Get comfortable, this could be a long post...

So I am buying some bits and pieces from the US at the moment, and after reading 'WAZR32GTSt's topic (HERE) on installing a Homelink mirror I bought one from the G35 forums. It was delivered to my cousin in New York who subsequently took a photo of the plug, which I hoped was the same as the plug I already have on my one. Long story short is that it is different, and further down (post 13) in the above topic 'n15m0' puts up a couple of pics of the back of his mirror (from a series 2) which is exactly the same as mine.

So as it turned out n15m0 found out that the plug has to be plugged into the mirror for the intelligent key to work. But heres the thing... I dont have the intelligent key and for me it still doesn't work. So here come my questions...

1) What the hell is in the the S2 mirror that makes it control the central locking?

2) Based on the answer to Q1, am I stuck with the standard mirror now (I'm thinking so), in which case, does this mean it would be possible for me to purchase and switch to an intelligent key?

3) If I were to get the mirror I bought sent over anyway, is there anyone (series 1 only) interested in buying it and a brand new plug and wiring harness (3 wires only)?

Chris Rogers, why do I get the feeling you are my only hope for an answer to Q1 and 2!!

BTW, for those going 'What the hell is an intelligent key?' heres your answer... Yes its cool.

Have a look at the pic's in WAZ's thread, its exactly the same as that. I really wanted it so I dont need remotes for the gate and roller door at my house but I hear the autodimming is very good also. It cost me $50US and $30US for the plug and wiring kit. Postage... I'll wear most of that since I'm sending over a box anyway, so at .77AUD conversion, call it $110.

I've got the exact same mirror. Mine however does not work with garage, as chris said - working on radio frequency. It only has a set radio frequency which does not relate to the frequency of the garage door so it cant be used for me.

The auto dimming is excellent though.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
