Auto Swing Mirrors?

Am in the process of removing a cheap crappy alarm fitted to my R34 4 door and replacing it with a better one. Found the trigger points for the passenger doors ok and figured out how to trigger drivers door. On removing drivers door trim to check wiring i found this box wired into the mirror switch. From some research I believe it to be the module for the auto swing away mirrors. It had been disconnected but I would love to see if I could reinstate it. One side goes to the mirror switch and is plug and play. The other three wires however have me guessing. I split the box and they are marked on the circuit board as follows.

B+ (Straight 12v or Acc/On ?)

Earth (Obvious)

Sig (Trigger wire possibly?)

Its the signal wire that has me stumped. Am presuming that it was connected to the dealer/factory remote central locking to which I didnt get a remote for and was activated when you locked the doors either by key or remote. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks Chris. My mirror unit has only three B+ Earth & Sig as well as the leads for the mirror switch. Guess I am gonna have to play around a little.

Sorted. Thanks Chris. you were right in that they take their power and signal from the keyless entry module. Power from pin three and signal from pin six. At first there was nothing. Had the switch on the door in the neutral position thinking that the module overrode the switch function. Wrong it has to be switched to the out position to work. A bit of buggerising around but is now working. Hit the lock key on my remote and the mirrors swing in. Turn the ignition on and they swing out. Cool little feature with no real use here except for the novelty factor I guess.

Hand for tight street parking. Or in my case Redcliffe street parking where the idiots get within 2" of your car and destroy mirror housings.

yes. i once got back to my car with the driver side mirror facing outwards.....i was very pissed off but the person/car that did it was no longer there.

Mine is a factory nissan accessory item. Read on another post that someone used a jaycar module for auto window rollup to do the same thing.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
