  2. Well the other week my front passanger window stopped working whilst being "wound" back up, stopped an inch from the top

    pulled it apart and found that the nylon bracket that tensions the wire the is used to pull the window up is broken

    now i'm assuming that i will have to replace the rail????

    if so who has one and how much

    or how can i fix this

    i really want to be drivin my cefiro around, it suck drvin a toyota

    it sounds like you need to replace the window regulator, cost about $150 from nissan, which they have to get from japan, so takes like 6 weeks.

  3. good idea guys loving the info

    quick qestion

    inside the doors to do with the elec windows u have a black box.

    is that the "window regulator"?

    coz im was stuff and stuck on and made my battery go flat

    i need a new one.....any idea what cars have the same

    the window regulator is the mechanism that moves and holds the glass. i doubt it is that. it would be more like a window motor relay or somethin

  4. i paid $1050 for full comprehensive, i'm 21 and rating 2, i live in regional victoria, and agreed value on the cef is $11000.

    Victorians are worse off because they can only get there full license at 18, where as SA (where i grew up, lol) you get it at 16 and a half. So i've had my full license for 5 years.

  5. HI guys

    I've just done a tutorial on how to replace the regulator in the window. For those that don't know what i'm talking about. Its the thing attached to the motor that pulls the window up and down. So if any of you guys haven't got one thats working. I hope this helps

    Cheers

    P.S. SomeonestoleCC you can have this for cefiroz.com if you like. PM me or something.

    How to replace a broken window regulator in an A31 Cefiro?

    One day I was driving along with the window down, and when it came time to wind it back up, nothing happened. So I listened to the motor, it was working. All I could hear was a grinding, crackling noise, time to inspect. The door in question was the front passenger.

    1. Remove Door Trim

    a. Undo screws (red arrows)

    b. Unclip door trim and remove

    image_1.jpg

    2. Remove plastic

    a. Undo bolts (red arrows)

    b. Remove handle and speaker

    c. Remove plastic being careful not to rip it

    image_2.jpg

    3. Lower regulator to expose the bolts holding the glass

    a. For some reason I could just pull in down (this is because the regulator cable was broken, as I found out later)

    b. Undo the two bolts (red arrows)

    c. Remove glass from door by sliding it up

    image_3.jpg

    4. Remove regulator from door

    a. undo the seven bolts (red arrows)

    b. the regulator will drop to the bottom

    c. Unclip the wire that runs to the motor

    d. pick it up and remove it from the large hole

    image_4.jpg

    5. The fault has been found. The cable is broken (on right). I bought a new one from Nissan ($150) and had to wait 6 weeks. (on left)

    6. Remove motor from broken regulator

    a. There are three screws holding the motor to the regulator

    b. These are on very tight, so get a tight grip on your screw driver (I swore a few times)

    7. Move glass holder on new regulator to the same position on the broken one

    a. This saves trouble later on

    b. Use a big flat head screwdriver to do this (pic below)

    c. Then install the motor onto the new regulator.

    8. Install new regulator into the door.

    a. Installation is the reverse of removal.

  7. heeeeerrrrooooo

    i need to remove the windows from the doors of my car... should the glass be removed from the window mechanism or can the whole thing be removed in one peice>>?

    i have to do this tomorow so any help would be ace!

    cheeeeers.

    :)

    Its pretty simple to do.

    1. Remove door trim

    2. wind window down until the bolts that hold the glass to the regulator appear (2 i think)

    3. Take out the bolts.

    4. Remove glass.

    I have a website link that shows you how to take out the regulator from a maxima if that helps.

  8. Electric Life Australia will only sell me a regulator and motor. I only want the regualtor for the front and rear. For the front they quoted me $300, lol. Nissan quoted me $195 for front w/out motor and $158 for the rear w/out motor, from japland and i have to wait 4 weeks.

  9. Hi,

    I've now broken two window regualtors and have decided to fix them at the same time. I have a few questions;

    1. Who apart from nissan can get these?

    2. Does the Cefiro share a regualtor with another car, i.e Maxima, Silvia, etc. ?

    3. Is it common for these car's to break the cables in the regualtors?

    Thanks

    David
