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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
