the electric folding function on my mirrors doesnt work very well, i have to "help" the mirrors fold in. i think the motoros need a clean out, or something has seized a little.

anyone know how to get them apart to clean the motors?

ive had the mirror off, and the mirror off the pivot plate, but i cant get the motor out of the mirror itself. ideas people?

thanks. Nigel

ours did exactly the same thing - so I took it all apart- found there was a screw missing - replaced the screw with the nearest equivalent I could find - put it all back together again - and it started working!

I have the same problem with my mirrors they won't fold in. They did a year or so ago and then didn't work. I think it might be the case of a wire or something has come lose as when you click the switch nothing happens not even a motor noise it's as if it's completely dead?

nissan dealership wanted to charge me 600 dollars for the entire mirror assembly and about 300-and-something for the folding motor. i think i can live without it

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
