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

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
