Hi Dudes,

With the continuation of stripping my interior back, I am looking at removing the rear wiper mechanism. Car never came with a rear wiper & have no need for one. Problem is, there is obvisouly a hole cut in the windscreen to allow for it.

Question is -

Has anyone had their rear windscreen replaced for any reason?

Can u get one without the hole in it?

If so, where from? Windscreens O'Brian???

Cheers in advance guys!

Konect - I actually did call em but they were like WTF is a Cefiro. Tried explaining for ages but unfortunatley owning an import can cause some issues when talking to Aussie dealers. I also checked thru every 29 pages of the Cefiro section to see if the issue had be covered off previously...to no prevail....

So the lecture about calling before asking really aint required buddy! Don't jump to concluions that I have done nothing to find the info first. Even if I had just simply posted.... im sure some people would be more than happy to provide constructive feedback / assistance. If that frustrates you, well each to their own...no need to pipe up about it dude!

Just thought someone may of had better luck communicating with a company and able to point me in the right direction....u know HELPING out fellow Cefiro owners!

Resin - The hole that the motor goes thru to move the wiper across the windscreen. Obvisouly some Cefiro's came with the rear wiper option some didn't (I assume urs didn't Resin)

Reason why I can't have a rear wiper is

1. The actual thread for the wiper to connect to is rusted to the BS, so unable to be used

2. I dont want a F*#king rear wiper......

f**kme it seems you cant post a simple question here without getting flamed.... so much for being a forum for helping each other out!

Ouch. I was being constructive in a 'funny cuz its not me way' :blink:

Anywhoo is there more than one Windscreens O'Brien place around ?

You want contructive...I went through all my paper work and found the receipt for my windscreen.

Product: 231097

Decription: Nissan Cefiro A31 Sedan

Says on it the parts had to come from Padstow (head office)

Maybe you could give them the part number and they could link it to the car and then the back window.

Konect - Now thats the shinizle.... thanks buddy. I could of possibly :blink: taken the comment the wrong way....I just cracked the shits searching thru all pages in this section making sure it had been covered off, with no luck, then called Windscreens to get some useless mofo MONKEY on the phone, so patience levels were at an all time low! So thought might post up & see what happens.... then the first post i asking me to search first then ask..... just a funny comment with the wrong timing.

So apologies buddy if your comment was made in jest.... :)

Thanks for looking it up dude, will give em a buzz tomoz!

I remember seeing something about this before. Just get a rather large gromit, and some sikaflex. $5 done deal. Might look a bit dodgy but hey, its a drift car, and I am sure you could spend the $200-1000 some glass mob is going to charge you on something much better.

Well I ended up calling Windscreens O'Brien's main 13 # instead of directly calling a local outlet. Guess what..they knew what I was on about! :( :sorcerer:

Now it turns out that they do not stock the rear windscreen. Had about 20 front windscreen in stock, but apparently they have to specially order one in from somewhere.... $$$$$$$$$$$$$ :O

So i was told to call my local outlet..... ha :P and get a quote!

So I will try a different local one and try my luck.

But guaranteed that it will cost heaps like Dave said.

Also im sure they are not going to be able to verify whether it is one for a rear wiper or not!!

I wait to stand corrected....maybe Konects assitance with the product # may help out. Any ideas of how much it cost u Konect?

I think i may end up doing like Dave said.....Gromet & sikaflex the biatch up.

Will report back once confirmed pricing etc....so people will know for future reference!

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
