2011 370z question

mrparis · 02-04-2015, 11:17 AM

I was reading that the 09 10 had some issues ... did they clear most or all of the issues with the 2011 370z touring?

Steering lock issue was fixed after 2010.

Lack of horsepower has not been addressed as of yet.

Oil coolers were standard in 2012+. Not good enough for Track Usage tho. Mine gets to 200 on a warm-iish day (50s-60s) with just cruising shifting at 3krpms (Stock 2012 Cooler)

If you call fixed a recall to replace it with another revision prone to failure

If you have an ESCL in your Z, do yourself a favor and pull the fuse.

In hindsight, I am glad that I picked up a new 2011 instead of the used 2009 I originally went to the dealership to look at. I think the majority of the early quirks were hammered out by 2011. That being said, there are plenty of things Nissan continues to half-a$$ (like cooling system and clutch hydraulics).

My '09 had a few issuses. I guess it was the touring portion that was the cause.

so pull the steering fuse even if you had it replaced. does the fuse run anything else?

Your '09 is also driven 800 miles a year.

You don't need to pull the fuse if your new part number has the D in it. You have the updated modle.

Neither has my '09 although I don't track it and the mileage since purchased new is just under 49K. I installed a pigtail harness to bypass the stupid steering lock, installed a new battery as a preventive maintenance step in 2013 and other than that all I have done is oil and fluid changes on the engine & transmission, refreshed the brake, clutch and power steering fluid and changed the air and cabin filters.
Oh...one problem. I have about worn the shift pattern off of the shifter knob. Good thing I know where the gears are.
