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

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?

yeh mate i got a set of genuine ones on my r33 i bought them of a guy on the forums for $300 and they fit perfectly and in my opinion look awsome as. it wnt show the picture i attached sorry guys they do look really good anyways

Edited by munro'sgts-t

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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
