It's here 24/7

What's the fix for gas pedal delay. Sometimes it sluggish off a full start at a traffic light.

Driver's training.

That ain't even funny.

< curb King. :icon14:

since i bought my 370 none of the above.....

though i did get hacked off last week when the strap that holds the fuel cap
in place while your filling up snapped off.:eek:

Gas cap still under warranty?

Thats probably traction control kicking in. Turn VDC off yo

You can buy my car. It struggles to get up the RPM after every corner, not just at the traffic light. And best of all, there is no fix as of yet. yay!

retuned ecu.

Red where did you get your ecu retuned?

I have gas pedal delay and slugish around corners as well..

oil cooler and VDC off should fix the gas pedal delay issue.

The biggest problem with the Z is hot chix wanna ride in your car in groups of 3, but there is only have one seat. Second problem is, being married and hot chix still wanna ride in the Z. Another problem is, coming out of stores and restaurants, you might find droolers and gawkers around your ride???
Other issues or symptoms of Z ownership may be may be muscle car drivers envying your cars uniqueness, which may cause them to spew rants of v8 superiority. Hateration from germaphilles. and finally your biggest problem will be keeping your azz out the drivers seat. The Z is way too addicting. That cockpit design just makes you feel like you're flying a fighter jet. After a little bit you begin to believe it is and you will want to make the car fly:driving:

Which is great until you start cutting off trucks...

I didnt, but check uprev, Cobb, etc

Yes, the biggest problem is the "girlfriend jealousy factor" that my gf exhibits when we pull up somewhere and the other girls immediately start flirting with me in the car.

Biggest problem seems to be the Z's attraction to bricks and the wheel's love to roll off to craig's list.

:iagree:

The number one problem..... people complaining about what's wrong with this car!

Ash tray keeps getting full. Otherwise, no problems with my car.

:iagree:

common problem #1: VDC being off

There is an easy fix for that… For smokers, the world is their ash tray. :stirthepot:

littering is as illegal as street racing

In all fairness, it isn't the CAR... it's the owners!

:icon18:

:iagree:x2

Can i say the #1 and only problem is it being too small to have sex in it ?.... Was trying to get that off of my bucket list....

it all depends on how you plan to drive your car.

only serious problems i can think of

DD - cant really think of anything, besides road noise :stirthepot: jk :)

Spirited second car - oil temps, POSSIBLY fuel starvation w a low tank

Track car - fuel starvation, oil cooler, ABS, brakes, etc.


And finding a dealer that actually will fix your car :shakes head:

For me (in 5 months of ownership and 2,800 miles)...

1. Diver foot rest (small aluminum part) is some weak piece just there for looks. I put too much pressure on it and it bent. Looks like crap now.

2. A couple places where paint has peeled from plastic pieces where they mate against the sheet metal. Want dealer to fix but they'll probably just dab touch up paint on there.

3. Oil temps. This summer I've run about 220 degrees just freeway driving and if I have to climb a grade it hits 250 degrees easily. No, I'm not heavy on the pedal and yes, oil level is perfect.

4. I get some kind of wind noise on driver side pillar (by windshield) and it's very annoying.

5. The AT shifts pretty quick in manual mode but the 2-3 shift is sluggish. Not really a problem just annoying.

My Z is perfect in every way for what I need and expect it to do. Haven't had a single problem that is worth complaining about.

2,800 miles in 5 months? Drive that thing!!! :tiphat:

Hilarious..!!!
 

HAHAHAHAHA..!! Something to look forward to.. 6 days until I pick up my 2013 370Z..! :D

This is my 2nd 370 and don't have any issues.

Second 370Z as well. First one was FI after the odometer hit 2800 miles up until I traded it in at 19,900. That was on a stock block and tranny, I also ran the piss out of it. It still had zero issues when I put it back to stock. Strong cars.

I think nissan did that did that on purpose so that you dont spin out or cause your traction to kick in all the time.

My first 09 and no issues

intake, hfc, or intake and non-resonated midpipe

VDC off.

Noooooo!!!!!!!!! Don't do it
