Yes Gee, I had exactly the same problem. The bonnet sometimes didn't sit flush, it was raised on one corner. It was fixed at the 10,000km service.

Hmmm...I noticed the left side of my "bonnet" is raised slightly, very small diff between right & left. But it closes fine...will have service fix it.

So was it just the bonnet mounts that needed adjusting?

370er · 12-10-2009, 05:20 PM

Should we be dropping our bonnet to close it or push down gently?

semtex · 12-10-2009, 05:47 PM

Dropping.

My front driver seat has a lot of wrinkles in the leather in one back corner. I asked the dealer but they are saying its normal...

Does anyone else have this?

willinsyd - maybe take a photo for us so we get a better idea?

Unfortunately with leather you can get natural wrinkles. But dealers are good at saying 'its normal'.

You need to stop farting to one side only. (j/k)

Problems are:
1. Paint (Clear coat dissolving on mine)
2. Rattle (In rear hatch area)
3. Boot (Will not open with one push of button have to manually lift)

I'd like to apologize to all the Australian members for some of the members behavior.

Tech threads should NOT be derailed with useless replies. This is why we have the offtopic/anything goes section. When someone creates a thread in any "tech" section, they are looking for useful feedback and trying to collect data. If it gets derailed or ruined by other members with discussion that's not related to the original topic, I can't describe in words how frustrating it is!

Please keep useless discussions in Premium Members Lounge or off topic Lounge.

thanks

What colour is your car joe370z, and where in Australia are you based?

I also have problems 2 and 3, but I do have a high release on the clutch, plus there is a judder from it when it's under load. I will try and address all issues during the 10,000k service.

the paint problem has been an issue for a while now. many of us have some sort of paint defect out of the factory. it's just the nature of the craptacular paint nissan uses.
