370z top of the list Issues

Fuel Starvation: Turning right for a long time runs the fuel pump dry.
CSC: The clutch mechanicals WILL eventually fail and leave you stranded.
Steering Lock: This anti-theft feature sometimes freaks out and leaves the car unable to start.
Oil Temperature: The 370z motor likes to run hot. So much so, that they built in safe modes which kick in to limit RPM @ certain temperatures over ~250.
Rear Hatch: Pushing the button doesn't always pop the trunk.
Alignment: Camber / caster are not adjustable stock. Must purchase aftermarket components.

IIRC, the more basic the unit/audio system you get, the easier it is to mod the system right?

Correct

Anyone care to explain what are the differences/upgrades from the standard coupe to the sport package? I'm assuming it's brakes, shocks, springs, tires, wheels, the spoiler and maybe gearing? Anything else?

The sport gives you akenbone brake package, limited slip diff, wider tires 9 in front 10 in rear, 19 inch wheels, rev match on the manual and as of 2016 it gets the bose sound system. Worth it if you plan to track or spirited drive and dont plan on a new diff or 6 piston breaks.

The nismo gives you wider wheels at 9.5 and 10.5 a tiny drop from springs and dampers plus all the sport stuff

^^ I find the sport to be a way better overall street setup than Nismo. Handles better on non-perfect roads. Nismo may be a bit better on a perfect smooth track, maybe.

Also, you can't fully turn off VDC on the non-sport models. Oh and, base seats suck compared to sport seats. Thats all I got now

The Z is a panty dropper. I suggest that you leave the girlfriend or wife at home if she is the jealous type.
