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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
