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.

HAHAHA - you cant do that!! do the other one ya lazy bastard!! :laughing-smiley-014:

as for indicator - wouldn't be that hard hey just splice into front indicators i would think

but yeh - not that important :D

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.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
