was looking at gettin some new mirrors for my car similar to the craft square and c west ones. but i cant really justify spending 600+ on a set of mirrors as i can imagine them gettin knocked off or broken easily.

so was looking at some cheaper sets but noticed they didn come with the triangle base plate to attach to the door in the orginal postion. this is on a r33 gts by the way as the electric mirrors when removed leave a ugly space behind.

my question is does any body know where i can get some cheaper mirrors with the base plates or get some base plates and fit the mirrors my self or any other option??

cheers guys coops

yeah saw the flying performance ones and they appeared abit on the dodge side so wasn to keen on them.

where to find them, Just Jap and Viva Garage is all i have found so far but ebay as well. ebay is always your friend haha

i was thinking of cutting the old mirror of the base then working on that part by bit of filler and sanding and then painting it black. what do you guys reckon work a treat or not??

cheers coops

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
