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 stop working when the alarm installer installed the alarm... brough it back to him and told him the problem, he checked all the connections he did on the car and found out he forgot to attached one ground to the body, (which is under the dash). tried it and works fine....

cheers!

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.

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
