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

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
