I feel like I am driving an old clunker when at low speed my brakes are making an awful noise and heads turn.

I'll mark, then reinstall, the XP's in March, when the track season begins.

Even if by some miracle and I ended up on a track, the stock pads in winter would probably suffice. Heck I ran several events (slower) with them before. I am already dreaming about going back.

Just playing around with my camera last night. No photoshop here. Anyone have pointers to making this better?

Got pulled over for 57 mph in a 35 mph this morning :shakes head: It's an incredibly low speed limit for a frontage road, and there are always people driving 60 mph down it. The cop said he understood and told me he had recently looked at getting a 370Z. He then proceeded to give me a warning :tup: :tup: :tup: :bigsighofrelief:

I have yet to experience said delay. The only delay I experience is very occasionally when I push the start button before I have the clutch pedal pushed down far enough :icon17:

My delay is intermittent but never so bad that I'm not super glad that I have that horrible, unreliable system pulled/deactivated. I just read in another thread about a guy stuck at the airport lot, in the rain, with a bad steering lock servo. He banged and kicked waiting for a flatbed to arrive then luckily he got the damn lock to kick loose. (he had a replacement later model lock in there...) What a horrible ordeal.

Some things I am disappointed about:

Horrible...
1. Oil cooler
2. Steering lock.

dissapointing...
3. road noise (I know its a sport car... but wow. loud)
4. Crappy clutch. (poor Feel, Vague or something... you all know what I mean)

All have pretty easy fixes. But Nissan has engineers who should have sorted this crap pre-delivery. Oh well. I've addressed all this stuff in my car (and more) and now I LOVE IT. Perhaps fixing the weaknesses make me even love it more.

The Z is definitely a diamond in the rough as it sits at the dealership.

Another Delay This Morning. Not A Big Deal But It Makes Me Think My Battery Is Dying.

Gonna go wash her up, haven't gotten the chance in about two weeks, which is a new streak for me. Hah

:iagree: It is weird, but it does start so why do we worry? Because it is worrisome.

I had an occasional delay before too, so I did not even know folks found a correlation.

Has anyone had a recurring coolant leak issue? A few months ago mine was fixed by the dealership. Today during inspection my coolant level is low and there's evidence of a leak.

Drove it home in the rain last night.

It's raining again today... I still want to go for a drive.

Sorry for you, but I hope this isolated.
