So, today, someone pointed out that my side mirrors were different, and now I'm freakin out about it because I hate it!

Driver side:



Passenger side:



What's the deal here??

That is how they are...Z31's are like that too.

1987 Nissan 300ZX Turbo (Budget Supercar)
1987 Nissan 200SX SE (Old School FR)
1994 Nissan Sentra SE-R (Balls To The Wall Track Car)
2000 Nissan Maxima SE (Daily Driver)
2006 Scion tC (Wife Whip)

In an ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand, so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.

Really?  My thoughts are the driver side is a mk1 mirror, and the passenger side is the factory mk2 mirror.

My MK I is like that. I can vouch for my passenger side being original too.... Couple years back I was sitting in a parking lot and the mirror glass just fell off....

one of them is a little longer, i think the passenger side is longer to accomodate your extra distance from the mirror.

YOU THOUGHT SO, BUT I KNOW SO.

Adding an SSD to that is kinda like strapping a 3 inch stainless HKS exhaust on a geo metro.

I think the previous owner of my car glued the glass back back on on the passenger side...the glass just seems to fall after time..

Omg, mine *just* did this yesterday. The damned thing just fell off by itself.
I guess its cause of the out door heat, age and cheap glue (black gummy stuff).

Cheap glue.... I wouldn't say that.... It boils down to heat cycling, and glue from the 80's.
Okay... Yeah.... Cheap, AND shitty glue.

went junkyard hunting today with Maxpow and saw a white SE just like yours, and the mirrors were exactly the same. Maxpows white Se also has the same thing. im guessing its a factory thing
