Drivers Mirror Distortion Makes Me See Double

[rtune]

For some reason the drivers side mirror makes me see double when I look into it. My eyesight

is pretty good, no glasses etc. Is this just me? drives me crazy.

Passenger mirror is no problem. My other car has one of those split distance near/far mirrors

and no problems with it, either..

Mirror vibrating?

Do you see double when the cars off and stationary

it gives me a headache when stationary too. I feel like I'm going cross eyed.

only by closing one eye (either one) does it look right.

Stock, it is a split design, yes? I mean part of the mirror gives the kind of vision

that makes the yanks put "objects may be closer than you think" stickers on it,

but the other part is normal?

swap the mirror part over with a passenger mirror? would make logical sense that they would be the same shape? then again you never know. dunno what it would to do your resale value..lol

Im guessing your side rearview mirror is still Convex, that could be why its giving you a hard time to look at it.

Its should have been changed to a Flat mirror for compliancing.

If you can, just remove the mirror and try to "Pop" it flat or push it in flat and see how you go.

I think you are right. I don't know how a japanese drivers put up with it - at least as it looks to me.

geez, my compliance shop had an easy job for their $3k: gave me a compliance cat in a cardboard

box and sign a bunch of paperwork!

LOL!

My mirror was left convex, you get use to it. Im suprised you just noticed, how long you had the car for?

As for Compliance, you get some who do the whole lot and some just do the main things like Intrusion bars, Unleaded fuel restictor cap (so only unleaded fuel hose can go in, nothing else), Child restraints, fix the car back up to driveable standard so to pass road worthy etc...

I got two things which look like child restraints! .... they are also in a box.

Wondering if there are intrusion bars now.

I didn't notice the mirror because I'm like the italian in that joke: what is behind isn't important.

Actually i did notice (that it was convex) but just subconscious about why it sucked until the other day when I realized without concentrating on it hard, everything was double.

still in the box...lol id follow it up to see if it was fully complied. it may be a good thing that parts are in the box cause you keep everything original, then again it can cause doubt and complications later on down the road if it gets picked on by the cops. id say you'd be able to get them to stick it all in free of charge if you do run into trouble cause technically they are liable for the compliancing of the car to australian standards and you did pay 3k for it to be done....thats if they are still around..lol.

LOL! The Italian... Thats a first time joke I have heard about LOL!

Child restaints in a box... Well then, no baby seat for you in that car and its probley the last thing you want in a GTR anyway LOL!

I have seen some shitty jobs done with the child restraints, some compliance places just bolt it through the cover of the rear speakers LOL! Mine are bolted behind the speakers.

Don't worry about it too much, unless you want a baby seat in.

I guess the only way to see if you got the intrusion bars is to remove the inside door panel.

As for you side rear view mirror, just get you mechanic to take it out (if you can't or don't wanna break the mirror) and get them to push it inwards to make it flat or just replace it.
