2008 - 370-GT Coupe - V36 Side wing rear view mirrors dont re-align after reverse

So I have the car in the title, and I love that the side wing, rear view mirrors dip / point down when the car is in reverse. And as expected, they *attempt* to revert back to the original position, but fail. They appear to overshoot, and I have to manually adjust them back into position. Normally they return with a angle pointing slightly into the sky 😠

I know I can turn off the tilt on reverse, but I find it very useful when reversing out of my VERY tight garage.

Is this normal or common?

I tried the window reset type procedure. ie move to highest then to lowest. And it did not change.

Any other suggestions? Is there another trick?

I never had this problem in mine.

What about using the seat position buttons?

Don't they remember steering wheel and mirror positions?

It's not a fix but im thinking you could just press the memory button to return it to your preset position

Mine is a 2008 370GT SP Coupe,. and I have never experienced any seat position memory/return. It does not have the 1-2 buttons on the door, for different driver's. Are they the "seat position" buttons you are talking about?

I drove yesterday, and I noted that the passenger side actually returned pretty much spot on and did not need adjustment after reversing. But, the drivers side did after every reverse. Its not a total killer, as I leave the "side control" turned to the drivers side, and its becoming almost a muscle memory to tilt it down again after reversing. But obviously still not the best way to be.

yeah. 

Maybe my memory of my car is wrong. I did have 2011 V36 SP, maybe in the newer model it had them.

It was also an option on the earlier models, and another being heated seats.  I saw some when targeting my year. Neither of which mine has.

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
