i have owned my Z for a yr and 4 months now and i just started to notice that the side mirrors get in my way when it comes to seeing curbs when turning. is this normal for the rest of you guys?

 

Once you have driven a car for a few years, you will learn where your tires are.

 

LOL ^

OP I dont understand your problem? You have driven your car for a year and dont have the proper depth perception to park it against curbs?

 

Try using a booster seat? J/P Some people are more spatial than others, that's why you see some cars with wheels that are perfect after many years of use and some are curbed to hell after a few days.

 

or for a cheaper alternative phonebooks

 

Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

 

If you have a problem with the mirrors in the 350Z, don't even think about driving a 370Z. It's amazing what can hide behind them, and curbs are the least of your worries.

 

Geez...long before now you should have gotten used to driving your car.
Its that way with ANY car you drive.If its such a big deal that you are starting
to wipe out homeless people standing on curbs,maybe you should get some
F1 type mirrors?

 

Yes if you want a blind spot try the 370Z. The side view mirrors are as large as microwave ovens.

You'll get use to it. Took me about 3 months to learn how close my wheels were to the curb lol if you cant get use to it,I'd suggest don't park near curbs and stay away from round abouts

 

You have your Z 1+yr. the sooner you get use it the better it will be. There's purpose for the side mirrors, Whos behind you.

 

get some curb feelers dude!!

 

i never had a problem with them before. maybe its just in my head because its bothered me for the past month. maybe im just alittle paranoid because i've rubbed my rims twice eating ****.

 

Yeah visibility of the ground out of the car is pretty terrible. Can't really see well in any direction. I always find myself sticking out of a space or parked on the line. Sometimes worse! Rearview mirror is pretty useless with the spoiler in the back lol.

 

Because race car. Over a year and you still haven't got used to it yet? Get some Datsun 240Z JDM mirrors and throw em on the fenders. It may look ugly as fudge but it'll fix your problem.

 

its called judgement, doesnt come in a day or two.....

..... meanwhile do not invest in expensive wheels.

 

Honestly, it just sounds like you need to reevaluate your driving skills..I've owned mine for about 6 months and never had a problem with parking parallel or in a parking spot and never had a problem turning...not trying to sound like an ******* but yeah..

 

When I pulled out my sparco's to put the stock seats back in before selling my car I had huge blind spots for changing lanes on the hwy.. Just got used to looking through the holes in the headrest out the window.

 

Try driving in fixed back race seats and a 5 point harness. Then in the pits at the track it is downright scary with a helmet and Hans on.
