I like yours ThatGuy they just seem to have a nice flow and style. The other ones just stand out to much. But is there really that many mirrors for the 240 prob like maybe 5 or 6 different styles idk never really looked.

12-23-2009, 03:45 AM
everyone should know that if you cant see whats in the lane next to you, bend forward in the seat, use mirror, then do your over the shoulder as you move back to your normal seating position.

It's like the first thing I learned from pops...

oh Ganador Mirrors... check.

It's possible you can still make them work I suppose.

Yep, there is the pronged connector- just no harness attached to them. I'll post some pics...

Brian
12-23-2009, 11:13 AM
If I remember correctly, it should be 3 prongs.
I'm sure you could find a way to do it.

splice and twist and tape.

on the mirror side, since those prongs are really small, maybe some kind of small gauge wire connecter can be used. squeeze it so it's small and slip it on the prongs... maybe.

I saw them a long time ago and was pissed off. So lame.

Anyways, I think the Ganadors are the shit. Been around for a while. ALL the hot J cars had/have them and they aren't TOO common over here. Not many are willing to pony up for them.

$500+ sounds way too expensive for them.

I can use both mirrors decently well. Driver side if convex, so it catches the next lane over, and if anything, I just lean a little and can see the lane just fine. Passenger mirror is a bit more problematic, but still usable. It is concave, so it magnifies like crazy, but I positioned it so that if there is a car in view, it means I shouldn't merge over, lol.

No not the glass. The shape of the mirrors... When you adjust them to work well on a LHD car, the glass sorta sticks out on the right side, and it's super sunk in on the left side. It's just due to the angle you view the mirrors. Obviously it would be opposite in a RHD and LHD car.

Also they will not fit in stock position must be bolted into the doors which looks meaner imo ( you can not see out passenger side in stock position)

It says above......you can!!! but if you want to see properly out of your passenger side you need to mount it on the door. That is why the ones you can buy on ebay already mounted in the stock position have super long goofy looking bent metal pieces mounted to the mirrors. These are short. I tried them on my bro's 180sx too and they don't seem to get the right angle for proper vision. Maybe other mirrors are different but this is my experience with the APR's

here's some egay one's....they look like they are more angle'd back towards the ass of the car which is where you need it to see out of.

And yes door mounted mirrors are gangster which is why I am going to put them on the new car again.

APR F1 carbon fibre with blue tinted glass......which is kinda annoying cuz it looks like everyone has hid's so you can't pick out cops lol

Also they will not fit in stock position must be bolted into the doors which looks meaner imo ( you can not see out passenger side in stock position)
I had a custom made cf delete plate. Which was pretty much cf plate with nuts fibreglassed in the stock hole position.

anyone know where i can get replacement glass for this shipped to cali. both of mine broke and the apr glass is the only way to tell them apart from ebay ones.


thanks!
