Congrats on the Nismo

I have a potential tip regarding pulling into a parking spot:

If there is a concrete parking stop in the spot to your right, I find that when the right hand side mirror looks to be hovering just over the adjacent parking stop, you are golden in front; neither too close nor too far.

Not sure how much height plays into this or seating position, but I'm sure it does as even though its using two fixed points to use as depth and distance cues, the perspective of the driver will vary.

No harm in trying. If you hear a scrape, you can sort of re-calibrate your perspective in relation to where the parking stop is relative to the bottom of the side mirror to minimize future scrapes.
