Need a RHS door mirror. Came back one day and noticed the black housing (part attached to the door/window) was cracked and mirror was hanging on its side :-( need to get the sorted ASAP. Epoxy and duct tape isn't holding very well.

Im located in Sydney btw.

Hi Tai. Which side are you referring to as RHS? Passenger or driver? I'm after a silver mirror for the passenger side, but I don't want to hijack your post if we're after the same item... ;-)

Because if you are looking at the car front on, RHS is passenger. ..

Lol.. Left and Right are relative to the observer? :) I wish I had thought of that in school when the teacher said 'raise your right hand' :)

?? how can 'Right Hand Side' mean anything other than the drivers side?? (in Australia)

Hmm... you didn't try googling it before your comment I'd bet. There's threads on it, mainly because people aren't sure. So, if I ask the question in the post, then we're all on the same page. No harm, no cost.

So, I'm after a KY0 Brilliant Silver mirror for a Series II coupe (passenger, LHS) - I'm advised... :happy:

sorry, I didn't intend to offend.. just was struggling (and still am) to understand how the RHS of a car or anything else could ever be anything but the RHS.. unless the front/rear of the object wasn't immediately obvious.

And your right.. I didn't Google, the idea that this was difficult to understand never crossed my mind..

No problem. It's like Trav said - its a perspective thing. Anyway, I thought I'd ask.

And these suckers are harder to find 2nd-hand than I expected...

It isn't like you are looking for an uncommon colour either!!

Maybe they are commonly damaged and therefore sought after??

Is it the same as a Stagea mirror? I have a silver M35 coming down here for wrecking soon...

Hi Scott. I really don't know but I checked out some images and I suspect the two models are different. I was also thinking that if the triangular mount was the same fit, if I got a pair it wouldn't matter but I'm not sure if that's the same either...

It's probably too big a risk, so thanks anyway. Stuart

OK team, I let my fingers do the typing and searched through Trading Post, Gumtree, eBay, japanese wreckers, etc for a used silver coupe mirror. No luck. However, I ended up finding this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-07-G35-Coupe-2-Door-Door-Mirror-Right-Passenger-Power-Heated-/131083085130?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AInfiniti%7CModel%3AG35&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e8529254a

Is black, but I could either paint it or leave it to see how it looks with other black trim on the car. Decided to run with the latter, so bought one for the other side to match. All up for heated mirror assembly both sides $180AUS shipped. The order was also shipped the same day so don't think I'll be waiting too long either.

I'll post what the quality is like when they arrive, if anyone is interested.

Umm. Do you realize left and right door mirrors are angled differently? If these are for a LHD car you might not be able to get the mirrors to adjust far enough to line the up for a RHD car.

Note- given previous posts, I thought I had better clarify Right hand drive is what we have in Aust. :)

Interesting. Know that for a fact given that both sides are by design motor adjustable? Anyway, what is done is done. I could't get what I needed here...

yes, both sides are motor adjustable, but the physical housing is angled inward more when in the open position on the passenger side, so if the mirror is set central in the housing, it is roughly in the correct position for the driver. LHD mirror housing will be angled to be roughly correct for the passenger on a RHD car. The motor adjustment may have enough range to correct this, but it will likely be at the extent of the adjustment range.

If you are able to adjust them correctly, then it shouldn't be a big issue.. just thought I would let you know.

OK, cheers. I'll just have to drive leaning more into the left side - or is that the right side? ;)

Hi Stuart

What is the latest update on the mirrors? How is the positioning?

I'm in a similar predicament, my passenger side mirror has snapped off (I was in the city one night, came back from dinner and the mirror was hanging off, I think someone might have kicked it off)

I am also looking to buy from ebay from a US seller, but I am a bit concerned about the different positioning.

I wonder if its possible to use the black housing and screw my silver mirror on it, would save me the hassle of getting it painted silver.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
