Young man + Z= Good times and some bad
Finally i have officially logged in.... after 3 months of lurking on this site/ multiple password resets... So this Z of mine is my first car.. ever from riding my motorcycles all year round(seen to many wet days)... then early last year got one heck of a job with no experienced.. saved for a down payment $4000 for a 350z.. well after months i got a grab on a yellow 350z completely tricked out i had no need to waste a dime on mods.. Check engine light came on next day after i got the car... So in atlanta GA it must pass or you can return it... I returned it.. after months of searching.. i came across a silver 370z touring in FL.. Had it shipped and BAM!:ughdance:
I had it sitting in my driveway after returning from a trip.. So im young but i work my back off till i get what i want, i was taught not to half a$$ anything growing up.. With that being said i will go on to tell you the problems ive had hahaha and im one to get things done as soon as i can so lets start 1. week after i get the car i find out the right front lower control arm bushing is busted.. RENTAL CAR FOR A WEEK 2.clutch started sticking to the floor. got it fixed....... 3. got in my car at the dealership and problem still happening:gtfo2:... got it fixed 4. drove to NC to visit my gf twice in a week noticed at high speeds clutch is sticking AGAIN 5. NISSAN TOLD ME THE CLUTCH LINES WERE BEING HEATED DUE TO BEING CLOSE TO THE CATS I HAVE TO SWAP ALL OF MY CLUTCH LINES, ASSEMBLY, DESIGN TO NEWER STYLE:icon14: (THEY PAID FOR THE PARTS) I HAD TO PAY HALF THE LABOR $450 I SAID ISNT THIS A RECALL OF SOME SORT.. APPARENTLY NO BUT IF IT HAPPENS TO ENOUGH PEOPLE I WILL GET A REFUND:mad: SOB 6. OH HAHAH 2 WEEKS LATER STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY FAILED.... THANK GOD FOR WARRANTY ... F THAT DEDUCTIBLE.. 2 MONTHS AFTER I BUY THE CAR 7. STOCK CAT FAILED GOT A NEW ONE FREE(WOW SOMETHING I DONT HAVE TO PAY FOR:ugh2:) just noticed i was typing in caps i guess i got serious... no not at all but :ugh2:still love my car.. sucks i had to pay for some much bull and drive sedan rentals to class but keeping my head up.. i got more plans.. Im 21 i (with paper and pencil) design cars/motorcycles and have alot of fresh ideas so pretty soon after getting ahold of a spare stock factory front bumper on CList i plan to do some custom fiberglass work to make a custom front bumper.. Ive got alot of ideas for my Z so with college hopefully i have the time/materials to make things happen.. Looking forward to logging in and getting the scoop :hello: |
all of that happened within 2 months of purchase i didnt buy from a Nissan dealership but NISSAN took care of me with every problem..
Today.. i need a clutch.. :mad: $500 labor sucks when you want to spend 700+ on a flywheel clutch combo... |
On the bright side you have a Z, welcome :icon17:

Hi

Sounds like a lemon
Mine is 40,000 miles never had an issue whatsoever, and i drive it hard |
congrats

CSC failure. Likely had nothing to do with the clutch line. Also, I think this is the first instance where I've heard of the Cats failing on a 370. What year is your Z.

My car is a 2009 right cat failed around 52,000 miles(aka wasnt heating up to the correct temp) i was told hopefully the left one fails within 80,000 miles because its only free before then.. |
Will It end?
yesterday i brought my car is for a check engine light and some extremely loud noise coming from under the hood at one point....
Sooooo.. today i get a call.. and i hear from Nissan asking if ive messed with the ecu(due to my car being seen at Z1 and Topspeed..) and if ive gotten a tune... well i dont have the money for a tune at the moment.. and i was pretty much getting the serious talk from nissan asking multiple times if ive messed with the ecu.. well i havent.. ECU: random cylinder misfire... car is actually misfiring bad over at Nissan as soon as they started it up... I was told the loud noise was probably due to the (i might be wrong i believe he said) intake valve being stuck open.. Supposedly my ecu is shooting codes left and right Im getting a new ecu under federal emmisions.. for free but nobody seems to be happy with me..:shakes head: I just want to get my car back.. screw wanting parts i just want to enjoy the Z i am paying for |

And yes it does sound like someone ran the hell out of your car. I hope you bought the extended warranty. |
Sounds like to bought somebody else's troubles. So sad. I'd think about trading it in a another Z or another car of some kind. The future could be problematic for you. Hope I'm wrong.

Congrats!!
