Im lookin to get the s14 mirrors for my s14, but im hoping its not something like the digital climate control that i couldnt get to work.

well take off your fixed mirror and see if there is a plug in there that isn't plugged.

well i dont have em yet i just dont want to spent $ on them and it be a project i cant do without certain things. I bought the digital climate control a while back thinking it would be a simple project but low and behold i still have it sitting in my room, I dont what the mirrors to sit and collect dust like my climate control.

i want to get those for my car too, i would imagine all you have to do is run wire from the mirrors to the switchit should all be color coded, seems pretty str8 forward but i dunno

hey.. do you think you can get hook-ups on S14 headlights form there? since they are glass in Europe!?!?!?!?!?!

I picked mine up for about 70 shipped off ebay with the switch and all. Comparing the two switches there are two extra wires coming out of the new switch. I'm thinking I'll have to run a pair of wires to each mirror to the switch to get it all done. Anyone else done an install yet?

I'm in the same boat, any luck s-14boy? i've looked at the jdm mirror install for the civic, which i'm thinking will be similiar... i've surmized that guide on that one provided the option for a radio shack relay incase the jdm switch was not included to replace your existing one. i'm gunna do it sometime this week. Might need to get some wire for the switch to have it fold, ran from the control switch out. Anybody else got info?

even a scan from a JDM service manual on this would help. or where to get an s13 service manual

er an s14 for the newer cars.. info would definitly be in there... thanks for reading this.

Yeah no luck on em, I cant even find any to buy now. I would think that theres a relay between the switch and mirror but im not sure, I looked in the Australian FSM but I guess they didnt have em either.

Post by **whitebeau** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

haven't had time to check, but came across this site. it might have the info.

Have u tried that last one u posted, http://www.silvia.hl.com.au/techinfo.asp, I cant get the software it says u have to download to decompress the files.

Hey if you ever decide to go that route Boy give me a mail... Its definately something that sparks my interest, and I may be able to help, as Im pretty decent with wires and am local.

Im checking the FSM now btw. And you need winRAR to decompress them....

It seems from both the BT and EL section that the aussie 200sx is like our in offering only electric controlls of the mirror itself. I didnt see anything in the wring that would go to a a motor to allow it to fold.

If the motor and harness out is in the jdm mirror then it would be as easy as tapping into the relay and power and wiring up a switch. You could also possibly use a set of momentary power window switches, so that down would go in and up would come out, and rest would be nuetral. Run one for each, in the blanks / coin holders location next to the pm controlls.

Well the japanese one comes with a switch if you can find em, in the past year ive seen it on ebay like 2 times and they go for an arm and a leg. But, yeah like u said 96_S14 im sure its not too hard.

Post by **whitebeau** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

i managed to get mine for 112 on eBay for my 240sx/s13. it came with the side mirrors, and the harness/switch with the additional folding option on it. yeah i'm gunna have to do a relay i guess

and run wire out. I think the info in the scanned service manual is for the Australia version, and i couldn't find info either, but that gave a better idea on how the mirrors/USA modelwork

..

Not sure when i'll have time to get this installed, just got an X-Box for my bday, and a desk. which needs to be assembled LOL "that alone will take 5+ hours" HUGE desk. i'll post soons i'm done.

Post by **S-14boy** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

I just had a thought, Im not sure if any other Nissans came with folding mirrors in the US but u could check around I guess too, or maybe an Infiti. See if you can get a copy from the FSM from the dealership. Just a thought.

Post by **Dragon240** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

I just installed my JDM folders today.. The wiring will be quite easy.. I just removed the two wires from the new plug and stuck 'em in my old one. Then I gots to run a wire (pair) to each door. I ran short jumpers to test works fine..

Only thing is being as they are from a right hand drive I gotta figure out how to switch the glass. "Objects are closer than they appear" Enemy #1. It's backwards for a US car.. Everything is bubbly and out of place in the driver side and the passenger side won't look in the right direction (I can watch the curb pass by in my psngr side mirror.. Other than that they are pretty swank.

i dont know if this helps you guys,it didnt help me but i have the wiring diagrams from a jdm s14 and a CAed s13, and the usdm nissan dealers manual for a 92 s13 but even with all that the power folding mirrors i bought are in my closet. if someone has these things working on their car please email me a diagram. my car doesnot have power mirrors stock. please don't think im retarded ive done my share of swaps but this info is readily available.i can email people some of those diagrams but please dont over load me with request.i will help people to a reasonable point

Post by **danny** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

I've done this mirror thing on my S13,I had to use 2 relays and a switch,I could give you guys the diagram on how i wired them if you guys are still stuck

Post by **S-14boy** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

yeah danny if you could give me the diag that would be cool, I was never able to get my hands on the mirrors that I found but am still looking. but i wouldnt mind having the diag for future reference.

Post by **Neona** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

i want to see the diag, email me? [email protected]

Post by **MaineExport** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

I'm confused. My s14 has electric mirrors that fold in. I was under the impression that this was a pretty typical option. What makes the JDM ones so special or different?

Post by **TomsMR2** » Sat Jan 11, 2003 7:29 pm

because they're HEWWA JDM TYTE D000D!!!1

ive had stock folding mirrors on all my cars.. and ive never found any reason to fold the mirrors in..
