the electric folding function on my mirrors doesnt work very well, i have to "help" the mirrors fold in. i think the motoros need a clean out, or something has seized a little.

anyone know how to get them apart to clean the motors?

ive had the mirror off, and the mirror off the pivot plate, but i cant get the motor out of the mirror itself. ideas people?

thanks. Nigel

ours did exactly the same thing - so I took it all apart- found there was a screw missing - replaced the screw with the nearest equivalent I could find - put it all back together again - and it started working!

I have the same problem with my mirrors they won't fold in. They did a year or so ago and then didn't work. I think it might be the case of a wire or something has come lose as when you click the switch nothing happens not even a motor noise it's as if it's completely dead?

nissan dealership wanted to charge me 600 dollars for the entire mirror assembly and about 300-and-something for the folding motor. i think i can live without it

      IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
