I've also decided to turn off the automatic mirror fold and save it for when I "may" park it in a tight space or parking lot. Apart from the novelty wearing thin, I've noticed when the side mirrors fold out the actual mirrors themselves don't always return to the preset position and I often have to re-adjust incar. Same applies with the "reverse tilt" on the mirrors, can that be turned off?

I had the seat not working once, it wa due to a mate 'rushing' the seat back.

Turned the engine off, and then on and off and on a few times and the seat hasnt missed a beat since.

Try and get it back into place, then try and jump it into action by moving back and forwards.

I have a 2003 Coupe with the beige full-leather interior. At start-up the pop-up screen proudly displays that i need to "pit". Admittedly this makes me feel a little like a race-car driver, but is getting annoying. I have had the car serviced at Nissan since i got it and the "pit" warning is still there. Anyone know if this is serious or a way of removing this?

We all know how easily the interior in our car can get scratched badly, especially if the previous owner in Japan fancy wearing lots of rings on their fingers...

I got this from riverside infiniti, apparently the grip cap for the door trim is symmetrical so no problem ordering from USA. cost about US$90 delivered for the pair.

Question is, for those of you who have pulled it apart, do you know if the grip cap is a simple pull out of the old caps or is there a screw securing the back of the cap? I saw two pins on the back of the caps and there's a hole in the middle of each pin, so that might be where a screw must have been used, but I'm not sure...

see pics...

I've not taken mine off but at a guess:

Indent tab at the bottom is for a flat head screwdriver or sim tool to pry it away from the door panel. The studs all look interference fit into ferules. The tab at the base may be for a screw fixing and if so you'll likely need a long shank philips head screwdriver.

oooo i was wondering if you could get these!

are these the brush aluminum finish or are they the plastic ones as found in the older models? i wonder if the aluminum brushed ones fit in older models......

mosoto might be right about the indent tab, I start noticing it a few minutes after my post... but the top one is a clip with a plastic catch, so I reckon once it's pried open from the bottom and tilted, with the same flat head i could press the catch clip at the top to release it...

Blitsc,, yes you can get them, mine is 2003 model so this is a painted plastic one, painted in aluminium/silver finish.

not sure about later model if that's yours, you might as well contact riverside infiniti to ask it... got mine off ebay, under riverside infiniti's store.

not sure old vs new model but if the new one is brushed aluminium, and your car is early model, it may not look the same with your door latch opener.

you may have to replace the whole grip and door latch/lock latch to make them look the same.

I'm gonna re-try & yank it harder tomorrow if that didn't break them... looks like it just need to be pried hard, no screws, but looking how the thin plastic cap flexes I'm not sure if it'll survive...

will let you know how i go...

if they break not sure how that'll affect the accuracy of your mould

Sorry to re-hash ...but did you end up getting them off in one piece?

I'm super keen to get some new ones and wouldn't mind knowing beforehand how tough these are to get off.

My drivers side power window switch is starting to work only when it wants...

Same here. Luckily, mine covered by insurance so it was fixed. After that, I try not to open windows anymore. :P

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
