Better off just turning your head..

Also not sure if Ganadors are like the cheapo ebay ones I have, if so they are angled for RHD, so the passenger side won't even adjust far enough.

This is the worst. I have GKTech mirrors and have the same problem. But they look cool right?!?

thx for all the responses, I often check for blind spots anyway but hearing how bad the visibility is kinda leaning me not to keep them. Also i plan on hitting the track with the car every so often. This is a tough decision...

the visibility on an s14 is super high anyway, you only need those mirrors to change lanes and back up. I can see perfectly fine with my ganadors. But hopping in my 240 after driving my sentra, I semi miss having a bathroom mirror on both sides of my car lol.

Nah GKTech ones look terrible.

Slap some of those blind spot mirrors from autozone so you can view more.

why would you have to cut your wires ..if its a real Ganador it should be plug and play

I modified mine and made a bracket so I could fit and use the stock motor. Works better than the stock ganadors and will last longer. One way to go about it.

Turns out the plug that come with the ganador super mirrors are designed for jdm power folding mirrors. Got them wired up and the visibility isn't too bad, was expecting a lot worst.

lol ganador king of mirrors.

if u are short like me and your bride chair is far forward , the viewing angle maxed out is fine.

real ganadors are not plug and play , wires will be cut on these USA cars.

I just put stickers of Pamela Anderson on my glass. Can't see jack anyway.
Also Ganadors are gay.

And for people with a base model s13 that don't have powered mirrors can you adjust them by hand by pushing them in the direction you want?

nop, ganador mirrors have 2 screws to adjust the mirror, so you can't just push on it. The motor has to "suck in" the screw

You can push it in if you are careful. If not it will pop off the ball and socket joint. But I moved mine like that. Still doesnt matter, can't see jack. Get a broadway and don't change lanes.

These mirrors have pretty bad viewing angle in my opinion which is why i ended up selling them. Knowing how bad and disrespectful people are on the road are in the city nowadays its nice to have as much vision as possible.
