have had this installed for a while but thought i would finally share a picture of it

this is the homelink mirror that was included as part of hte "premium pack" on th G35 is the USA

as far as i know it wasn't on any V35 model

its features:

- homelink: up to 3 memory IR remote control (to control garage door etc)

- auto-dim: when its dark out and a bright light shines from the rear it dims automatically without you having to flip the mirror down

it cost me about $150 from eGay and came with everything needed including mirror, wiring, and wire cover

the mirror itself mounts to the standard wedge on teh window exactly as the stock one, took me less than 15 seconds to unscrew the old mirror, slide it off, and slide the new one over.

these bad boys are stock on most lexus' and other high-end cars and i am very happy with it - especialyl the auto-dim feature, its superb!

highly recommended for anyone after the luxury features

cheers,

Warren

very easy...

2 wires:

- +12V

- ground

the loom plugs into the back of the mirror and then up through the wire cover and into the hood liner. you will see that our cars already have the hole there for hte wire th go through.. its meant to be there really

then i just ran the loom across the hood liner, down the A pillar cover, and then behind the dash

i gorunded the ground to the chassis, and onnectged the +12 to the cigarette lighter, and that's it

the auto dimming feature is better than it sounds, it really is

Cool

Good to see the pics as I couldn't get my head around were the wires would go but looks very factory, well done.

Have you tried to program the remote yet?

IT doctor.. haven't programmed it yet

cookie--monster.. you can get different models of the rearview mirror WITH bluetooth, but this particular model was designed for this car. not sure if other models would fit as easily

it looks stock because it IS stock. it was made for the car and came out in the premium G35 in the USA. if you look you will all have the hole in the hood liner where the wire is supposed to go

hi Jon,

can you put up a pic of your mirror?

if there's a lug already going into it then it already has some sort of function built into it.. thestock one has no wires going into it, i had to splice into the back of the cigarette lighter to get power for mine

Just a plain looking rear view mirror from the front but at the back as you can see, there is power going into it. Perhaps its already got the dimmer thing built in? How do I test it out apart from getting someone to highbeam me from behind?

hmmm really not too sure on this one

there's no light sensor on the front so might not have a dimmer built in, but why else would it have the wiring loom?

also, it connects to the window differently than my stock one did

try shining a torch into the mirror when the car is in your garage and see if it dims

I found out what the plug does...it disables the intelligent key and makes it stupid :D

I unplugged it today while at the lights just to see if anything stopped working...after getting to my destination, turned car off, got out and tried locking the car with the button on the door handle..didn't work..tried locking with intelligent key, didn't work..so I used my backup autowatch remote to lock.

Came back, same thing, key fob didn't work, unlocked with autowatch and couldn't start the damn car!..was having nightmares of being stranded down the coast and remembering the thread on faulty key fobs...then it dawned on me to connect the plug back to my rear view mirror and hey presto everything works again! :D tried unplugging it again and testing my theory and yes it made the key stupid again.

Anyone here have a S2 sedan with the intelligent key, try this out and see if does the same :D

Hey Warren

I'm very interested in the mirror but for the garage door opener, auto-dimmer is a bonus.

Have you been able to program it yet?

I've opened my garage roller door button and it has little switches you switch up and down, and you do the same on the controller.

I've also checked the www.homelink.com website but the instructions to program it doesn't make sense.

I really want to buy this as there is no convenient, easily accessable place i can put the controller in my car.

Cheers

Tien

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
