My old calais did the same thing, but the side mirrors were fine - they didn't vibrate. So keep an eye out of those instead!

If your centre mirror tips, maybe you can pull it apart, and put something sticky in the ball joint so it is a bit stiffer - it will still shake, but wont tip sideways!

yeah same issue mate, my side mirrors dont vibrate, i should look at something to stop the mirror tipping, i thought glue it straight, but that may cause more problems hehe

eh? what's that ..... ? (says the deaf man :ninja: )

hehehe *uses sign language*

Turn the music down.

The guys 200 metres down the road don't want to be able to sing your song.

If your stereo is that loud, it is also illegal!

When I turn mine up for shits and giggles (Very occasional) it only vibrates the inside mirror, it doesn't twist it around, and I know how solid my bass is, if you're twisting the mirror, turn it down!

Basically, it's not the car shaking thats doing it, it's the air movement. I can feel my sub moving all of the air in my car when it's up loud. But hey, my stereo is for me, not the guy driving infront/behind. SO TURN IT DOWN. I don't want to hear your music!

ok i had this same problem to in my 32, take the mirrors, i think 3 bolts, after there off look underneith your mirror and u should see a small cover, take it off with a flat screw driver.

once its off u will see a couple of screws tighten up as much as u can, as mine were loose as a whore.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
