Hey from Canada! Do you guys know what the part number for the windsceen on an a31 is? (if glass has a part number) Glass isn't my specialty. Or, does anyone know what substitutes there is? Like an e90's maxima?

Just go to a auto glass fitter and give them the model number (Nissan A31 Cefiro) they should be able to get one in if they dont already have one. I Aus the place I rang had one in stock ;)

Give it a go, or alternatively go to nissan.

Hey, thanks for the tips. I apreaciate any help. But the Cefiro was not exported to Canada and it is very rare in canada. I imported my car strait from Japan, there is maybe 10-20 in all of Canada. (I'm probably wrong but you get the idea). I go to a nissan dealer and they look at me like, wtf is a cefiro, lol. But I have been looking around at local autoglass shops...Maximas windscreens don't fit, there about 6 inches wider.

Anyone know if a s13 windscreen fits?

No, things like windscreens are car specific if the maxima was locally delivered to your country then they would be able to get you a windscreen cos the maxima is the cefiro, it's the same thing really...

No, accualy the Maxima and the cefiro are not the same until 1992, which would be the A32. Which is too bad cuase, like I said, even though the 90 maxima is very close, it's about 6 inches to wide. You are right, windsceens are very specific. Guess I have to grab my wallet and order one from Japan.

hi,

exhaust question here for Cefiro:

Dump pipe/front pipe, will a aftermarket R32 one fit?

also, cooler kits....will a R32 fit?

thanks

If going for Aftermarket goto Reinhard they make a specific Cefiro front pipe. (www.hipowerracing.com - Contact Ivan).

Any FMIC cooler will fit with enough cutting and shutting of the front bar... if talking about piping, the R32 piping needs to be cut slightly. EG: Pipe which goes across the front of the engine and then joined with a silicon pipe for example.

ALSO>>> Hand brake cable? Part No.? Alternative car for straight fit?...

R32 handbrake goes into laurel so i would assume its the same.

R34 gtt stock sidemount intercooler is pretty much a straight swap into a ceffy. You use the ceffy bracket and cut of the piece for the snorkel off with a hacksaw. You also need to cut a section of of the splash guard cause it sits lower than the stock one.

The ceffy sidemount set up is very similar to the r33 and r34 not r32

is there much difference in cooling efficiency from the r34gtt item over the stock ceffy item?

yea i noticed much greater pulling power when boost kicked in and esp after 5000 revs when i was finding mine was dropping off as a result of the increased boost i had, and there was no lag difference. Plus they are rated for up to 200kw ...so i figured i would try it instead of a big front mount. At the moment i dont think i will be going over the 200kw mark so i thought it was the best option for now. There are acouple of threads in the forced induction section on this.

cheers for that Resin, read both those threads. were pretty interesting. You have me hooked on getting one now! Espec that i'm not after huge power figures either and i also get that same drop in power after a bit of revs. Don't seem too pricey either.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
