Official 370z problems

Canolinumber1

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.

HEK

The biggest problem I'm having is that I can't seem to find a replacement for the Z, maybe a newer one but looks and performance I don't know what to do........my therapist says let it go...

My light must be on strike because it only comes on when it wants to.

SINISTER

Relative to every car I have ever owned this car is problem free and easy as hell to work on....small stupid things I wont even list.

bought mine in 2013 and currently have 34,000 miles. 0 issues so far. Has been easy to maintain. The usual oil changes.

Has anyone had to replace the Csc and Master Cylinder? My clutch pedal just sank to the floor today during some spirited runs on the back roads and I am beyond upset. I just bought it and I have juuuust hit 60240 so warranty is no more. I will not be taking it to the stealership, I will just fix it myself. But I am looking to upgrade the parts if possible. Any suggestions?

there's tons of threads about this.

long story short, OEM master and slave cylinder sucks, some people will blow their slave couple thousands miles off the lot, some last a bit longer.

slave cylinder is more expensive to fix because it's located in the bell housing.
so most swap out the clutch and flywheel while the transmission is out (to an aftermarket one)

for the slave cylinder you have two options other than back to OEM.

HD CSC, I believe Zspeed performance sells them.
uses better material, and SS clutch line (get with insulated wrap)
This will prevent the line from getting to hot in the transmission.
heat is what usually causes the slave to blow a seal.

OR

CSC elimination kit. a few different companies make them for the car, read reviews on them, I went the HD route so idk which ones are reliable.

the elimination kit will eliminate usage of the CSC in the bell housing, only thing is, over time you will need to adjust the length as your flywheel get's thinner? (not completely sure) *It's a bit more expensive but more reliable imo


as for your master cylinder
RJM makes a HD CMC upgraded version. buy that and you'll be set.

he also came out with a clutch pedal kit which helps pedal feel and reduces pedal travel, stock has a long travel which also helps aid in seals to blow.

PS, usually you'll want to swap out the CMC and CSC at the same time. if one blows, it will contaminate the line and cause premature failure in the other part. and when you replace that at a later time, it will cause the same thing vice versa

I'm currently thinking of getting a new Z (2019) and was wondering if the issues with the Master/Slave cylinders is still present. Or has Nissan just given up on fixing it? Thanks for any input!

sell it or scrap, too old now.

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.

Is ok Kenchan... you can drive the car, you wont believe how awesome it is.
