This is a common problem with all skylines aswell

I did a search 2 weeks ago on the same thing as my r33 mirrors had stop folding in

The general reason is the motor are stuffed and needs to be replaced

Have a look thru the skyline maintenance section for some solutions

Check first you are getting power at the mirror.

Otherwise find some secondhand mirrors that work.

I've got a 23yo Skyline and the mirrors still work.

Make sure you are getting power to the mirror first

There is 2 motor's in each mirror

1 is for the folding function the other is to tilt the mirror

If the tilt is working, then the motor for the folding function is the problem

My r33 mirror's died within 2 weeks of each other, it was only a 1995 model, half the age of a "23 year old" car

Also ripp the door trim off and check to see that the plug just hasnt come slighty undone..?

To get the mirrors to fold in automatically on my Series 2, I have to make sure that the switch close to the mirror toggle switch is pushed to the right. Mirrors then fold in automatically when the doors are locked. Dont know whether this is your problem?

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
