Lets take a V8 engine, it sounds a certain way because of the V8, that is a characteristic. Lets look at the Camaro drive shaft, it broke under hard launches in the early versions of the car, supposedly fixed now by changing a few things.

The Z transmission is built a certain way and has certain characteristics to it, either trade in the car or deal with it.
As I said I like the car alot but disappointed in the quality of the present 370 and past 350's issues that continue by nissan?
For example you believe nissan was unaware of the shifting glitch between 1st and 2nd gear on the 6 spd?They just passed it along to the customer!
Characteristics has nothing to do with faulty parts and nissan ignoring issues with this car.

Again, why do you have a 370z? Nissan's quality is very good...on par with the other car makers. If you want a pinnacle of perfection, go try and find it for under $40k from Chevy, Ford/Mazda or other imports.

Then...should you appear to find it, find one that provides such a great experience each time the engine fires and heads snap to look at you in the Z. Furthermore, then find a 40-year heritage going back to the late sixties when the Z was brought to market.

The other options you will be looking at will include:

#1) ______________ *crickets*....


Enjoy the car, man...you're on a Z forum with great people!

I'am enjoying the car.
The point I'am making is that Nissan has had continous issues with the 350's over the years and never acknowledeged it!How many have had 350's that burn more oil then normal?So these people are just supposed to settle for "well thats the way it is"?There are other issues also over the years.
It has nothing to do with the price of the car either.
I have had many foreign cars over the years and this is my first nissan. There quality control is not up to par with other foreign manufacturers!
Nissan hasn't recognized some issues in the past with the Z car and now a new model with issues is not good quality control.My point is they will say it is a trait of there trans,paint or whatever the issue most of the time.So anotherwards the public must eat the issue!Poor business!
As for Toyota having a recall?Any manufacturer can have a recall cause of faulty parts.At least they recognize it and stand behind it.How many recalls have you ever heard of on any Z car now or over the years on the 350's?Tell me they never had any issues?Tell me there weren't and still complaints from purchasers of the past 350"s and the 370's?
There are plenty complaints on this forum to back that up.I understand no car is perfect but to my experience every other foreign brand I ever owned was a step above nissan's quality.
Thats my opinion but despite that I will enjoy the car and maybe nissan in the future will step up to the plate a few notches with the Z car for all the Z buffs!
