I'm installing a OEM spoiler and 15% tints by the end of this week. The KWV3/TE37SL/Motordyne E370/Evo-R foglight/illuminated kickplates will come after, I'm in no hurry at the moment but this is the plan for this year.

They whole dealership seemd pretty pissed off they couldn't scam me. Bunch of sleezy people. Its a large dealer too incase you guys are wondering, the biggest if I'm not mistaken, its W... Nissan.

I'll come out real soon, just give me a little more time getting used to driving it. I'm pretty nervous right now, reversing is a bitch and so is the blind spots.

How do you guys switch lanes with confidence? No matter how I adjust the mirrors, there are spots where cars can hide from it. I've only driven sedans and my bro's Gencoupe, blind spots were never an issue, especially if I turn my head to check.

You will learn soon enough that to switch lanes to the right you need to look out the back window, and to switch to the left you need to lean forward and/or stick your head out the driver side window. Its funny when you get in the habit of doing so and then you get in a normal car that has good visibility. and you still end up doing that ****. Its how to spot a Z driver out of the z rule #1.

Do you mean the little window by the B-piller or the actual rear window? I'm going to see if a big broadway mirror would help. I know what you mean about the normal car, I was turning my head around whenever I wanted to switch left in the Z and all I saw was the seatbeat clip lol

The only thing holding me back from getting a clear bra is that I most likely will be going Amuse in a year or so.

I've driven the car for only 44km and the attention I get is crazy. I've already got a couple ricer flybys and 3 cars speeding to catch up to me to check the car out.

Coming from my 2000 Acura 1.6 EL, I appreciate this car that much more, she is amazing.

lets grab a coffee tonight. i wanna see a fresh 370 lmao

LMBmikeZ · 06-27-2013, 06:42 PM

with MrSir about leaning forward, but for me I kinda lean forward and turn back like a blind spot check but using the side window. Doing this you will see that sexy wide wheel well while you check the blind spot you had in the side mirror. Eventually you will get used to this/good at it and will not have to lean as dramatically far forward.

My number one thing is just pay attention. I find as long as I monitor everything I can navigate my way through traffic........for some reason though they never seem to get any closer when in my mirrors

Ire · 06-27-2013, 06:50 PM

its so true!! I had a loner car from the dealer the past few days and I found myself not even checking out the drivers side back window.
I have those little round blind spot mirrors I've attached so I can actually see my blind spot without having to stick my head out the window. the best cheapest investment ive spent on the Z. a must to have

Must be Mr.alcheng... he's late for everything, explains why he's driving so fast.

Dizzy · 06-30-2013, 09:57 AM

Thought about it for a minute, then realized it would be a holiday Monday drive back from Coburg to the west side of the GTA. Yuck!

zefaulter · 06-30-2013, 09:59 AM

Hmmm I didn't think about that
