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.

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.

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... ;-)

Hahaha sorry to bring up old posts but this cracked me up.... What side is the steering wheel on ??

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.

      Arm ball joint

      By Duncan · Posted

      No, 260RS/4wd stagea is 33 GTR/GTS4 double wishbone all round, not struts. The 2wd cars are confusingly strut front. At there rear there is one balljoint at the outer end of the lower control arm. If you have HICAS (my Stagea doesn't, but I think 260RS did, there will be a balljoint of sorts where the HICAS arm attaches to the rear of the hub At the front, there are ball joints either end of the lower control arm, plus the tie rod end for the steering arm

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      So, 2 months later, I just couldn't see any way to be happy with that tank setup. Basically the baffle area is too big and too leaky, the sender was miles off and the no low fuel light thing really bugs me. Other than the fact the fuel hat could safely supply enough power to the pump, it was worse than factory. Biggest thing that bugged me is it would still run out of fuel in medium-high g corners from about 1/4 tank down which is annoying when you are trying to have a zoom, not to mention potentially engine killing if it gets just the right amount of lean-ness....and we've got a few of those corners in our round trip to town (well, bunnings...) So, credit to Frenchy's, they have put together a much better designed setup with what is effectively an in tank surge setup.   As it happens the actual hat is the same, so I switched the fittings across, re-used the single 525 pump, and added a spare pierburg lift pump that I had (must remember to replace that stock, it was a spare for the race car). The only real work to get it all done was to add a second power and earth to the hat which I did by going from a single output to double output relay (very low draw on the lift pump) and also the sender unit that clips into the factory pump holder was again way too loose (so I re-used the 2mm shims from the previous setup). Finally, I added the low fuel light sender from the factory cradle. So....I'll report back how it handles low fuel, and if the sender has any relation to actual fuel level in the tank....

      The price isn't the issue, it's how hard my fuel pump is to remove now. I fabricated a custom bracket so my pump sits on the very bottom of the tank (I ran the tank down to 5L remaining to test it, works well). But it is a fkn NIGHTMARE to get the pump down into the tank now =/ words can't describe how much I hate fighting with the fuel pump/hanger now. The other issue is reliability, I'm driving down for WTA in a couple of months, I'd be less then impressed if I was half way to Sydney from Brisbane and my pump fails again =/ The other issue I had was my car battery was slowly failing, with low battery voltage my fuel pump couldn't keep up with what the reg was asking from it. I've replaced the battery and my fuel pressure is back to being perfect.  As for the low voltage situation that killed my previous battery, I've got a 150amp alternator sitting on my desk waiting to go in. Fingers crossed that will sort that issue.
