Hey guys

My folding mirrors work fold in, fold out when setting the switch left and right. I just have a really quick (possibly dumb) question regarding the middle setting. Searched it but couldn't find anything concrete.

When set to the middle setting, are the mirrors supposed to fold in and out automatically when the car is started like some other cars??

If so, I guess it means mine aren't working but I'm not about to look any further into it if the middle setting is just there for the sake of it.

I have found that selecting the middle setting during fold-in/fold-out causes it to pause half way.

yer mine doesnt do anything when it's in the middle position.

think it just means the circuit is open.

only other thing i can think of is most euro cars, when the switch is in the middle position the mirrors or on heat or piezo function - but i'd say only cars with cold weather packs would have that if at all......dont know for a fact so speculation only.

i wouldnt go tearing stuff apart. and to be honest, i play with my switches as little as possible. i've had one motor sieze up before and stop working momentarily - so now i just leave them alone.

Its the "off" position

You can buy a relay to make them fold in and out on central locking from SAU somewhere.....

In regards to the heated mirrors, yes some cars do have them and they turn on with the rear window demister.... I have a pair of them here that im not using if anyone wants to make an offer.

Pretty sure mine are the heated mirrors, which i find ironic given that i live in townsville, nth qld. haha been cold for us the last couple days (8 degrees) and i start work at 5am so have been figuring out buttons on the way to work and yeah when i turned rear demister on mirrors defogged really quickly.

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
