How has your 370Z held up?

4r3s · 11-02-2011, 08:07 AM

DD all year 09 with touring package 30Kmi

leather: still looks good and feels soft no cracking for me.

rattles: Summer time there are none. Once it starts getting cold out ie now the rattles come out to play. These are intermittent rattles, the rear hatch can rattle, something on the passenger side can rattle, and the stupid overhead interior light fixture can rattle. I'm pretty sure I can fix all these but I keep putting it off till it gets warm outside and then I forget because they dont rattle when its warm out. Oh also the rear hatch sticks in the winter and not the summer and yes I've had the TSB fix for it.

THIS! Just started happening only in the mornings and its pretty annoying.

No major problems here. Coming up on 7,000 miles.

The majority of the 'problems' are caused by my car-OCD

Relatively minor issues:

I had an oil leak from a bolt that was maybe 6 inches above the oil filter location. I traced a trail of oil up to the bolt, tightened it, no more leaks after 1,500 miles. It felt like it was torqued to about 5 lb/ft before I tightened it..

My vents blow out warm air with the a/c off (no, heat is not on)

I'm probably forgetting some other minor thing I've posted about previously.
Happy with the car. It always starts when I need it to

Funny, my '07 Maxima does the same thing. It can be 68°F outside, the climate control temp will be set to something less than that (i.e. 65°F) and the vents are blowing what feels like 80°F air. A/C is off, and it's not in recirc mode either.

I haven't investigated if it's a temperature mix door not fully closing off the heater core or if it's drawing warm air from the engine compartment. Definitely something that make me wonder....
