Ive owned my car for nearly a year now and thought the one option it doesn't have that most Jap cars have is the switch to make the mirrors fold in... then the other day the misses was out in my car, she was playing around adjusting the mirrors, hit a tiny switch above the directional mirror controls and the mirrors folded in!!

Just thought id share as theres probably many other people out their that didnt know the Stagea has this feature :D

It's another one of those features that makes you realise how pov Aussie cars were at the time compared to what their JDM counterparts were coming out with back in 97-99. My Stag had it too, was good for the multi-story car parks here in Newy. :D

All stags have them :D

I want to work out a relay on lock they fold in and unlock out they come would be sweet!

Yeah, I think a majority of Japanes cars had them fitted, due to the space constraints in Japan.

That would be cool setting them up like that. I never use mine as my passenger side mirror sticks about half-way when it's folding back out again, and if I don't have someone in the car with me, it's hard to operate the switch and give the mirror a helping nudge at the same time.

Nick pull the mirror off (3 screws underneath) and give everything you can see a spray of wd40 or crc or something along those lines should help it out a bit.

Yep, been thinking about doing this for ages, Chris, it's just a matter of me getting off my lazy arse to do it.

Now that I've got my O2 sensor here, I should do it while I'm actually out spending time working on the car.

My ones fold in on lock and out on key in ignition switched to acc...

the fold switch has 3 settings

Manual Fold In (switch to the left)

Do Nothing (switch to centre)

Manual Fold Out (switch to right)

now if i leave my switch to the right, when i lock the car with the remote, the mirrors will fold in.

when i unlock the door, the mirrors stay in

when i put my key into ignition and turn to acc(first click) mirrors will fold out.

Not to mention some features Nissan had in 1984 that the Stagea does not have.

1 No reo on the dash lights

2 The feature that let you wind up the elec windows after the key was turned off, without putting the keyback in and turning it on. It was this feature that convinced me to buy my first RMR30.Ti.

the rheostat is a curious one

the feature to wind up after the ignition is switched off is there but only for the driver's door

i also noticed if i just flpi the door lock manualy before closing the door, the mirrors also fold in, must be something to do with the door lock motor controller

      Starting again

      Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]
