They're clearly Nissan Japan made, stamped right into them in the pics. And that Folding mirror switch is definately Nissan made, the harnesses are the extra give-away.

All the components are at least assembled in Japan by Nissan, hardly any aftermarket stuff is made in Japan, and certainly not aftermarket chinsy replica mirrors.






It's possible that I may have to switch the internals side to side because the adjustment level of the mirror that is farther from the driver is usually less. In this case, I'm switching which mirror is closest to me, so I might be short on usable adjustment. I'll know whenever I get them and am able to test it.

All JDM/TDM Nissans are made in Japan as far as I know. I know the G35/V35 is for sure.

Yes, I do feel bad, it's not really proper to steal something out from someone who was inquiring about a product to a trusting community of fellow entusiasts. Didn't your mother teach you any values at all??

No doubt they were made by Nissan, if they are indeed from a RHD Skyline V35 you'll notice they angled exactly the opposite way from your USDM mirrors.

Nissan has some parts manufactured in Taiwan, but as far as I know not for G35s.

Man they got here stupid fast!


Now I have to tear them apart
Puddle lights, signals, swapping internals side to side, and installing heated glass elements. Then the wiring. I'm going to find a way to hook them up so they fold in on "key-off" and out once in "ACC"

I have always wondered why the G didn't come like that when my 03 (04 USDM) Accord had them. Love those and wouldn't mind seeing a write up of how you do it. especially if you can get them to automatically close I wouldn't need the button.

I'll do up a thread on it prolly when I get some pictures and progress done, hopefully I'll have tehm apart tonight.

This option is only really for 'cool' factor in North america, we don't really have an issue with parking like they do in Japan.

True unless you go to my school where every spot is marked for "compact cars" I used to drive a mini that's a damn small spot and it feels like I am back in Oki.
And honestly I would rather it than the some of the other JDM mods out there

Yeah it's pretty cool. Really too bad that they're not as cool as the Cefiro ones though, i was going to get these if I kept my maxima, the fold up butterfly style they're freaking sick.

IDK I kinda like the tucked in out of the way look. But then again I also hate all chrome on my G so I am probably a little odd

from my experience from nissan jdm folding mirrors, the jdm glass lack defrosters. also the angle is off so you'd have to swap bases with the usdm mirrors

Link to this auction of which you speak? I was going to modify the existing one but if I can get the actual jdm one that would be better.

I like my chrome, flows well with my wheels.


And I really like these mirrors but I'm electrically challenged so I couldn't use them lol.

It would be nice if the OP was able to take pics along the way and do a DIY thread
