    Sitt having trouble? My guess is bad air/fuel ratio. 1. Too much diesel (lean condition), need to adjest pump & injectors. 2. Low airflow, Clogged or bad air filer / line. 3. Airflow Sensor (MAF) or Oxygen sensor fault. I own a 1999 made manual U14. Some parts of the wiring was f****d by some idiot. I didn't have any experince in automobile field. But mostly I do the little repairs at home myself.

    Welcome to the thread. Honestly, don't know much about mechanicals, but my guess is🤔 the fault might be lying around the auto gearbox. But wait for some professional insight. Fuel economy; SU14 diesel auto guys say 8-10 km/L city 12-14 km/L out Please add more info like YOM, engine model, etc.

    Sorry for the long silence... Found some pay-to-get parts catalogues, but I'm not sure that they are the correct ones. Also, most of them are russian. So, for now, I'm going with amayama or epc-data to identify correct part/location/etc. It's a headache but bears good results. Guys, I'm putting a list of things that need to be fixed with the real freetime I have (Man-cave time given by the lovely wife 😉). The wiring needs a big attention, coz I'm finding a lot of vacant sockets, more than the OKAY limit. Forgive me for long and long words, here is the first one. 1. Revers indicators (both) not working. Both bulbs are fine. Found a 2wire sensor/switch at the far bottom of the gearbox with both wires cut/bitten. (not the oil level sonsor, ithink.) A vacant socket was found near the alternator, identical to the socket type in the drawing. (Courtesy of alvadi.ee). So, could this be the correct ones for the solution? If I put the gear into R and check the switch with multimeter, will I get a reading?( from N/O to CLOSED). If the socket is the correct one, is it okay to short circuit the terminals of that socket to check the reverse indicators are illuminating, with the key is ON? Will there be a fused protection? Or is this the craziest question from a rookie car owner? 🤔😉

    Guys, does anybody have a pdf or working link to a service/ user manual for Nissan Bluebird 1999 (KE-SU14)? I've googled, tried sites as jdmfsm and many others. But nothing good came yet. Plz help...
  5. wildwise
    I coudn't get a handbook, owner's manual or something simillar (digital or printed). Any idea about where can I have one? Data plate says KE-SU14.

    Changed the idea about sunroof... 😎
  7. wildwise
    Yeah, I let go of the idea about sunroof. 😉 With no plans on reselling this beast yet, I need to get everything to almost original condition.

    Thx man... 😊 I'll put every question/experience about Bluebird I have here... Last week I changed the rear wheels with 185/70/14 Ferentinos for 46k. Swapped them with front ones (175 Ferentinos) & did Balancing + Alignment. Changed Engine/filter & gear oil. 1st & Reverse gears are sometimes hard to put, my thought is old clutch plates. (Clutch is at the bottom). What you think? (Need to change wiper blades soon.)

    Thx a lot. I didn't know about T belt maintenance even though I read info about CD20. I got the speedometer to 155kmh at southern expressway to see the performance. Now I can see the risk I took. will replace them ASAP. Are there any specific type or brand for them, or do I just ask by Car/Engine model (CD20E)? Roughly how much will it be?

    Tnx, Interior was the first thing that caught us at first sight. Here are the seat belts>> Can't pull them out. After few hard tries, L side can be pulled out. But after auto pulling in by mechanism, it's same as Driver's side. I was told earlier that after an airbag deployment, seat belts are not retracting / pulling in. But this is the opposite side of that. plz correct me if I'm wrong. I managed to get some good transparency to the headlights by cutting them with sand papers & B-cut myself. Took me about an hour with no electric tools. Got the audio setup working. but only rear L speaker is working. A blue cable to antenna was connected. But didn't have time to check for cable/motor faults.

    Thx, Hand brake is not working as expected (I have to pull it maximum to get wheels locked.) Front & Rear brakes were inspected by a friend at the service & he said they have some 500km left with them. But I'll replace them ASAP. Still couldn't replace brake fluid though... I had removed the rad expansion tank lid when the pic was taken. It was little bit damaged. Applied some super glue & It's working fine. Water level is holding. Will replace with coolant soon. About T belts, I didn't understand what you said. Plz explain...

    Next homework is repairng side mirror michanism. Both ones play "taka taka taka" songs when retrackting. Afterthat, antenna (need to find how the original setup used to work on that & decent workig setup, coz current cheap one is not working) Anyway, I'd like to keep this thred alive about Bluebird, so me or anyone in future will have a benifit. What do you say guys? (Forgive me for my tone... Still getting familiar with automotive facts & Autolanka rules & trends)

    Thnx man. Yeah, I too agree with keeping the original specs instead of putting fake SSS trim. I tried to fix both front seat belt assembly sets, but no success on that. Need to fix headlights ASAP coz they aren't shining enough at night. Today I found out someone put 100/90W bulbs into 60/55W holders. This must be the one caused plastic transparent face to break like earthquake faults. This is somewhat confusing & HEAD/PASS is illuminating very slow (like waking from a sleep) even with the engine running. So overtaking in night / traffic is not good yet. This babe has a CD20E Heart. So I'm putting some pics for you bro... Look at my Batmobiles (BLUEBIRD & BLACKPEARL) (Kept getting errors when uploading large images, so I put some screenshots. iRage, Bro I need help changing the topic of this thred from Familia to Bluebird for first car.)

    Guys, I just bought my SU14. But I can't figure out if this is eprice or Le Grand. Also, after reading about your friend's U13 with sunroof, I'm wondering that, can I fit one too? (Cut the hood & etc... 🤔😉)

    Thanks everyone for kindly sharing your wisdom. I went & inspected few 323s (mostly 91's) & changed my idea from Mazda to Nissan. I found some Bluebirds closed to 2000s & decided to buy one. I'm still learning the detailed specs but, these are my first car's basic things... Bluebird SU 14 Not sure about if this is an eprice or Le Grand (not a SSS model) YOM: 1999 2.0 Diesel 5speed manual New paint Little rust for now Alloy wheels (originally came with car, I think) Good sound & very low vibation Interiour is okay & comfortable Repaired engine Cost me about 1.85 Mn LKR Rumour is these are somewhat rare & costy when it comes to spares, compared to Sunny models. But I'm taking the risk for the shear fun of driving it. Now I need to do these... Cut & polish Headlights or find good SSS set. Front seat belt assembly sets (both are stuck,I managed to pull belts out by partly dissembling & banging assembly motor sets... Just like Tinker Bell... Huhh) New decent bluetooth setup Good 2 tires for rear Solution for reversing in night Clean, repair or buy dual power mirrors (retracking is lousy) Solution for slowly moving shutters Maintain these rusty spots, cuz I'd like to ride this bird for some quality years Wish me luck brothers...
