I have the switch as well but they don't fold when I close then they only fold when I put the switch down when I put it back to the middle or top they go back out ( if left on any top bottom or middle they still don't auto fold when I lock the car or turn on the cAr)

ok i should have mentioned there are TWO kits.

one dips the mirrors when going into reverse, VERY handy IMO

the other kit folds the mirrors in when you lock the car. but im told the factory switch MUST be in the 'up' position. that would be the fold-out position.

in the middle setting, it does nothing, in the 'down' setting, they will be always folded in.

Yes, there are separate switches for this.

(on my car....)

to the left is the "auto-fold" switch, this is as described above.

under my right leg, under the wheel is a small push button switch which toggles the auto-tilt.

the auto tilt for reverse?

i should buy a kit, kick ass addition IMO

No not always. The "tilt" is good only for backing into a kerb parking space. Normal reversing is a PITA with it on. The fold in option is ok for tight spaces but again you don't want it on 27/7. Both options dont return the mirror to the pre-set angle which again is a PITA.

in every setting, (up, down, middle.) the mirrors wont fold in when I lock the car. :)

Mine do... The mirror tilt is always by a fixed amount, that is adjustable I think, so it then returns to it's orgional position when you go from reverse into drive. And with the folding, it always returns to the indented position.. :blush:

Mine Don't. I should add that when folding the housing always returns to stock but my mirrors do not, not 100% of the time. :D

And the tilt rarely returns the mirror to the preset angle as well. So needless to say I use neither unless it really calls for it.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
