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!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
