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

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
