Hey guys

My folding mirrors work fold in, fold out when setting the switch left and right. I just have a really quick (possibly dumb) question regarding the middle setting. Searched it but couldn't find anything concrete.

When set to the middle setting, are the mirrors supposed to fold in and out automatically when the car is started like some other cars??

If so, I guess it means mine aren't working but I'm not about to look any further into it if the middle setting is just there for the sake of it.

I have found that selecting the middle setting during fold-in/fold-out causes it to pause half way.

yer mine doesnt do anything when it's in the middle position.

think it just means the circuit is open.

only other thing i can think of is most euro cars, when the switch is in the middle position the mirrors or on heat or piezo function - but i'd say only cars with cold weather packs would have that if at all......dont know for a fact so speculation only.

i wouldnt go tearing stuff apart. and to be honest, i play with my switches as little as possible. i've had one motor sieze up before and stop working momentarily - so now i just leave them alone.

Its the "off" position

You can buy a relay to make them fold in and out on central locking from SAU somewhere.....

In regards to the heated mirrors, yes some cars do have them and they turn on with the rear window demister.... I have a pair of them here that im not using if anyone wants to make an offer.

Pretty sure mine are the heated mirrors, which i find ironic given that i live in townsville, nth qld. haha been cold for us the last couple days (8 degrees) and i start work at 5am so have been figuring out buttons on the way to work and yeah when i turned rear demister on mirrors defogged really quickly.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
