Hey all,

Just trying to work out the best way to hook the power mirrors up to the alarm so they fold/unfold when you enable/disable the alarm.

Has been discussed before if you want a quick catch up http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ht=mirror+alarm

So from what I can gather the G-O appears to be to wire it to the central locking, and detect ON/ACC so you don't accidentaly close the mirrors by locking the doors whilst driving?

Figure I'd use something like a 2PST 12v relay to figure the ON/ACC part, and then just hooking the switch under the dash into the central locking..... unless anybody else has any better ideas?

Thanx

ive thought about this also. and do plan on setting it up one day. i dont know how much power the mirror motors draw so playing it safe might require a few relays, one for open and one for close.

you might want to have a switch to be able to turn this feature on and off. with the relays have this switch control the main power imput of the relay (save having two switchs) or have a cross over relay that when the ignition is on the relay doesnt send power to the other relays

find the wires that controls the door lock unlock. correct the lock to the relay used for close and the unlock to the relay used for the open.

if you find the mirrors are not opening or closing fully you might need to add a capacister.

by slicing into the harness you leave your original switch working at all times, this will solve the problem some find with remote start ect.

hope this has been of help. do tell if you get it done i would be interested to know how ya went.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
