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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
