Yeah, well with the way they're handling this, I'm not gonna spend any more money with them, on service or anything else. The 370Z is the ninth Nissan I've purchased in my life thus far. It's also probably the last, as I try not to make a habit of doing business with people or companies with deceptive/fraudulent business practices (e.g., sending out 'ringers' to the press fleet for marketing purposes). You know how people frequently come up to us new 370Z owners to ask us about our cars? Starting today, I will make a point to warn everyone who asks me about the car to stay away not only from the 370Z, but from Nissan as a company. In a nutshell, if Nissan isn't going to step up for us, I'm sure as hell not going to step up for them.

Edit: Lou, I know you're a Nissan dealer, so I just want to be clear that my remarks weren't intended as a jab towards you or anything like that. It's the parent company that has me riled up, not the dealers. (Gee, I think this role reversal is a first for me.

Sounds like a plan to me, I'm all in.

Just kidding, I understand everyone's frustration. Believe me it's hard to be a Dealer/Enthusiast and watch this go on, and not be able to get Nissan to step up on their own product. But we(the dealers) have to abide by Nissan's guidelines or we don't get reimbursed. I know I would love to fix everyone's problems, but at some point it becomes to costly for us, especailly when we are getting the support either. Semtex, you weren't out of line, no worries.

No offense is meant towards Lou, you have been very helpful and informative to myself and others on this forum. I know you have no control over what Nissan does.

for the record don't be surprised if future model year Zs do come with an oil cooler.
