I have this on my G35 (Premium) There is a toggle switch under the drivers side...

Flick it on, then anytime you revers your mirrors (left and right) tilt down towards the ground. Quite the nifty little feature! :D

lucky you. I had mine dis-activated because it's somehow linked to the japanese immobiliser (??) which was removed to make way for Aust Std immobiliser/alarm.

Interesting... im pretty sure mine has the Aust Std and Jap.

Is there somewhere you can check under the bonnet to see where/what the immobiliser is installed?

can't be bothered. best person to ask is Chris Rogers. he did my alarm/immobiliser and removed the whole scotch lock of japanese immobiliser thing which I sent to Warren (waz) as he was interested in that tangling cable...

yeah. he mentioned something about being possible to rewire my drop-down mirror button to the reverse gear selector, but the trick is getting the mirror to tilt down far enough when reversing and stop when it reach the lowest mirror angle (rather than having the motor keep turning on and prematurely wear out or damaged the motor itself), plus a problem of 'remembering' the original mirror position when the gear selector is moved out of reverse position.

there should be another button somewhere... to turn on / off that feature...

can I ask you, after you finished reversing do your mirrors go back up when you put it out of reverse?

yeah its only wen u shift in reverse that it drops down after it resumes the standard position.

yeah i'm also wondering whether or not u can stop the drop-down from occurring =/

On my V35 there is a toggle switch under the drivers side, just above where your right knee would sit, small and just says "auto" on it...

UNDER UNDER though...

I think its an awesome feature, make's reversing a breeze! =)

      All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.

      ATTESSA and pressure switches

      By MrStabby · Posted

      Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?

      Rebuild vs second hand NEO?

      By Butters · Posted

      10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
