Im sure you guys/girls have encountered the notorious blind spots on our Z. I wanted to know what you guys/girls do to counteract this problem? If you have any tips and tricks or any mods for the Z to help you out with this problem, let us know.

Untested ideas are welcome!

Thanks!

 

p.s. turning your head does not count =)

This is what I came up with and it was posted by myself. It really does work.

it might work..but all i know is that these blind spots are extremely dangerous...usually i dont have problems

but just the other night i was driving..and i new there was a black bmw right next to me....but thats only cause it sped up and i saw it coming..but if i hadnt known better the side mirror and even me turning my head showed absoluelty NO CAR..very dangerous

 

Yeah, they are, be careful out there folks.

 

Get a roadster & keep the top down.

 

ive seen a similar post on adjusting the side mirrors. Ive tried it and it works BUT i dont like fact that i have to re-adjust them everytime I have to do some sketchy parking. A memory setting for the mirrors would be a really nice feature.

I didnt know about the convex mirror replacement. This sounds very interesting. PLease post some more info on these aftermarket mirrors. I think I would like to buy two for the Z if they fit well.

zand02max: thanks for that link

 

i still cannot find a convex for the passenger side, but the one on my drivers side works great. the view from it is small like the passengers side, but the field of view is a lot better. i ordered it from a site in australia. it came promptly. if you guys find a passenger side, let me know.

oh, just to let you know, these are not aftermarket. it is a genuine nissan part.

when you must get into the next lane; downshift no less than 2 gears.

apply throttle 3/4ths to full.

wait till you pass the next car ahead in that lane

when that car is visible in your rear view mirror; merge.

heh works every time.

 

thanks for the link ragtopz

 

Before you make a change pull yourself forwar in the seat. This allows you to see the blindspot in the side mirrors.
