1. Which is more common a CSC problem or a 7AT problem?

2. If you change the transmission fluid (have a Nissan dealer do it) will they say that voided the warranty?

3. If you add a transmission cooler, will they say that voids the warranty?

4. Is the CSC problem still common on a '15+ Nismo or have they done something to address it?

I'm choosing a Nismo Z over a C6 Z06 for my perceived reliability, am I picking the wrong car? I know once the exhaust valve heads are addressed on the Z06, they're pretty reliable.
1. CSC is more common, but cheaper to fix.
2. If a Nissan dealer changes fluid ONLY with Matic-S ATF, your warranty still stands and should not be void.
3. No not easily, the only way they can do that is if they can prove the cooler caused a failure of some sort.
4. CSC problem has never been addressed. I believe the new 2018 "Heritage Edition" has an Exedy clutch which may or may not make a difference.

Whether or not the 370z is the right car for you or not is not something I can answer. It has it's issues which are a nuisance and don't normally creep up in normal driving or commuting. For the spirited driver, you will encounter at least one of the common issues this car suffers from. It's a good car, but has it's flaws like any other when pushed. I don't want to convince you into buying a Z or dissuade you from doing so. My suggestion would be to research some more here on this forum...as there a small handful of issues to consider. Some of them are just nuisances and can be fixed or addressed pretty easily. Others are somewhat expensive and if it pops up, could mean your car is down for a while. The CSC and auto transmission problems are the worst to encounter, hope that helps.
