Has anyone fitted Genuine Ganador side mirrors to a r33 if so did they fit good and have any pics? iv just fitted a set of evo(fake ganadors) to my r33 and they look like shit they stick out about 35mm and look like shit i paid $235 from cartoys as the real deal were $560 so before i spend that much it would be good to get some feed back on the genuine ganadors.

Cheers

Dave

My mate have the genuine Ganador mirrors, on his R33 GTST, and they fit perfectly.

Unfortuneately no pics of the car with the mirrors, buy you wont be disappointed with the genuine Ganador mirrors.

If you want PM Babia (real name: Nikki) and ask him to if he has any pics. He is very busy with work, but may have a spare minute to send you a pic.

Any chance of a pic of your current copy/fake mirrors?

How do they get the indicator functionality? do you have to run some wires yourself to get both indicators on the mirrors and guards to work?

the ebay ones are okay they fit good you need new screws and stuff to mount them properly.... but they look pretty decent but the cf looks cheap i would just paint them

oh and also they crack in cold weather.... my bro left his car outside in winter and the glass cracked

heres a pick of knock offs on my buddys silvia... alll and all not bad for 20 bucks haha

yehh i bought one off ebay for like $70 i thnk.. its fake carbon fibre with the indicator lights on them

looks really nice mann but my one didnt fit probably had to do some custom work at home (btw it was a home job)

but if you want it to fit perfectly try giving it to a professionally fitter or maybe the mirrors werent made to fit 'perfectly'.

I only fitted the passenger side becuase it took a blooody long time to install one mirror and i got lazy,so i been driving

around with two different side mirrors :) .

Also i havent connect the side indictor lights as my R32 is a 89 model and it dosent have a side indictor, it only has the front indictor

which connected to the headlight..connecting the indictor would be a harder job for me ...soo yehh i actually gave up on the

side mirrors.

None the less it looks good and improve the look on your car abit but the fitting can be a bi7ch..well to me it was :) .

Oh and make sure you get the electric one :whistling:

i can get pics for ya but i dont know how to post it up soo if you want give me your email and ill send it to ya.

I've got a set of ebay knock off ganadors and they are utter rubbish. Although it was advertised to suit the car, it still took custom work to get them fitted. The controls are reversed vertically, so down is up and up is down. Aside from that that, the mirrors themselves don't have enough adjustment to let me see out - passenger or driver side. At full right tilt all I can see is the back seat of the car through the rear side window. Also, whatever you do manage to see through them is appears magnified, the exact opposite from "objects in the mirrors are closer than they appear" warning you see on normal (convex) mirrors.

Highly un-recommended.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
