Group buy?

 

Thats cool, when i knocked the mirror off my g20 i paid 180 to get it painted and replaced......Very cool mod though, saying youhave 350 lying around or you have a real reason to replace the mirrors....

 

if it turns out to be only under $400 for the mod, which includes the fold-down mirrors, automatic fold-in feature, and stock alarm, it would be a great mod. and once we find out the details of the alarm, it may turn out to be a must-have mod if it turns out to be a 2 way remote alarm system.

so, let's get on the ball and find out the details!!!!

 

I am working on it. There's just a long turn around time because Yoshi san is in Japan. Believe me I want this mod too!

I'll ask about the two way alarm, but basically, you get all three. It looks like the alarm is two-way. Even if it's not, I'd still pay $350 for the tilt donw mirrors because it would cost more than that to repair one curbed wheel! Think of it as preventive maintenance.

 

How involved would be the install?

 

i just found these pics on the nissan japan site. unfortunately, it looks like the remote will be in japanese. hopefully we can change it to english. if there are any japanese members here, please translate this webpage for us:

i'm in, please keep me posted!

 

You will not be able to 'change' that remote since the LCD screen is not dot-matrix... those icons/text are fixed LCD graphics, on or off thats it.

Bummer.

Now that key fob on the other hand - WANT IT, NEED IT! please keep that alive!

The only kanji on that LCD is at the top, it simply means "Someone is f'n with your car".

 

remote entry lights are 215.25USD + shipping (~$40) + 5% commission.

Yoshi san said that the built-in remote key is "difficult to arrange ... at present".

For the tilt down mirrors, he is confirming if it's RH only or both mirrors tilt down. If it ends up being RH only, I'll ask about retrofitting the kit to LH mirror as well.

And the winner of the guinea pig "go for it" award goes to........

1. ?

 

If I can get a better idea of the parts the kit includes and some basic schematics of the system, I'll be the guinea pig, and this will be my first mod on my G.

I am still waiting to hear back from Yoshi to see if he can send any installation papers or repair manual schematics and see if it's the RH mirror only. If it's the RH mirror only, I am trying to find out if I can buy the extra part(s) needed to retrofit it on the LH side as well. If I can just get him to tell me what parts are in the kit and send me a schematic, it would make this so much easier.

 

in other luxury cars that i've driven, i remember that both mirrors would turn downward when the car is put into reverse.

 

I agree with Z2G, when I drove the Acura TL, I thought both mirrors tilted down when the car was shifted into reverse.
