R34 Gtt Electric Mirrors Both Stopped Working

Hey everyone!

The other day both my electric mirrors stopped working at the same time.. I have done a fair search on the forum and across the net and couldn't really find much.. All I could come up with is threads where one stops working and the other is fine and everybody seems to say the motor needs rebuilding. But I couldn't find anything about both stopping simultaneously. I really cant see both my mirror motors cutting out at the exact same time so I think I could almost rule out the motors. But you never know I suppose! :P

All I think it could be is possibly a fuse or the switch has crapped itself? The only thing which has me doubting the switch itself is I can still adjust the mirror glass itself up and down and left and right..

Does anybody know if there is a fuse for the electric mirrors? My fuse diagrams are both in Japanese obviously and I have found English diagrams but couldn't really come up with a definite fuse. I would like to try a fuse before I chase up a switch.

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers Pete

The fold In part or the actual mirror movement?

If its mirror movement then im not sure about you but I rarely adjust mine so maybe they just failed over time sitting

If its the mirrors folding in and you use them all the time then that may be a different story

This is all a guess, but they may suffer the same problem as R33 mirrors. There are 2 contacts with a single plastic mount to hold them in, they sometimes fall out.

Have a look at the guide for the R33 mirrors (Pretty sure there is one in the DIY section)

If they are anything like the R33 mirrors, they arent too hard to pull apart, just a bit fiddly to get everything packed back inside. If your up to it, try pulling them apart and having a look

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
