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!

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
