C34 Mirror disassembly

Hey, I got a replacement drivers mirror and since it's the wrong colour I wanna repaint the housing. I've it apart for the most part, but haven't got the wiring out of the rubber. Wanting to know if any here knows how to get completely apart.

Where I'm at.

I assume the plug needs to come off? Then pull all the wires through. Is that what you are asking?

Yeah, sorry if my question was poorly worded.

Just wrap it in tape. Yes you could unpin the plug and pull it through but you can break the fitting doing that, and you might put it back together incorrectly...

I took a photo of the wiring order so that ain't a problem. This happens to be the first mirror I've worked on that has electrics.

Yea correct procedure would he take the pins out but that's tough. If you tape the connector and lube it up just gently pull it through 

I may have to try that. Worse comes to worse I may just cut the wires and solder them back together afterwards but I'd rather do it the proper way.

well if you want to depin it, the rear half of the connector will swing up and around which will unlock the pins.  use a sharp pick to lever it up then out of the way.  then each pin will have a plastic locking tab, get the pick under it and the pin will slide out of the connector.  Reassembly is much easier, just push the pins back in then clip the locking tab back onto the rear of the connector...keeping in mind if any pins is out of order you will probably fry something.

Definitely no need to cut

I've gotta figure out why my passenger side mirror is loose.  Any drive I take, the wind pushes the mirror in slightly, and it's at a point where the power motors can't fold it back out again.  Not sure if there are gears in there or springs to hold it in place, but something isn't working as it should...

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
