I purchased a pair of Ganador Mirrors from a member of this forum (MissTara). When it arrived it was pulled apart (mirror housing, mirror glass, screws, mount, spring, wires) plus the paint was f*ked even though she said the paint was in good condition.

After I got it sanded back and repainted by a local panel place, I couldn't fixure out how to put it

together. I can figure out how to place the mirrored glass into the mirror housing, but I can't figur out how to attach the springs from the side mount frame to the mirror housing.

If anyone can help that would be great!

Pulled a set apart myself a while ago. There should be 1/8 dowel pins that hold the springs in place on the base. Pull the springs through the holes in the base plate and slide the pins into the loops at the end.

I noticed that there were loop wires coming from inside the springs. What I tried to do was loop the wire through the hook on the tip of the springs, then pull the looped wire through the hole on the base plate. Then put the 1/8 dowels through the wire...

Did you pull the wire through or did you pull the spring throught the hole, cos I dont think the hook on the spring can go through the hole?

Either way I can't find a way to pull the wire/spring through the hole because its way to small (hole is about 4mm in diameter). How did you do it?

Pretty sure it was both the loop on the spring and the wire. Was really fiddly to do.

The wire is in place more to stop the spring from over streatching, or if the spring fails.

Wow are you serious? I purchased the same mirrors from "MissTara" on the 13th of December and have been waiting ever since... She stopped communication some time ago and has been avoiding my repeated emails pm's and sms's sounds like a dodgy one to me... I finally ended threatening her boyfriend with action from the police on Christmas Eve and have just found the refunded amount show up in my bank account today.

This sort of shit sucks and wrecks it for everyone

I have done some serous research on these tools if you are after any info on them drop me a pm

When did you purchase them cause she told me she sent them to me on the 14th and then 2 weeks later said Australia post lost them and then told me she had them back at her place and last communication I had with them was that the put them in the post addressed to me on the 21st December

She told me the paint was great too...

:(

Looks like she tried to screw you over. I got the mirrors on the 26th of November after waiting over 1week for them to be sent.

Basically there were bubbles on both mirrors surfaces. It looked like someone had put a heatgun on the paint to force it to dry faster. The parts of the paint that was good had a few scratches on it. Both pieces of the frame were pulled apart and the glass of the mirror detached from the frame. I sent her a msg telling her i was not happy with the POS if got but never got a reply.

This is basically the 2nd time within 6mths that I have been screwed over by ppl selling parts on the forum. The other guy was from Melbourne and was protected by a Melb admin because he was a Melb club member. The f*ker tool 3mths to send my injectors and blamed it on aus post. When it eventually arrived it was dated 2 days ahead. So I call BS on the "aus post lost it" excuse.

As for me trying put the mirrors together... I just dont have the tools to do it. It looks like I have to look the wire over the hook of the spring, then pull it through then 3mm (or 4mm) hole.

Thanks for helping SNISMO. I'll try and take a few pics and post it on here. Did you mirros come with a manual which tells you how to put it together if its been pulled apart?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
