Is the Touring Wagon have a convex mirror on the drivers door and a normal one on the left?
Its driving me nuts as I am not used to it. Can I swap the mirror glass from right to left? They look close to an equal length rhomboid shape (I think) top to bottom.

Mine has flat mirrors on both sides. Possibly your drivers side has been replaced by a custom fitten non-genuine mirror from a glass place. Unless its a difference in car models. All though I think my car is the same as yours.
1989 on the compliance plate. 1990 on the little "build date" plate on the strut tower.

Its an import mirror. From what I know its an ADR requirment to have a normal mirror on the drivers side and a convex on the passenger side after a certain year model. All import cars that have convex on the drivers side have to have them removed for ADR's. So all import cars have new tyres, new drivers side mirrors, some lights disconected in the rear garnish of a skyline, and it just keeps going.

My hatch had electric mirror controls when i got it... but like suggested... they must have been removed when registered in Australia.

Thanks for the replies, might have a go anyway at swapping them or finding another glass.
Chris, I here what you are saying about the import ADR, but that is opposite to what the latest Nissan Pathfinder has - convex RHS and flat LHS according to a test report I read. Or that the vehicle tested was a pre-release or import anyway.?? The testers comments were of the same opinion as mine too!
Avitar- ha ha, great show LOL, but when Nickelodeon took it over, it wasnt the same as the original series. The reply (Willie) about not seeing it, probably your browser settings for 3rd party host etc. in your options is blocking it.
