Not really random if you follow the thread...I have been the one checking on this and am the one who started the thread, and I need the service manual so I can compare the JDM part numbers given to me for the mirror components to the US ones.

If you don't have the service manual, why even comment?

 

His post wasn't random at all, this thread is about integrating the OEM mirror tilt feature found on the Skyline with the G35.

Do you want the service manual or the parts book? I don't think the service manual gives detailed part numbers.

 

dang, this sounds like a nice mod. i've been tilting my mirrors manually when i parrallel park. fold in feature would be cool, but the tilt is i want. i tried to read as much of the thread as possible. seems like things are still in the works. i'll check back to see how things are progressing. thanks for all the hard work and effort. =)

 

I was going to try and use the service manual and parts catalog together. I have the service manual but haven't figured out what controls the mirrors yet, and if a new ECM would be needed to have the power fold in. Now, I am thinking more along the lines of doing the tilt only.

 

Take a look at the gw.pdf file, you should find all power mirror stuff in there. The manual power mirrors are extremely basic, with all controls being done with the switch contacts.

 

Kevin, I don't know if you can figure anything out from the installation instructions Yoshi san gave me because it's in Japanese, but I was just wanting to make sure this thing is going to work on a G35 instead of V35. I am an mechanical engineer so I am an electronics idiot.

If you look at page 10 of the installation instructions below, it has the schematic, but it nearly impossible to read so I am trying to get a better copy of it so we can understand how this thing is wired up.

Ha! My Japanese is a 'bit' rusty.....

I'll take a look at them a little later and see if I can gather anything from the pictures. Have you been able to get a price for just the tilt mirror? If we can get the mirror it would be plausable to build our own control system.

 

I am under the impression that the mirror is exactly the same for tilt feature, and we would only be buying the control system. Price for the control unit, harness, and some other parts that we do not need will be $265.13 plus ~$40 for shipping.

 

Those pics are really too small to gain any knowledge with them. From the looks of it there is an unused plug under the steering wheel. I'll keep an eye out for it next time I rip my car apart!

 

So when can we order? hehehehe

 

I Second that!!!!

 

You can order anytime. I was trying to find out more about the power fold-in but have given up on that.

Just send an email to Yoshi san telling him you want the parking support system for a '03~'06 V35: jsgarage [yosi@j-garage.com]

He's out of town right now, though, so you won't hear back from him until probably Monday.

I also added the pictures of the tilt down feature since it seems the ones in the previous old posts do not show up.

 

so approx. $300 for reverse tilt down feature......

 

Yep

 

I really want to get this, but I'm worried about the difficulty of the installation... Are there english instructions for it? And does the package come with the auto-fold feature?

Also, has anyone installed it and taken pictures of the process?

Thanks!
