Question Any problems with the 2013?

been reading the forums the past couple of day and it seems like the 370 has more issues than the 350 ever had.
Should I actually be looking for a warranty for a Nissan??? Never had a problem with the 350 just the occasional clutch rattle.

The only guaranteed problem you will have is the CSC if you buy a manual. I'm not sure what you've been reading, but these are very solid cars other than clutch hydraulics. And a Nissan warranty will get you absolutely nothing when the CSC goes out. Keep $1k in your pocket at all times for the inevitable replacement, or buy the auto.

The biggest problem with my '13 is that my right foot seems to be a lot heavier than when I had slower, boring vehicles.

the biggest issue is you will get addicted to it so badly and you'll just can't stop driving it...

and til you can finally park it and get out of the car then you can't stop looking at it,

and til you can finally turn around and get back into your house then you can't stop searching for mods,

and til you can turn off the computer then you can't stop thinking about it,

and til you can finally stop thinking about it then you can't stop your wife/girlfriend smashing your head!!


ya... huge issue.... to many 370z owners since 2009.....

The rear diff bushings where trashed in my '13 by 45k miles. That and the CSC are the only real issues I have found.

No issues on mine in 26k miles, but I think I need to replace my VLSD. I also do a bit of autocross and road racing so I just wore it out. No issue on my CSC yet, but I'll be upgrading it when I change out the clutch and flywheel this summer, only because it's right there and I might as well.

So, my 2013 just became my highest mileage vehicle yet (out of some 30 cars/trucks/bikes) crossing the magic 111,111 last week. Many suspension and intake/exhaust mods applied over the miles, but so far only standard dealer maintenance. Although a manual - no CSC issue - yet. While not tracked, it is regularly driven very hard. And it’s a full 4-seasons DD with winter gear on from Nov - Mar. Unbelievable really.

My standard shift 2013 now has 77 thou miles, bought brand new. No problems at all, except for the totally useless seat, obviously designed for tiny Asian butts. Replaced it the first week.

Car is used 97 percent for long road trips. ( Alabama to Oregon / Cal / Vermont etc.)

The other 3 percent is on the Grand Prix -type tracks that my car club rents twice a year.
