370z Complaints so far?

KaienZ34 · 11-15-2011, 09:47 AM

I'm not tall at all and i can see over/past the side mirrors without any problems.

I find people who complain about side mirrors blocking view are the ones who have seating position set to 'gangsta lean'.

I'm 5'7" and find it sometimes hard to see the curb on a roundabout because of the mirrors.

wife's 5' 4" and she complains that the side mirrors block some of her view to the side/front

I'm 5' 10" and have no problems so at a certain height (or lack of height) it is an issue.

I'm almost 6'0" and the REAR view mirror sometimes blocks my view of a car to the right at a 4-way stop.

This, I'm 6'2 and it definately gets in my way more than anything else. I have actually considered removing the rear view mirror completely, but it hasn't annoyed me enough to get to that point.

What problem are you referring to?

omgitstai · 11-15-2011, 10:10 PM

My issue is similar to the post by MINICORBA1 on page 1 of this thread. Below is what i copy and paste from his post. Should i take it to the dealer or is this typical?

-CLUTCH CLUNK-
When going from first to second gear, if I haven't got the revs up to around 3k or above, when I depress the clutch to go to second it makes a very distinctive clunk sound. It only does it from first to second, and only if the rpms are low. I can also get it to surface if I'm in first going slowly in a parking lot and depress the clutch, I'll here it then too.
Anyone else experiencing this????

I've noticed the same thing. I only notice it in the parking lot because thats the only time when i shift into second so early (cant stand the whine of first gear...) when you shift into second make sure your foot is all the way off the gas and you have to wait a second from foot off of gas to clutch in. Otherwise it will make that clunk every time.

Which reminds me, anyone else annoyed by how loud first gear is? Sounds like im going in reverse too fast or something... oh and another thing, there is a certain rpm range where if i shift into 5th gear even if the clutch is to the floor it grinds... Im driving along going

shift into 5th and

My biggest complaint on the 370z is addictive.

And this situation on the 370z is much 'worse' than on the 350z.

I do, but as my tranny warms up it goes away.
