Hey guys Ive noticed a few posts about common problems with A31 cefiros.

Maybe a list of problems that ouccur after importing could be posted here and remedies.

- One thing i have noticed is the power steering from majority of these models are pretty muched fcuked. Mines is leaking from the piping. $250 to fix for a new system not inc. labor.

Annoying things

P: The darn doors keep locking when u start up your car and start driving.

Dont know about u guys but i find this a problem esp when u have to constanly press the open button when u pick up other peeps

A: I have recently remedied this by reseting the ecu. It seems the doors do not lock up anymore. The ECU is the same as an R32 skyline.

P: And as in most nissans u got that blasted ding ding niose when the car hits 100km/h on a freeway and it gets very annoying

A: Any suggestions would be nice.

When my cef got here it had a leak in the power steering, it was only a bit of hydrolic hose that had split just of the pump, we had to pull the whole line out, i rang enzed and they came around and fixed the hose for $110, if you dont want to f*ck around for a couple of hours fitting it and taking it out i dont recomend doing it your self but it wasnt that expensive to fix

I've registered 5 ceffys 4 of which have had rear right hand door problems and each of teh 4 had a differnt problem

window switch

window mechanism relay

widow winder over wind collapse

and one arrived with a bit of pipe holding the window up

had 2 with leaking power steering which was one long term rotting teh rubber bushes and engine mount below it

1 broken speedo cable

just comes down to age and most have done hi kms even if the speedo says otherwise so you have to expect a few bits an pieces to be sorted

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
