Hey guys and girls

Got my 1993 GTS-T but the driver’s side mirror has stopped working, well It was working when I got the car, but it wasn’t working too well. Like it wasn’t folding in, I thought at first the guy who painted the car must of forgot to plug the mirror back, or exposed some wires. Anyway I pulled off the door and checked with a test light all the wires and found that all wires were active (got power when the mirror needed to fold in or un-fold back out). I ruled out the problem being a fuse for the other passenger side mirror works fine.

So my question is….

Is it possible to change the mirror motor without changing the actual mirror casing?

The reason I ask is that the car has been sprayed in “House Of Kolours, Candy Apple Magenta”, and if I find a complete new mirror to replace it is going to be too difficult, and the reasons are finding a place in Canberra to buy the paint form is going to be a pain in the ass, then finding a painter to paint it will be another pain, then getting the colour to match up with the rest of the car is going to be hell.

So can the motor units be pulled out form the mirror casings, and be replaced?

OR

Does any1 on this forum know of any places in Canberra who are willing to paint a mirror(and not charge an arm and a leg for it) if I find one?

Regards Vlad

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
