Hey everyone!

The other day both my electric mirrors stopped working at the same time.. I have done a fair search on the forum and across the net and couldn't really find much.. All I could come up with is threads where one stops working and the other is fine and everybody seems to say the motor needs rebuilding. But I couldn't find anything about both stopping simultaneously. I really cant see both my mirror motors cutting out at the exact same time so I think I could almost rule out the motors. But you never know I suppose! :P

All I think it could be is possibly a fuse or the switch has crapped itself? The only thing which has me doubting the switch itself is I can still adjust the mirror glass itself up and down and left and right..

Does anybody know if there is a fuse for the electric mirrors? My fuse diagrams are both in Japanese obviously and I have found English diagrams but couldn't really come up with a definite fuse. I would like to try a fuse before I chase up a switch.

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers Pete

The fold In part or the actual mirror movement?

If its mirror movement then im not sure about you but I rarely adjust mine so maybe they just failed over time sitting

If its the mirrors folding in and you use them all the time then that may be a different story

This is all a guess, but they may suffer the same problem as R33 mirrors. There are 2 contacts with a single plastic mount to hold them in, they sometimes fall out.

Have a look at the guide for the R33 mirrors (Pretty sure there is one in the DIY section)

If they are anything like the R33 mirrors, they arent too hard to pull apart, just a bit fiddly to get everything packed back inside. If your up to it, try pulling them apart and having a look

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
