Ended up getting rid of mine for a couple of reasons.
The first was reliability. ECU whining. Engine oil burning. VVEL control errors post-engine swap. Just didn't inspire much confidence. The second was service. It was a constant battle to get a dealer (went to several) to acknowledge a problem. I understand this is usually the case everywhere, but it put a pretty sour taste in my mouth. The third is Nissan corporate in general and the way they've handled (or not handled) this steering lock problem. The GTR gets a recall. Every other vehicle with the same part gets the cold shoulder. It's not that they don't know a problem exists. They removed the lock from current models completely, yet they still charge people an arm and a leg for a "fix" rather than just owning up to the issue and issuing a recall to pull a stupid fuse. I just can't support behavior like that. :/ |

 I didn't know you sold your car actually! And at the moment I'm having that dealer problem too vs back in Houston I could make up a problem and they'd ACTUALLY diagnose it, they even fixed problems that I didn't even know about! And about the steering lock. It shows how shítty a company is to let that slide, BUT they did FINALLY recall it even though their solution is still a crappy one

Its what you want and what you enjoy.....
sometimes we just want a change with my Z, I have had no major problems. biggest complaint is the paint, and I need to do something about that.... I also have the habit of lightly hitting curbs....

Your always helping everyone with their Z's and giving them advice about mods and stuff about the car in general, but all of a sudden you regret buying the car?

I LOVED the car for the first 6 months... But for the past 7-8, I've HATED it... And I have dealt with............ 15-20 Nissan dealershits in 2 years, called corporate 30+ times, I've helped people reclaim THOUSANDS of dollars from Corporate. I've been around the Nissan block enough for a few lifetimes. So I KNOW the way they operate, I KNOW the way dealers can operate, and I make it KNOWN that if they play games, I fúck them back...

TOTALLY RUINED THE QUOTE (FROM CAPTAIN CAPS LOCK) "The fact that you've got 'replica' written down the side of your gun, and the fact that I've got, 'Desert Eagle, point five 0' written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now, Fůck off"

I like to think I'm not an ásshole, so I like to help out I really enjoy the forum and 99% of it's members, so I like to help out I really enjoy helping people fix their car problems because I like working on cars And I really, REALLY enjoy making corporate, of any company lose just a bit more money. And as I posted on another thread just 2 min ago: Lol!!! Hey, if someone wants a 370, I'll still give them advice, if someone is on the fence, I'll tell them to get something else Maybe I have REALLY shítty luck But at the same time there's this list of generic problems:  They didn't fix ANY of that on the 370Z

I would love to have gotten a v8 m3, big that's not in the Z's price range. My only regret is not getting the nismo, mainly just for its styling.
