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

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
