ok just noticed last night that when I go to reverse, my wing mirrors wont dip anymore. All functionality are working fine

it just wont dip. Is there a switch located on the auto lever hiding somewhere? and how to remove the plate to have a look? Is this a common fault on a stageas?

There is a little button down near you "right knee" little round push button. Thats where it is on mine. Hope this helps

God I felt like a dumb ass!! :unsure: I tried the button and wing mirrors back to normal again, I must have knocked it when I was wiring up my front doors

for courtesy lights. Thank you Josh. ;)

i didnt know i had it untill i got my first service done when they done a computer diagnostic check and they dipped after that but they stopped working again after a week or so.

so its handy to know there is a button to turn them on and off :)

Do yours work ok?

With mine when you put it back in drive they move up a tiny bit more than they move down so after a couple of times they're way off. So I just leave them off

That happens with mine as well, although more so with the passenger mirror. I've just got used to every so often flicking the mirror joystick to lower it.

Along with the auto dipping function on mine the mirrors also automatically fold in when I lock the car and unfold when I start the motor.

What I don't understand is why they don't install the auto switch near the power mirror controls, then the button would make more sense to people. Still, it is exciting discovering extra features later on.

There are aftermarket devices that can easily be fitted to any car with power mirrors such as this one from http://www.LaneFX.com/ . The settings on this one can be adjusted and it has other features such as blind spot cover when changing lanes. I was planning on fitting this to my R31 but first I have to install power mirrors to the "pov pack".

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
