KaienZ34 · 11-12-2011, 03:56 PM

You guys better keep it on topic or else you risk getting in trouble.

If we are picking at the Z i wish i had a heated steering wheel to go with my heated seats. O and i hate the stupid nissan burger emblem on the front bumper it looks like a big azz button.

The steering wheel doesn't telescope.

I have normal size torso, long legs. I want the seat all the way back, but then I have to stretch my arms/curl my back. PEBSWAS?

The high beam light is too bright and the volume control on the steering wheel should be swapped with the toggle switch.

Yes to both of these.
Only time you'd want to turn on high beams is when it's hard to see. Why is the blue dash light so blinding?????????????

Seriously, right?!?!? When it's that dark out, I also usually have the dash/gauge lights dimmed down pretty far.

UKNOWN's contradictory fanboy rant aside, I think my car is basically perfect for what I bought it for and how I intend to use it. The fact that my complaints are minor things like a high beam indicator that blinds me at night or a toggle switch that is easily bumped and changes the radio station during fast handiwork of the steering wheel is a testament to my car being suited to me and my driving style.

I have yet to need an oil cooler since my car was built to be driven on public roadways.
The brakes have never given up on me. It came with enough power. My car didn't "need" any of the mods I performed on it.

If the measure of a perfect car that's missing essential pieces of equipment to do something it wasn't designed for, along with its mod-ability, then we'd all be playing with turboed Civics.

Fanboy would be to say that the Z is the only best car out there. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying for the types of complaints that are thru this complaint list. There are better cars suited for quite a few. That's what I'm saying. As far as lights. The are HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LIGHTS. THEY MAKE A PROJECTOR DOWNGRADE LIGHT FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THE Hi-DISCHARGE LIGHT IS TOO INTENSE.

That's what I mean about silly complaints. I don't contradict myself. I'm just saying. If we are going to make a complaint. Let it be something that is condusive to what this car is designed to do and not doing.
Truth is not EVERY car is built for every person. There's nothing fanboy about it. Its just true.

Agreed. The headlights on my Z kick a**!
I don't know why anyone would want less light output to see the road with.

FYI - the complaint wasn't about the headlights (which are awesome). The complaint was about the dashboard indicator light for the high beams. It is full brightness light that's not affected by dimming the dash and makes it harder to see.

Blind spots but other than that loving the car lots of fun.

Mikes350z · 11-12-2011, 10:42 PM

Just got mine 3 weeks ago, biggest complaint coming from a 350z, no digital MPH in the gauge cluster... then no rear wiper.

Also why do i have the ipod connector when i cant connect it while keeping the cup holder center console in its spot. IDK where to put it when i plug in my iphone?

Where do you guys move the insert in the console to?

Also, ive had some clunking issues with into first when going slow, into second when slow and thats the only times, im not new to manual so i dont think its me?

Any one with similar issues bring it to dealer?

Otherwise, love my new Z same feeling i had every day in the 350 but even better!
