yesterday i pressed the button to retract my wing mirrors and they retracted perfectly.

then i pressed the button for them to go back out. and they didnt budge.

the buttons worked fine to move the mirror direction around once they were retracted so i thought that might rule out the 'loose connection' theory i had at first.

in the end i pushed the mirrors back into place..

has anyone had this happen?

its not a massive deal, but it would be nice to fix this problem if i could... any ideas =] ?

I duno what skyline you have, but on my 32 there is one button for mirror fold in/out and a seoperate button for moving the mirror itself up down etc.

To me it sounds like the motor is fine because they retract so I would check just the retraction mirror button, the contacts on the part for opening mirrors back out might be really dirty....

Dude takes 30 minutes to do. Instead of using glue to hold the electrical contact in place - melt a plastic fork (the white ones) and push the plastic in with your finger. It goes in no time and then you just need to put it back on.

Fixing the retract will stop wing mirror scrapes.

Up to you.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
