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.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
