One thing I hate about my Z

Geoff-AU · 09-28-2019, 04:12 AM

My issue with the shift has nothing to do with the clutch, but the gearbox synchros. If I shift between 3,000 and 4,000RPM, 2nd gear grinds or "catches" on the selector every time. It does this until I've been driving for at least 45 minutes after which it's smooth. This is even with taking my time shifting gears, not rushing it.

The only cure (as I read on here) is to shift REALLY slowly 1st->2nd, or rev to 4,000RPM first and shift faster.

Kinda annoying having to drive around it.

The fuel starve issue with the 370Z is probably the most annoying issue I have had with my 370Z and I have had very few. Overall the 370Z when comparing to similar vehicles on the market they are very reliable/dependable but every vehicle has it’s corks. On the street and on the track a specially the fuel starve issue was always there. I found that depending on how hard you push your 370Z some owners got it and some did not. Myself just like a lot of people installed a fuel starve kit on my Z and it was the fix for this issue.

The Z isn't the only car to have fuel starve.
