Hi All,

I purchased another set of wing mirrors for my S1 Stagea as they were advertised to have the factory heaters in them... Anyway I pulled my current ones off and they have the same looms as the new ones but one plug of the plugs (two pin) isnt plugged into anything. And I cant seem to find where to plug it into....

Could some one with the factory heaters in working condition pull a door skin and take some snaps and maybe even chase the wire back to see what I need to modify?

Im sure chook or Kiwi will be aware of what im talking about!

Cheers,

Chris

I could have a look next monday, are you sure your car was a 'cold area' version, you have the windscreen elements as well ? i would think one plug would be the mirror motors and other the heater, but only on Cold area cars.

also there is a rear fog light instead of a second reverse light.

BTW the windscreen de-icer is on a seperate switch but like Bob said the mirrors work of the main demister switch.

AFAIK all of those items (cold area kit) came together - so if you had one you should have them all

(Oh, that and rust from driving on salted roads - pretty sure that is a feature of the cold area kit too)

Ok so these are the two plugs on the 4 mirrors Ive got/had... My car has a loom for the larger 5 pin plug on both sides but only drivers side has loom for the smaller 2 pin plug even though both mirrors have it. Is that the mirror heaters?

chris id say the only way to find the answer to this is going to be to switch ur rear demisted on and crack out the volt meter!

either that or go ghetto spec with a switch to acc power.. :S still dont reallllllly c the point in it all lol

A guy on the English stagea forum had this too, Heated mirror on drivers side and no wiring in the door for it on the passenger side.

He extended the wires and wired it into the rear demister with no ill effects .

I haven't got any !

No wiring, No heated mirrors .. Bugger all.. :)

my guess is both people have had one or the other door replaced with the wrong one at some time.

LOL!!

Wish I had done my homework and found this thread before I got all excited about getting heated mirrors (from kidafa no less)

Pulled the door car off and wtf??!! Mr Nissan didnt put the plug there for me! So I get on here and this is what I find lol

Never mind though wasnt why I bought them.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
