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.

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
