Official 370z problems

"thump" from transmission when I brake hard and the 7AT auto downshift from 2nd to 1st (some said 3rd to 2nd).

Paint/clearcoat sucks. Prepare to have tons of rock chips on your front bumper if you don't have a bra. I've been as gentle as I could during washing/waxing and swirlies still come up. Doesn't help that my car is red either. Get a white one and you can hardly tell.

Also, nobody has mentioned this yet, but keep your brake fluid filled up to max or close too it. Even if you're filled up mid way, accelerating moderately will swoosh it around and your brake light will come on. If it stays on for more than a few seconds, your VDC will turn off.

Rear diff bushings are soft as tofu.... Solid mounts are too noisy my biggest issue....

paints garbage on my 13 as well, so they havent heard our cries yet but MAN is it pretty! why magma red only had a 1 year run is beyond my comprehension. oil temps seem EXACTLY the same as they were on my 09 that didnt have a cooler on it "until i put one on myself" so....... whatever. only gripe i have is the clutch system, slave cylinder in particular. If your mean to it, you WILL pay the price, nissan forgot this is a sports car...... and didnt make key "sports car reliant" parts good enough to actually take some minor track abuse every now and again. Take the moral high road and say you havent beaten your Z at least once and i will be the first to give you a monkey slap to the face and call you a liar lol. So i foresee most of the FI builds of Z having some transmission issues before anything else, AKA subaru syndrome. except subarus do it stock I know, i have 2.

Oh and that annoying *** rattle noise taking off from slow speed. which will only be made worse when i put in a lightweight flywheel.

aside from oil temp issues, i dont really have any problems with my 370z

its fast, fun and reliable, im not complaining

I can't watch myself drive from outside my car. Maybe if I get those neck rings that those tribal women get to stretch their necks I can get my head far enough outside the car to see it going down the road from a 3rd person pov.

common read about complaints:

1aint is weak
2:car aftermarket stuff exspensive with less gain compaired to other brand cars
3:rides too rough
4:stupid looking fuel dots
5:everone looks at the car including cops
6:"nice porsche"
7:low car = not like bumps, driveways, potholes, ect.
8:harder to jack/lift to work on car
9:lots of push pins and stuff to take out to work on car
10:small trunk
11:rim's paint also thin
12:steering wheel lock
13:trunk not release on first try

that's all I can think of off my head that I have read about on my car:

1: cabin noise is way to loud. I can hear the road just roaring as I drive over it.
2: It's a long hike walking into the store cuz I park was far away form others
3: sound system suck (partly to blame to road noise, low volume = sound decent, loud to overcome road noise = sh*t)
4: little trunk space
5: trunk not open on first try


Personally, I only have a few nit picks

i have a soft top problem with my 2010 i hear a funny sound when i hit any rough spot on the road an when someone is riding with me on the right rear(chearp) oh yeah a funny sound when i turn the eng off

Don't you think some of the paint complaints are due to the fact that being a low sports car, it is much more vulnerable to rocks and debris when compared to the higher front end of the cars you are comparing it too?

nmjaxx9

the only problems I see are other people having problems with me driving my Z. But thats your not really my problem. im just drivin, Other then that the experience with the Z is bangin!

I must be in the minority, but I really haven't had any problems with road noise or paint.

Steering lock is my only gripe
