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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
