I don't like the fact how there is no trunk release button for my Z. Kind of sucks how I need to get out of my car to open the trunk for my passenger.

If you're in the car can't your passenger can push the button to open the trunk?

LOL I have to wonder who the stupid one really is: the gf or the guy that would call his gf stupid in a public forum. I hope she has a great sense of humor. ;)

Lucky. I haven't even had mine for a month and I have already bought LEDs for the interior, GTR start button, GTR map lenses, stillen g3 intake, springs, UCA, and LCA.

:iagree: It is addictive. I drive it so much that mileage has gotten so high. A little over 27k and bought it new in May 2012. That's a problem. I'm calling my company's Employee Assistance Program to get some counseling.

-Some drivers find that the car does actually overheat on their daily commute. How they actually drive is anyone's guess, but on the street I can't imagine being able to drive any of the cars I have owned to the point of overheating if everything was in working order.
----Get a cooler with a thermostat. Too cool is just as bad and maybe worse than too hot.

-Early models had a whining sound come from the PCM.
----Swap it out.

-Some 2009's used oil.
----Fixed via Nissan.

-The paint is 3mm thick. This is some of the thinnest in the industry. It allows for truly awesome "depth" of color.
----A clear-bra is mandatory.

-Some people complain about "cabin noise". I have driven 370's and don't think it's an issue.
----If you must, there are many products on the market like "Blockit", and others.

Can someone elaborate on the noises posted above? I think i may have one of these issue on my 2011.

I have just recently noticed a low pitched whining whenever i keep the gas pedal pressed down at lower rpm, it happens at every gear, and its becoming more noticeable now that i have paid attention to it. i plan on taking it to dealer to check out, but I'm doing research to see if others have had any experience with this issue or know what causes it. Thanks guys.

I think this addictive could be called as official problem of the 370z cause it happens to 99.999% of the owners....

I was researching, which is how I ended up in this thread Nismo#91. I've used the search function for engine noise which yielded nothing relating to the issue which prompted my post looking for answer.

If you don't want to help, PLEASE :gtfo2:

damian_mb 11-14-2013 12:36 PM

I got 99 problems and my Z aint one. :)

Need to go pull my steering lock fuse at storage, which is about 1 hour away...

Ah hell, nvm this, I'm taking her in to the dealer this weekend for service anyway.

Bad problem: i can only fit one dead body in my hatch. Maybe two if I play some tetris

lindgar1981 04-13-2017 12:44 AM

I been having this issue with my 2011 370z nismo. A couple of months ago I been having this problem in The front right suspension when I take a hard left turn the right suspension feels lose or the front tired moves and that side of the car doesn't feel tight compared when I do a right sharp turn at the same speed. I took my car to get align 4 times already and not much of a change. I change my front bushings with spl bushings and I notice the car is tighter but a couple of days the same problem happen again. Another thing when I do a u-turn to the left the front right if the car it hops but the left one doesn't hope when I do a right u-turn. Can anyone give an advice what should I do. Even in the freeway the front right tired it feels that it moves a little to any direction compared with the left and I have to grab the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car in a straight line, specially when there is groves lines in the freeway. Any advice ?

get your car on jack stands, and shake your wheel left and right to see if it shakes loose. what does your alignment specs say. if your toe is TOO close to 0 up front then the car will tend to follow grooves on freeways really easily (kinda turns the wheel for you)

fyi might get better responses in the "brakes & suspension" tech side of forums.

Loving my 2014 still.

You don't need much power to pass prius's here in Oregon!

A few things:

1) The paint: I paid a lot of $$$ to have a clear bra put on the entire front bumper and entire hood. 3 years later I have maybe 5 rock chips @ 35k miles, and i do a lot of highway driving but try to keep a long following distance and I don't take my sweet time passing trucks (unlike outback drivers!); Invested a ton in good detailing equipment and have developed OCD keeping the car looking new, so the next car will not be a dark color!

2) Tires: Getting rid of the miserable bridgestones transformed the car, but if you drive this car like it's meant to be driven, I'm getting about 18-24 months out of pilot super sport rear tires, but I've not messed with the alignment, but I love the car, and it corners awesome stock for public roads, so not a huge complaint, more of an observation.

3) Windows: Every 30th door closing the drivers side window doesn't do it's normal down/up routine, not sure why, but it's done this since new

4) Rear hatch struts: Mine just started to not go up all the way maybe the last 2-3 inches of movement

5) my BIGGEST annoyance: This car collects more rocks than the Apollo moon missions combined! About every 2-3 weeks I have to get under and bang on the dust shields to remove the rocks or eventually they work themselves out. I do go down an occasional gravel road at a snails pace, but the PSS tires love to pickup rocks and they seem to make their way into the brake area, especially on the drivers side.

Anyone ever fill up their gas tank but the gas gauge doesn't read full? The last led doesn't light up. I clicked the pump a few times to make sure the tank was topped off but it still didn't read. Having a full tank is the best feeling and its disappointing to not see it after leaving the pump.

Mine does that almost every full up, then after I park and come back to the car the last light is on.

Did you get all those alignments done at the same place?

What suspension do you have. What tires and how old/worn are they.
