My guess is that the 2010's will have an oil pressure gauge to replace the oil temp gauge. That will really freak out the paranoidals.

I was going to say the same thing. Removing the gauge may just fix the problem. They could put in one of those silly g-force gauges that my Sentra Spec-V had. The needle on that thing never moved.

If you're referring to me, I didn't trash the Corvette.

When the car performance dissipates, you know there is a problem.

I'm not trashing the car, I love mine. I would just like to know that they won't void my warranty to fix a hi oil temperture issue......... I don't track mine. I also haven't been trashing any other issues on the car.

I'd put money on that too!

BMW caved, addressed and fixed the issue. Nissan was slow on some issues on the 350 as well, the worst the rev ups oil consumption issue, people had to really get on them.

I hit 260+ on a test drive. Yes, I live in AZ. Nissan has a test track here, so something needs to be done. I drove the Z on my test drive like I drive normally and to see it shoot up so quickly was disconcerting.

It's an amazing car and nothing like it for the money, kudos to those enjoying theirs. I would like to see the oil issue addressed before pulling the trigger.

I believe the G37 had similar issues, and I would've though Nissan would learn a lesson or so when launching the 370Z. Granted, I love my car and have no regrets. The highest oil temp I saw on 85 degree weather was 220 degrees. It was from some brisk driving with too many stop and go traffic (tons of construction).

Does the oil temp run about the same with automatics as sticks?

+1 rep...I agree :)

I have to laugh at this.....


You live up North for crying out loud, I'd be more worried about a Block heater than an oil cooler.

Anyways it was 101 in Texas today and I ran the car out in the Hill Country with not even a hint of oil overheating of any sort.

Keep holding out, keeps the traffic down.

Naysayers bashed the 350 also
 

Gang,

Is this a 370 problem only or was it there on the 350 also? Oh we don't know, is that the answer? Why don't we know? I'll bet I may have the answer? The 350 didn't have an Oil Temp Gage and the 370 does. If that is the answer then I have a solution for the over heating problem on the 370? PUT SOME MASKING TAPE OVER THE GAGE SO YOU DON'T SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!:stirthepot: Problem solved............

BTW you naysayers are all alike.......... My dear old departed Grandmother used to say "If you can't say something nice about someone (in this case the 370) don't say anything at all". Also if you can't afford it or can't get a loan for it why don't you take your jealousy and just leave this forum to those of us who do enjoy it.
:tiphat:

Hang on a second so I can get my flame suit on. Okay, got it on so flame away.
:yawn:

Anyone have a list of # of Z's sold in Canada? or a link?

"Martyrdom"

Do you take pride in humiliating, discrediting and insulting other forum members personal opinions?

Scratch that last question. It's obvious you take great satisfaction in it.

Nothing was deemed in our responses to this thread that would imply that you should not enjoy your new Z. Let me be opened minded and congratulate you on your worthwhile purchase on an otherwise fine vehicle.

I will respect you as a forum member. But respect begets respect.

Rather Nissan has left many of us with a significant level of pessimism.

The "Hot Oil" concern is a mountainess quandary.
It is difficult to give Nissan a large field of lattitude on this subject.

For those of you that voice your concern, I will applaud you.
For you should be proud to be a REAL ENTHUSIAST AND NOT JUST SHEEPLE.

So that's 7,203 of the 10,000 cars they are going to roll out for the 2009 model year.

They only have to average 932.33 for the next three months and they will have sold all of the production estimates by the end of third quarter.


A few other points for thought for lower May sales:

• People are planning summer expenditures...ie vacations
• Attitude, May already, 4th of July sales are coming soon
• Holding out thinking that with the economy the way it is and not recovering, maybe there will be better financing options (lower rates) available

I believe the revised production estimate for the 370Z ( originally it was 30,000 worldwide), was 10,000 worldwide and 7,000 for the U.S. I don't know if Nissan issues any kind of breakdown other than total sales?
