The fact is A Mazda Miata, or a Suburu BRZ has a more reliable Drive Train! It's a classic tail of the "Tortoise & the Hare". Nissan being the Hare, and all others being the steady/reliable Tortoise. ! Dam the Suburu WRX STI is looking really good. You build cars upon a foundation, and if you build a car upon a WEAK DRIVE TRAIN, then you got a WEAK car no matter the horsepower/suspension/interior features etc. Very Disappointed in Nissan!

That's like throwing the baby out with the bath water. Miata and BRZ aren't even in the same ballpark for performance and the WRX has a shitty factory tune that could very well pop your motor. Think that's more of an 'Achilles Hill' than a weak CSC.

If you don't like your Z, trade it in on something else.

:iagree:

weak CSC ≠ weak drivetrain :rolleyes:



but then again ... Miata doors :icon17:

You think Nissan learned about their faulty CSCs from the later model 350z. I don't comprehend the reasoning behind "continuing a recalled known-problem" to the 370z. That's what gets me.

So in conclusion no matter how you drive your Z this will happen and on a side note that I may have missed , has anyone asked the dealer to replace the plastic piece with a more durable material non oem?...I just did my 15k maintenance myself and hope that I can reach the 20k marker without any issues but I guess is just a matter of time right?..:driving:

I cant wait to get mine replaced just for the peace of mind..

i don't think they will ever issue a recall regarding this. not enough pressure on them to do so. i like what this thread was started for and it may get it some more push for attention, but the chances are small.

The only way to really get pressure on nissan is going through the media, thats the best way to get maximum number of eyes on the issue. (just my personal opinion)

I've been saying this for the longest...:shakes head:

Alright, who has friends in the News industry/Magazines/Newspaper/Media?

What are the sales number of Z's vs what percentage with this issue? Hard to believe I'm an outlier with it happening so soon but I suppose it's possible.

Someone want to crunch the number and get means and standard deviation on the numbers we have to extrapolate likelihood to have CSC failure vs those who get rid of them before it happens, etc?

Zbrah 07-13-2015 04:05 PM
F this. I'm selling the Z and get a bike.

Jsolo 07-13-2015 04:24 PM
^^More smiles per mile on the bike any anything with 4 wheels. :)

So I drove my Z for the first time today since my quick trip to San Diego 10 days ago when I had my clutch sticking problems. Drove great today so I guess I have a little more time before my grenade explodes lol the two times it happened to me were getting off the freeway after long drives. Fluid looks fine.

Can a mechanically inclined person here explain in detail why the CSC fails and then goes back to normal?, then fails again (pedal to the floor) and comes back after a while? Sorry not a motorhead here.
