MAJOR 370Z Recall!?!?!?
 
So, with the new mustang out that has kicked up the horsepower numbers and is now beating the Z in acceleration and breaking, do yall think Nissan will recall the 370z's and add more performance to them so they can keep up with the newer mustang? Maybe at least a TSB with an ECU re-tune?
















:ugh2: :eekdance:

That would be great, because I am feeling the heat that these new 5.0 Mustangs have and Nissan needs to reward use early buyers. :ughdance:

Vegitto-kun 04-06-2010 12:52 PM

I can only say.

keep on dreaming

Ya, they are going to recall it....but no one will go in to get it done because they have put the mustang body on to get the extra power, and none of us want to drive around something that looks like shit

Wow...keep holding out hope, but Nissan's not dumb. They aren't going to recall 2 year's worth of cars in order to give away free power. That's like if Ford said they were recalling all 2009-2010 Mustang GT's, because the Camaro SS and Challenger SRT8 have 100+more HP. You bought an early-model 370z. Congratulations. Your purchase has helped the aftermarket form for this car. However, you can't expect Nissan to penalize itself for the date of your purchase.

Modshack 04-06-2010 12:59 PM

Bwahaha! The Z and the Mustang only compete with each other in the minds of 18 yr. olds...

Comparing the two is like masturbating. It may feel good to you, but Ur gurlfriend is gonna be gone with the guy in the sexier car...:icon18:

I really feel that Nissan is dropping the ball and may lose customers if they dont go back and fix the current 370's out on the road. I mean come on lets be real how much can yalls egos take when that blue oval is pulling away?

I'm not sure I understand this part about fixing the current 370s on the road. They're not broken. What's there to fix?

No it was just a simple question of whether Nissan will step up to the plate or not. You can take your penis fantasy somewhere else.:gtfo2: :tiphat:

What plate would that be? You seem to be a pretty one dimensional Wannabee car guy. Grow a few whiskers and you may find cars are about more than drag racing.....I really don't expect you to "get it" though based on your posts...

Its not that impressive, take a 4.6 bore it out to 5.0 and add 1 valve per cylinder and variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust.

Basically 98-04 cobra engine with bigger displacement and variable valve timing. Cant wait to see Direct injection thrown at it as well.

Granted the numbers are nice.

Rednek, I'm fairly confident that this engine was built from the ground up. I don't think anything is shared with the outgoing 4.6 outside the fact its considered a mod motor.

m4a1mustang 04-06-2010 02:02 PM

In 1999 Ford recalled some Cobras to give them moar powarrrr!

+1. The Coyote is a new design.

to answer ur question NO nissan will not recall the Z to add more power...the only way that this would possible come into play if Nissan grossly misrepresented the power output in someway..ie Mazda misrepresented the power output in the Rx-8 (genesis 13b) and this did not go over to well with owners...if i can remember Mazda still did not recall/flash the ecu for more power gain..I see no misrepresentation on Nissans part for false numbers here.

A GT-R, maybe?...

Yeah, Nissan is recalling all 370Zs and exchanging them for GT-Rs (with full warranty). :icon18:

Can I nominate this thread for “MOST STUPID THRED EVER STARTED” on the370Z.com?

The new Mustang is a fine car…it’s putting up some very good numbers and clearly, Ford has come a long, long way. I respect Mustangs.

That said, I wouldn’t own one if it were handed to me for free on a silver platter and the only option of not taking it would be to have acid poured down my throat followed by 10,000 fire ants being poured on top of my head.

More importantly, ANYBODY who buys a new car and expects that some other manufacturer one or two years down the road won’t come out with something putting out better numbers is going to face one of two outcomes in life, they will either…

Be continually disappointed after owning their new car only a short while (regardless of what brand/model new car they bought, OR
<o>
</o>They will go broke buying the latest, greatest, hottest thing every 6-18 months.
