Press number two unhooks again and then I can open the hatch fully.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I guess that makes three of us.

Strange- I actually only have to press it once. If the car is locked, as long as your key is nearby you just press the right button once. I never use the first lock/unlock button on the left.

1) The vibration that comes through the pedal when you push in the clutch.

2) First to second is very hard to do smoothly when driving normally...

i just started to learn how to drive stick.. this is my first manual transmission car. thursday night i took it out only problem i had was shifting into first... but shifting from first to second by the end of my hour driving i was doing as smooth as butter.

really? you guys dont feel like a buzzing from the cluth when press it? Maybe I'm not going far in enough..it doesn't do it when I put the pedal to the floor. It shouldn't do that though.

I get no vibration at all.

the butthole

SoCal 370Z · 03-02-2009, 11:32 AM

Items the Z is missing (digital is so 1984), but needs:

Analog clock
Oil Cooler
Distinctive Intelligent Remote catering to the Z
Glovebox iPod connections
Second rear deck compartment behind driver's seat
Overhead console sunglasses holder
Hard rubber vs. hard plastic front chin spoiler
Cargo net standard
Missing tools supplied
TPMS readout in lbs.

I take it these are complaints about what the Z should have, but doesn't?

At first glance, I thought you might be complaining about the listed items, but then I realized the Z doesn't have some of these. (I don't own one yet, so I wouldn't know better if not for this forum.)

My Homelink died had the car for 3 weeks HOPE this is the only thing that goes wrong .Taking my car BACK to the dealer to fix it. Let you know how they fix it.

I wish the 370 retained the 350's badass exhaust sound, but that can of course be obtained aftermarket.

1. I get the vibration with the synchroRev Match on but if I turn it off, all goes away.

It seems to me, many forget they bought a sports car here - not a luxo-sports car like the G37

.

Yeah, its street legal, but one could also say that the Ariel Atom can be made street legal. Wheres the telescoping steering wheel and heated mirrors in that?!!?

I dont own one yet, but these Im sure would be my chief complaints, barring any mechanical issues I run into:

-Fuel gauge pod looks completely out of place - make it look like the tach/speedo.
-Aluminum pedals would be nice, but nothing particularly REQUIRED...
-Oil cooler should be standard, or at least a factory option if the overheating problems are as apparent as everyone makes them seem.
-Exhaust note should be more pronounced and less "strangled"
-An oil pressure gauge would be dandy

I felt the same way, but it quickly becomes familiar, and at home where is it. The digital clock still bothers me as it is just not right, an analog clock would have been perfect.

I think I foresee myself taking out the bezel and painting it a flat black to blend in that much better. But, thats me.
