ganador side mirror visibility? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SilviaSR20DET · 08-14-2013, 10:35 PM

Before i go about cutting my stock wires up to wire up the ganador mirrors, how is the visibility? Its on an s14 by the way. Thanks

Matej · 08-15-2013, 12:27 AM

There is none.

DJPimpFlex · 08-15-2013, 12:54 AM

It is bad.

KiDyNomiTe · 08-15-2013, 09:27 AM

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?!?

SilviaSR20DET · 08-15-2013, 12:07 PM

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...

***FaLKoN240*** · 08-15-2013, 12:51 PM

I got a friend that is looking for a pair. Don't do it.

Om1kron · 08-15-2013, 12:56 PM

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.

SilviaSR20DET · 08-15-2013, 02:45 PM

aight ill give them a try. If i dont like em i can always put em up for sale.

***FaLKoN240*** · 08-15-2013, 03:45 PM

PM me if/when you do. My homie wants.

darkevildrifter · 08-15-2013, 03:48 PM

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

*nighthawk48* · 08-15-2013, 03:49 PM

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.

will do sir

SilviaSR20DET · 08-15-2013, 03:54 PM

well the plug on my set is wider than the my stock plug which i find strange cause i thought they were plug and play...

SilviaSR20DET · 08-16-2013, 01:19 AM

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.

Yeah mine are the same way, I have the same plug on my ganadors (3 wires but a wider clip) thanks for the info though

nathanong87 · 07-22-2014, 01:16 PM

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.

blue tint. blue tint.

OBEEWON · 07-22-2014, 01:36 PM

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

angel mkiv · 07-22-2014, 02:03 PM

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?

az_240 · 07-22-2014, 08:52 PM

You can a lil bit but still won't be able to see shit

feito · 07-22-2014, 08:55 PM

damn, never heard about this before. Now i hate them even more xD

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

OBEEWON · 07-24-2014, 07:58 AM

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.

SilviaSR20DET · 07-24-2014, 09:24 AM

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.

nathanong87 · 07-24-2014, 09:42 AM
