Hey guys I'm looking for some A31 Cefiro parts!

I am located in California USA, 91776 so i would need it to be shipped here.

I just got the car last week and as you can imagine it's one of 4 that I know of that is legalized here and parts are a bitch to come by.

Here is what I need:

rear power window amp (right side)

passenger front window switch ( just the switch part not really the trim)

Passenger side front window regulator

Left front a/c vent trim

Right front sun sensor cover

both front vents on dash

drivers side (right side) front corner light

Speedo cable

both sun-visors and the bottons that connect to it, (there are tabs that they screw into the trim, grey color)

Let me know what you got and hopefully we can work something out.

And I'm hopingyou guys have paypal or something like that overthere...

Thanks,

Jeremy

Don't need the power amp anymore found one that works here from a 94 Altima!

But still looking for the rest!

Please hit me up for parts!!!! I need them!!!!!!! Especially the power window switch for the left front passenger!!!!!!!!

  • 2 weeks later...

i was about to suggest your guys usdm Altima, I know U12/U13 bluebird is a direct fit

most of that stuff can still be had new from Nissan,

the left dash vent is a tough one second hand, Ive only ever seen one that was intact, and only skilled hands can remove it without breaking it

Check out www.trademe.co.nz (new zealands version of ebay) always lots of cefiro parts on there, as thats where most of them ended up

just out of curiosity, how did you get it regoed there? especially California with their tough emissions, I thought the US wont let anyone import anything unless its over 25yrs old or unless someone gets a model crash tested like the R33,

I also heard there is obscene importy duty costs aswell

My guy at Nissan has looked into getting parts from Japan but they are slow to respond, no one here has any experience with this car at all so even looking for the part numbers are a little tricky and then translating it might be the problem but I have been told that most parts are not available new from Nissan japan anymore.

I'll double check again but if anyone just has these parts laying around I just need them to work I can refurbish them myself.

As far as getting this car legalized here I bought it like this with all the paperwork done and had it verified again before i paid for it.

This car was done about 3 years ago before the laws got tighter.

I have an idea on how it was done and I'm just not gonna ask the questions.

This my my 4th JDM car, you just gotta know the paperwork and what to look for.

Also I'm trying to join the Trademe.NZ website and it's not letting me become a member, I found a few things i want on there but even if i do get on there and mange to email them i have to hope that they take paypal or find a dealer or something... so much work...

things i do for this car... LOL!

yeah i just talked to a auto dismantler there and he seems to be giving me the run around. I can't even get him to give me a quote on shipping a door for me to the US. he wants me to call him and I have but no one seems to give me a straight answer or the damn quote!

Also i have registered on the site but won't let me confirm the account just tell me opps! something is wrong! I have emailed the company but haven't heard back yet.... DRAMA....

I just want my windows and a/c to work at this point...

Left front a/c vent trim - which one ? If you mean the surrounding trim for the far left big AC vent facing the passenger, don't bother. Of all the Ceffies I've seen in the flesh and in pics, I've seen a total of 3 intact trims. These are extremely rare, and renound for breaking (the equivalent part on C33 laurels is the same). Just mock something up with a bit of DIY lovin'

Right front sun sensor cover - I've got a couple in my shed, the clips are broken, but from experience, you can just leave them sitting in their recess on the dash, they don't slide out, even under hard acceleration/cornering, you can't even hear any rattling.

both front vents on dash - again which ones? pics?? I've still got most of my Cefiro dash parts from when I put a Laurel dash into mine.

drivers side (right side) front corner light - I've got a pair of these, I want to hold onto them until my front bar arrives from Japan (mid-OCT), after that, more than happy to sell.

Speedo cable - Don't know about your Nissan parts availability over there, but here in Aus they're ~~$130.00 new, genuine Nissan Parts, it's the same cable as R32 Skyline and probably alot of other Nissans from the same era.

both sun-visors and the bottons that connect to it, (there are tabs that they screw into the trim, grey color) - I used to have a J30 Maxima, and remember these being exactly the same (just a different color), same applies for various other roof trims. hit up Maxima.org or the local wrecker.

As for your electrical parts/window regs, see if you can't get them repaired locally first, these aren't easy to find to start with, and they'll only get harder to find, even if you get a second hand one, it'll likely bump into the same problems further down the track.

My driver's side power window switch is on the way out, I put this switch in 2 years ago after the last one threw in the towel.

Wow thanks for the reply!

i'll take any parts that you have!

Regarding the sun-visor on the being interchangeable with the J30 Maxima that unfortunately isn't correct well atleast with our models here.

I actually was at the junk yard a few weeks ago and went through various models of different years trying to see what would work.

Here is a pic of what the J30 looks like: $T2eC16ZHJF0E9nmFSt4+BQGZs7)i4Q~~60_3.JPG

Maybe your guys version is different than ours.

As far as the sun sensors the rest of the parts I'll take anything you have.

I just won an auction for a pair of front window switches off yahoo.jp the other night so I actually have a extra driver side switch if you need one coming to me if you need one.

Actually my car came with an extra drivers switch already so I will have 2 so I don't mid letting one go and having a back up.

for the windows, I've been playing with how to rebuild the window motors on the regulators like they do on the z33's so once i get my switch in i'll see how it goes. I have the extra magnets already.

I pays to hit up the junkyards, if this mod works then I'll be able to refurbish the motor basically for free.

I'll do a write up on it and post it when the time comes.

Here is a picture of the other vent parts that I'm missing so that you have a better idea of what I'm talking about: Missingparts.jpg

It's the a/c vents trims and the sun sensor that I'm talking about.

But what I'm really looking need ASAP is A/C lines from the compressor to the condenser and the firewall.

Hope the pictures help clear things up! Let me know!

Ok revising my list:

A/c lines

Sun Sensor and A/C vents trim (as shown in post above)

Speedo Cable

S13 Digital Climate Control Conversion harness

Let me know if you got em'

Im in the US man... hard time getting anything for these cars, even my JDM guys here havent even heard of this car....

Dose anyone have a part number????

Part number for R32 speedo cable is 25050-02U00

If you can't get out of your Nissan dealer, there are aftermarket parts suppliers that stock factory nissan parts.

Here is one example. http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/nissan-speedometer-cable-genuine-nissan-skyline-r32-gts-rb20de-gtst-rb20det-p-930.html

Also, there are a heap of Jap wreckers here in Australia. Here is another example. http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/home/

This one says they are updating their website and not available to purchase parts at the moment but I have bought things like wing mirrors, corner lamps, indicators etc from these guys before. http://www.sleekaspares.com.au/

I've even bought parts off a malaysian (i think) car forum.

That first link I think I saw some of the sun sensors and that in there.

If you didn't already know, we have a thread dedicated to finding compatible spares http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/325614-parts-thread/

One more post.

Just saw your thread in members section.

If you have an RB25 gearbox, they use an electronic speed sensor, as opposed to the RB20 gearbox (and your instrument cluster) which use a cable.

To make the cable fit on the RB25 gearbox you will need to use a modified navara speed sensor.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=120445

Depending on your diff ratio, you may want to use a different cog on your speed sensor.

YELLOW is the 16 tooth for the 3.36

BLACK is the 17 tooth for the 3.54

BLUE is the 18 tooth for the 3.70

WHITE is the 19 tooth for the 3.90

RED is the 20 tooth for the 4.11

PURPLE is the 21 tooth for the 4.38

I already have the Navara conversion done I was checking everything out and doing a tranny flush when I noticed that my speedo cable was sheered off.

Thanks for the info I'm talking to someone for a cable now.

Still looking for the other parts, I was hoping just to get it from a single car in one package but it seems like I'm just getting one part at a time.

I really wish we had these cars here where I can just go to a pick a part and get everything at once.

Save myself some money as well...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
