    I would like to try and organise a group buy for either M3 style or ganador side mirrors but am having trouble finding a company that supplies them for the 300zx :S

    Any hints on where to look or alternatively, do the mirrors from any other make/model fit the z32?

    Cheers

    mirrors

    Mate just type in "300zx mirror" on US ebay and they will come up. They are very cheap and are made in Spain from memory. They look ok but don't know how they would last and they certainly aren't plug and play i.e. you haveto sort out the wiring. Hope this helps.

    Rob careful with the US ones. I bought some copy granador LED ones for the Z and when they arrived, the bracket was not even close to fitting. When I emailed and gave them the part# they said that it WAS for a Z32. THEY WERENT, so I have two here that the closest thing they fit is R33.
    Yeh they seem cheap but make sure the bracket is the right one.

    That is my major concern, but could probably make a fibreglass mould of the OEM bracket and have it moulded to the cheap copies.

    I would rather find a decent original or quality copy so that you can be sure it will fit straight up. Just spray and fit. Will keep hunting!

    Sounds like a good plan mate.

    I have sent an email to www.greenline.jp asking about group buy prices, so hopefully will hear back from them soon :>

    Found a few on ebay, but still suspect about buying these given that they probably won't bolt up.

    These are manual ones (bit cheaper):

    And these are electrically adjustable ones:

    Do you guys reckon I should get a set or not? I will probably go the electrical ones as I hate having to lean across to adjust my mirrors ;>

    Either one Rob, as long as it indicates in a blue light and not amber, nice find!

    Has to indicate in amber for legal reasons, but is LED amber so will still look clear when not in use similar to the accord euro ones :>

    Might just bite the bullet and buy a set. Will wait to see what they want to slug me in postage first though.

    Cheers

    yeah man im in for some OFFICIAL ganador mirrors, pending price of course, i know greenline has some decent prices. under 450 delivered would be good . bit hessitant though as the last group buy for these mirrors got conned big time

    Ebay ones..

    There should be a US dealer called MotorEnergy hes who Ive bought them off and they arrived fast and in great condition. Only problem was the fact the triangle piece wasnt right. Im looking at options for getting the bracket either modified or a custom one made for the mirror itself.

    I got a motorised and LED mirror for US $30/40 cant remember but including postage I only paid AU$90 odd. Since mostly Perth people expressing interest ATM why not try to get my ones right take a mould and bring the rest of them in knowing that this dealer does deliver, is dam cheap, and may even drop the price a little further for you guys since theres a bunch of you doing it.

    He's got nothing atm, but will send him an email.

    Problem is I need a mirror soon as mine is buggered, so I may go and buy a set anyway. Josh isn't likely to get round to the mirrors soon (got quite a full plate) and will be difficult to set up electrics in them too.

    Cheers

    i'll ask my provider and let you know what is the best i can do for 10 or 20 pieces

    if someone cna tell me his address that would be great

    in order to save some bucks for you, what i propose is that the mirrors will ship from JP to Australia direclty to an address and there someone can distribute them

    also shipping via sea or air plays a significant role to the total price

    Ganador's look great

    i bought a set from greenline not to long ago. they look great. Service from greenline was very good as well, the mirrors arrived 10 days after the initial email was sent.
