Do Stageas have automatic fold-back mirrors, like Mitsubishi FTOs, and some other imports? I thought it was a standard option, but in all the photos on here I haven't seen any folded back ;) If they do have the option, is it on series 1 and 2?

Cheers,

David

Yep, I haven't seen an import without them either. Most aussie cars have them too, but their not electric.

I think in Japan they are pretty much a nessecity due to the parking situtation over there.

from what ive been told by Japanese nationals

Its mainly for bike riders and scooter riders...so if htey hit a mirror it iwll fold out of the way, and not create as much injury.

Its a requirement that all Japan cars have at least folding mirrors, but ive only see 3 or 4 older cars without electronic mirrors...My series one has them....i never use them though

i just always forget about it

im going to rig a switch to make it close when i turn the ignition off...just gotta get int ehre with a multimeter to figure it out

they do close when you turn your ignition off, you just push your switch to retract.

Hook them up to a turbo timer as well as the windows and sunroofs, when the car switches off it closes the windows one by one then the sunnies and finally the mirrors fold in! Would be a great party trick but you would waste a lot of time standing around waiting to make sure it all happened before you left the car in the parking lot.

Grant do you live on base? If not where do you park/work on your car? I know you need to have proof of a parking space to be able to register a car in Japan (in the cities anyway)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
