Looking into Purchasing a 370z Nismo

Yeah, I'm only looking for 370z Nismo's from 2011-2014 with under 40,000 miles from either a dealer or a completely stock one from a private seller who can thoroughly verify services completed. Curious as to whether or not the CSC issues is why I'm finding a lot of 2011-2014's with less than 40,000 miles, some as low as 25,000 miles. What all is involved in permanently resolving the CSC issues, if that is at all possible?

More importantly, what should I be looking for in a used 370Z to know that this part has already failed? In addition, should I budget into my purchase price the upgraded (I know an aftermarket CSC exists) CSC as well as the repair costs?

Permanent solution to CSC is to purchase a Z1 CSC elimination kit.

Do you have hands to do mechanical job on your cars such as doing this type of transmission swap of the CSC to Z1 elimination kit? If your doing it in the Dealership maybe approximately 1.5K labor cost plus the Z1 kit.

Look it up on their website.

There is no way knowing when the CSC would fails its not based on the mileage.
Ive seen people post here theirs broken at 15K, others have 60K miles yet has not not have issues. Mine is already 40K miles no issues still.

Another common issue is the rear differential bushing another PTA isuues to replace not too expensive the part cost. But again a labor intensive job to do.
My technician at Nissan charge $95 an hr to fix my car.

Btw how much is your buget? Is this your weekend car or DD?

Btw people do not sell their cars because of the CSC problem but rather the car is old model people tend to upgrade to newer model cars or some life changing events like having babies need to buy a SUV or truck.

Not because of CSC issues. All sports cars whatever brand have their own issues.
Your buying a used vehicle. Ask for extended warranty if that makes you feel secure.

I do have a fair amount of experience working on cars (and motorcycles) and have been doing so since early high school.

This is going to be a daily driver for me, something I can drive everywhere.

I was aware of the rear sub-frame bushing being a failure point as well. I guess I will have to carefully look the car over to eliminate everything else except for the transmission.

Anything else to look out for?

I'd rather not get into budget and all that, still early in the search.
