Nissan really need to improve one or two things for the 2010, don't you think?

I seriously don't see the logic on putting a VLSD on any sports car. Specifically one that is likely going to see track use. Time to shove in a nice clutch type.

sounds like nissans dirty little sercets are finally seeing some light

Idiots.
Such a big campaign to sell them Zs and then these BAD news..
I guess this will be the same for the european "Nurburgring edition".

At least they are making it known about the oil temp issue and the diff issue.....maybe nissan will give us the oil cooler if more articles are wrote about it

Just because Nissan admits it doesn't mean they'll do jack about it.

It's not just the NISMO it's the 370z period. A few here already had it happen.

It's becoming a bit rediculous now, especially promoting a TRACK-ORIENTED car without adequate cooling and now rear diff. Looks like to keep the costs down they really skimped out on a few key areas, at least for a sports-car.

it's coming back to bite them Nissan ppl in the bum now.

It worked on the z33. I don't recall any ppl blowing up the diffs on lapping days..

Agreed.. Def swaying my decision to move to this platform, right away.

They basically admitted the QR25 was a piece of sh*t, but to this day they still put the engine in the Altima.

God, I hope I don't get burned on this car like I did when I purchased a brand new Sentra SE-R Spec-V back in 2002. That car was the worst car ever made by Nissan and a huge disappointment. Everytime I see one on the road (which isn't often since few are still running) I vomit.

How many people are REALLY going to take their 370Z to a track and race it competitively? Less than 2%.

I agree that the LSD should have been built a little stronger, though.

135i owners are finding out that their Brembo brake calipers crack severely (requiring complete replacement) under hard braking at the track.
