It might be power for auto switching the mirror from day to night mine does. It also has a button to turn it off. Does yours have a button on it. Or some sort of light sensor on it.

I just noticed today that there is a small electrical cable running to the in cab rear vision mirror, but can't find any switches.

Whatsitfor???

I believe it feeds a small heater element in the mirror to act as a demister. The spec lists for many, particularly later model M35's list rear vision mirrors demisters as a standard feature. Whether that's internal or exterior mirrors, I can't say.

I think the Heater element might be the answer.

There is a switch under the mirror but it seems to be purely mechanical and I can,t see any sensors or switches to turn it on and off.

What stag. What size and offset are your rims?

its probably a wire for the factory security system. i have mine still on the car. i really should remove it!

did you get a key fob with a remote start function on it?

No remote start key. Just a keyless entry key.

I have remote start... and I have wires too... no friggin idea what they are for...?

Why would we have a heater element for an internal mirror?

Incase someone leaves their windows down on a frosty/winter night... I've done it ;):) Got in the car next morning inside windows and mirror frosted over haha

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
