Just curious as to how many people fold their mirrors in when leaving their babies parked? ;)

I do mine all the time, in my opinion aside from looking cool - it saves the day some random comes by and runs right into your mirror from ever occuring :D

Dont know if the option was on R32s, know it was on 33's, surely it would be on 34's.

The closest I can get to getting them automated is to close the mirrors before you turn the car off, then turn the car off and put the switch back on open.

That way when you hop in and put the keys in next the mirrors will fold out magically, pimps the hell out of any passengers in there at the time :P

Gotta love the nissan parts bin the ceffies got em as well.

I leave mine out unless I think they're going to get them in harms way. I thought about putting them up to my alarm to do it automatically (my friend has it on his GTiR).. but I have to consider wear n tear, it'd be hard to get me a ceffy mirror to replace it.

Not really fussed, but if I remember I fold. What I find annoying is when new passengers to the car (normally lady friends) before entering, tell me someone bumped my mirror in & proceed to manually unfold them, ahhhh!! :bonk:

you haven't had this car for very long have you?

my GTI-R had this and I used it for about a week. the Soarer also has it and the GTR does too. it's fun the first time you see it after that it has limited usefullness.

there is no real point to doing it is there?

there is when you have to park in car parks alot, especially shopping center car parks...,.. alota ppl tend to jst not care if they hit your car or somehting like that, i seriously have a vengance against them types of people.

I only do it in my garage.

I reckon it looks kewl and chix love it (no really...I can't work it out, but they do) but I know too many people that are 'kind' enough to 'fix' the mirror up on your behalf, I havn't done it but i am guessing it would cause damage if someone ripped it back into place, honestly trying to help

No need to do it, I never park close enough to other cars. If someone could bump my mirrors they could bump my doors (THATS NOT ON). I tend to park in 2 carparks at a time and wait in the car whilst the wife goes in to get whatever at the shops.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
