2013 Nissan Z

If so few had the oil burning problems then Nissan would not have issued a TSB.

Nissan issued the TSB because there are significant amounts of engines with the oil burning problem in the 370z.

Think about it.

Erm, I owned a '06 350z with a revup. Drove it for close to 120k miles before selling it. The first engine burned oil. I went through the TSB replacement guidelines and received a new engine at 59k miles. Not a drop of oil burned after that.

You're correct that they dropped the ball with the revup engine. However, mistakes happen, and as long as it's covered by warranty, I have no problem with them fixing it and me enjoying the vehicle. You need to relax.

This was simply not a mistake my friend. Nissan tried to deny a problem that truly existed. Nissan did not come forth until three years later.
Nissan dragged their feet on this for as long as they could hoping warranties would be up.

Nissan was denying a problem that existed. Nissan lied to the American consumer that their engines were bullet proof. Dealerships would fill the oil up and tell the owner to come back after 1000 miles for an oil inspection.
When owners came back the dealerships would simply put more oil in and tell the customer that everything was good and that their engines weren't burning oil.

Thousands of engines were bad. Nissan = Filthy stinking liars.

Some people have had good luck. Good for them.
But Nissan kept producing engines that they new were not going to last.
Nissan Corp spit on the American consumer and treated us like consumable trash and laughed all the way to the bank.

This I will not forget or forgive. The problem still exists with the 370z and the G37.

This is not a coincidence.

They released the TSB 11/27/07. I dunno, whatever.

I want a Z

I like that look, sort of looks like an Aston
Hope they stick with a gas engine

AlphaSnacks

That's because it is a photoshop of an Aston. This is not an actual design from Nissan...

Again, the car is real. The photos of it with the white backdrop are real.

It's simply a concept. However, I wouldn't say it's far-fetched to see Nissan push out a hybrid Z, especially if the Leaf ends up being successful.

It is, 149 inches in length, 67 inches wide, and 49 inches high.



It weighs two thousand two hundred pounds--2,200 lbs.!

That hybrid motor I believe is based off of a VQ35DE motor, either that or a VQ35HR. I would not be interested unless it was a VQ37VHR Hybrid or at least an HR. DE motors FTL.

The VQ35DE is built in Iwaki and Decherd, TN. It was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list from 2002 through to 2007. It features forged steel connecting rods, a microfinished one-piece forged crankshaft, and Nissan's nylon intake manifold technology. It has low-friction molybdenum-coated pistons and the intake is a high-flow tuned induction system.

Best, most reliable engine I've ever owned and doesn't use up any oil at all. I change the oil and 4000 to 5000 miles later, it's still topped off.

The designer of the 370z stated at Zcon last year that Nissan is already working on and designing the next generation Z.

The Z is definitely not dead, and yes, it will be a new vehicle. I'm betting on hybrid, myself, especially given Nissan's current leanings toward battery tech.

Sounds heavy. Havent seen a lightweight hybrid yet. Maybe 2009 to 2012 370 will be last true sports car from Nissan?

Mt Tam I am

A car must preform significantly better than my current car. The 350 was not worth buying over my then DD 300 ZXtt, in order to justify the money. For 360 HP vs my 370 /c mods, I would pass. With a 76 mph slalom I would.
