Here's what I've dealt or am dealing with:
  • CSC/Master replaced
  • Transmission replaced twice
  • Both seat belts replaced (wouldn't retract well)
  • Power steering rack (might replace again as the new one is also making noise after a couple of months)
  • Axle clunk (will resolve in a few months when replacing rear tires)
  • Heater core noise (still some air bubbles causing car to overheat in 100F ambient)
  • ECU whine (too lazy to deal without having to unlock and reprogram)
  • Brake switch (finally replaced after dealing with throttle lag and hesitation for years)
  • Driver side window rattle (haven't fixed)
AFAIK, nothing related to running the car with turbos. It's a pain, but the list of these issues is much longer than the '03 350Z.

I have a 2012 370z touring roadster w/sport pkg, spoiler, fully loaded every option available, 9 months old and I just turned 3,000 miles.
Thats because my 1996 300zx tt is SOOOOOOOO much more fun to drive. Almost totally rebuilt, the 370z is tame compared to the 300.
I really think Nissan should have kept their cars turbo's.

The 370Z with twin turbos is definitely super fun to drive even though I put up with a laundry list of minor issues that can be remedied or repaired. However, the 350/370 is definitely missing something from the 300ZX. I even tried blasting 80s music, too! :icon17:

Unrelated, I don't think my next car will be a new one. It'll be something not much newer than the early 2000s. [shrugs] All the new cars come loaded with stuff, which is also loaded with problems with questionable build quality. I'd rather go back to something simpler.

Finally gave in and brought the z to the dealership, for the 2nd gear clunk.. Which is now beginning to grind. Fml -...-

I'm nearing one yr of ownership and 30k miles on my 09, 9k miles when i bought it.

I had the SB done for the tired hatch springs under warranty and thats it. Oil changes, tires and smiles. I pulled the fuse for the steering lock about 6k miles ago. Daily driver, been on 10 hr one way road trips too.

my car is making weird noises(it sounds like it has cams when it doesnt) and the techs at the nissan dealership said its normal
a side from that i have to replace tires, and when csc goes out im upgrading to light weight flywheel and aftermarket csc

oh and i have to install an oil cooler because of heat issues(nissan is selling me a stillen 25 row for $600 installed)

Then again I'm either too lazy or it doesn't bother me enough to get it fixed.

Same boat, often forget and probably too lazy lol...happens every now and then lol

there's a bulletin... buts stiffer springs in the little rubber bumpers for the iniotial push. even then, mine still gets fussy if it's cold.... i'm sure the lift cylinders are part of the equation too.
