving in the winter and doing little baby burnouts at stop signs without touching the gas.
link ecu make a plug in ecu for these, well worth looking into. Works well and can ditch the air flow meter and run it with any MAP sensor. Simple to tune, proven results etc. Lots of drifters run them over here in NZ. Excellent customer support too.
ok. im super excited. first off i guessed 2850lbs, and soon as you started talking about the weight over the axle i was like K24. i have a project idea for a rwd K24/ZF project, so will be cool to see you do it. my plan is for a stock K24A/TSX engine w/GT30 sized turbo, KMiata intake, TF adapter, etc. not 100% excited on the chassis (like the JZX more) but i get the idea, and that i like. daily driver... oh, cage still needs to go, and gauges. cant wait for the truck to. seen plenty of them (long time sloppy follower), but again like you see your vids on it.
Awesome, I’m about to do a budget K swap. Can you do a full buyers guide? From the plus or minus of each K, junkyard pulls of motor and trans, tools needed at junkyard, how much we should pay for each version, which ZF to get, cheapest way to put them together, what else to take from donor cars, stock/modded ecu vs stand-alone. I’m sure there are other things I should be mentioning but you get the point. I’ve always been a car guy who didn’t have money to buy one so I’m gonna build one. Recently bought two 1979 Rx7s cheap, one is a shell that I’m halfway through stripping the chassis and plan to swap and build. Thanks for the awesome vids.
Duuuude a freakin K series swap?! I'm not a huge honda guy (though I did own an s2k for 4 years lol), so I've never seen content on honda stuff, and I couldn't be more stoked on this! It's gonna be a great learning experience to see this all come together. And seriously, no better builder I'd want to watch put this together.
Super pumped for this one! I was hoping this car would make a come back. The LS is a great motor and the content has been awesome since you have gotten into them but something new to learn and build will be sick!
Yeah my ls stuff from here on out (atleast for awhile) will be stuff like the turbo truck. I have my reliable LS drift car, I want something a little more wild.
Tayl or this is a real witty idea. I always stand by the k series zf combo as the motor is so reasonable and parts are easy to find. Its really the new 21st centrury sr20. And with a bmw zf trans is small, light and can take power. Its the best combo for a FR setup 4 door or 2 door IMO. I'm with you 1005 on this build! A cefiro is the witty answer to the rwd camry...i mean jzx that you are beginnin to see as common.
I'll buy the RB! My C33 Laurel could use a freshen-up! And just by the by, my car is running Z32 rear brakes and retains the parking brake, along with Q45 front brakes. Quality braking with plenty of aftermarket support! I also had a shake in my steering similar to that. Turns out the lug studs were trying to fall out of the hubs! So if you use the ISR 5-lug swap hubs (which I recommend) make sure the studs are pressed in well!
You absolutely HAVE to trailer it down to Colorado and let PFI tune the K-motor! Would make for great videos, a testdrive for the truck, and the best of the best tune wise!
I love that car and im glad you are working on it again. My and my friend were talking about how those K swaps are getting more popular with RWD drfit bois. Im stoked. Do it!!!
taylor try and cycle each window down and up from each door switch, then see if the main front door switch works. sometimes the main switch wont go up if the battery has been off and on .. see how u go😀👌
Not gonna lie. Havnt watched your Chanel properly for a while now because being from Australia, miata builds don't really interest me. But definatly keen on this. This is gonna be awsome.
It’s everything we’ve been wait for...
Drift Taxi ✅
K Swap ✅
Sloppy Drag Truck ✅

K series are cheap reliable.lol...
Boostedbpiz have a j swap s14 project going on..its going be nice to see another cheap swap
I am with you, the rb20 is such an underrated engine, and they take some abuse!
And that's coming from a Toyota man, just saying
Def should be keeping the RB20, it's just meant to be in there... HKS2530 and supporting mods and you will be smiling ear to ear
RB20’s are ridiculously inferior by comparison, it never really ceases to amaze me people bother spending money on them
This thing will look sick when its done!
Can you imagine this and LZs chaser in tandem on a kart track?!
😍🔥
So long as Adam's chaser gets a new motor and doesn't catch fire..... again
Driveway can be smooth. Find a neighbor with a box blade on a tractor to make a few passes on your driveway.
We would wrap chains around a railroad tie and drag it back and forth with a truck for maintenance. Only needed it boxbladed after hurricanes and shit lol.
Yeah, just make yourself a diy drag and pull it with the fummins. Overkill

Cefiros and laurels are very underrated outside of Japan. Love seeing this thing being used again
Underrated outside of Japan? Ha ever been to NZ? They were/are absolutely everywhere here, and way way overrated.
The moment you realize here in Trinidad we use the Laurels, Medalist and much more as Taxis
How much does one cost there lol

It’s the best RWD Maxima ever

Aaron Le-Robinson me too.
Dude same tho
THIS WILL BE SO COOL. Super happy that Taylor is a hardcore driver and super function oriented, but still knows very well how to style a car.

fingers crossed for whatever you have planned. Go get it.
I love my Cefiro. I'm building one on my channel out here in Malaysia. Eventually, when I move back to the States, I'll be bringing mine back too.
The lights in the shop look so much better than the previous set up.
Honestly so glad you still have this car, these cars are awesome. I had one for 9 years and loved it, they fit so many parts from silvias and skylines which makes it so easy!
I would love having this car, honestly my dream car , god we all wish we can have things like that😕🏁
What's it called
It always seems your next build is something that I’ve always wanted to do. Keep up the great content taylor, looking forward to following along.

Going to be a great build! Cant wait to see you go all out on something oddball like this
Thats the same bodykit and color that I had on my Cefiro 9 years ago :) Even the rims style is similar! Tour build is just a lot cleaner!!
As soon you said 4 cyl I was hoping it'd be a K! Totally going to watch every step of this car.
Another project I'm very excited to watch!!!
Man this is gonna be a sick little build series.
Wish the best of luck man you deserve it
And best of luck with your moving adventure, hope you get it!
ok. im super excited. first off i guessed 2850lbs, and soon as you started talking about the weight over the axle i was like K24. i have a project idea for a rwd K24/ZF project, so will be cool to see you do it. my plan is for a stock K24A/TSX engine w/GT30 sized turbo, KMiata intake, TF adapter, etc. not 100% excited on the chassis (like the JZX more) but i get the idea, and that i like. daily driver... oh, cage still needs to go, and gauges.

Awesome, I’m about to do a budget K swap. Can you do a full buyers guide?
