HI guys

I've just done a tutorial on how to replace the regulator in the window. For those that don't know what i'm talking about. Its the thing attached to the motor that pulls the window up and down. So if any of you guys haven't got one thats working. I hope this helps

Cheers

How to replace a broken window regulator in an A31 Cefiro?

One day I was driving along with the window down, and when it came time to wind it back up, nothing happened. So I listened to the motor, it was working. All I could hear was a grinding, crackling noise, time to inspect. The door in question was the front passenger.

1. Remove Door Trim

a. Undo screws (red arrows)

b. Unclip door trim and remove

2. Remove plastic

a. Undo bolts (red arrows)

b. Remove handle and speaker

c. Remove plastic being careful not to rip it

3. Lower regulator to expose the bolts holding the glass

a. For some reason I could just pull in down (this is because the regulator cable was broken, as I found out later)

b. Undo the two bolts (red arrows)

c. Remove glass from door by sliding it up

4. Remove regulator from door

a. undo the seven bolts (red arrows)

b. the regulator will drop to the bottom

c. Unclip the wire that runs to the motor

d. pick it up and remove it from the large hole

5. The fault has been found. The cable is broken (on right). I bought a new one from Nissan ($150) and had to wait 6 weeks. (on left)

6. Remove motor from broken regulator

a. There are three screws holding the motor to the regulator

b. These are on very tight, so get a tight grip on your screw driver (I swore a few times)

7. Move glass holder on new regulator to the same position on the broken one

a. This saves trouble later on

b. Use a big flat head screwdriver to do this (pic below)

c. Then install the motor onto the new regulator.

8. Install new regulator into the door.

a. Installation is the reverse of removal.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
