The solution is very very simple.

A convex broadway mirror thats 360mm+. I bought one today, and when used with properly adjusted side mirrors. Its amazing. You have to adjust the mirrors so the view is 3/4 the rear window + 2/3 of the passenger side windows.

I can see literally everything on the passenger side. If you buy the 400mm convex mirror you should be able to see 100% of the rear window as well.

10/10 would recommend.

So whats the solution?

I just got the car and the blind spot is really bothering me. I can't drive the car like I can my old ones, I need that 100% confidence and assurance to switch lanes.

I'm so paranoid that I used to always turn my head back to physically check to make sure there are no cars in my blind spot before I make any moves. I just don't trust mirrors.

Maybe I'm old school, but even with properly adjusted mirrors on any car, I turn my head and take a quick look before changing lanes.

Do most people on here change lanes only by looking at their mirrors?

When is Nissan going to put blind spot indicator sensors on the side view mirrors on the Z? I think it's a pretty fair assupmtion that we all agree that our Zs have a serious blind spot which is hazardous at best when changing lanes. I had a MazdaSpeed3 which had blind spot indicators and although it wasn't neccessary on a 4 door hatch, it was still great to have. On a Z, I would think that it would be as necessary as signal lights and brake lights. Anybody hear of the possibility of Nissan making it available on future Zs?

You know, the funny thing is that even when I have the added mirrors, I still take a quick glance over my shoulder. I suppose it is just a well placed habit.
