Some questions about 370z before buy

I understand the allure of FI but please take a lot of time reading this section if you decide to go that route. It is very involved and can be costly. The more information that you can take in the better.

Known problems would depend on year. Some older 09-11 did not have oil coolers, possible steering wheel lock and for everyone the CSC.
Start looking around in the various sections and if you are having trouble searching try going to google and searching like the following:

For most 370Z owners this probably doesn't matter, since it depends on how you drive the car and in what ambient temperature you drive. I've owned my '09 since May of '09 and have never had an issue with oil temp because I don't drive in hot ambient conditions and I don't track the car.

This isn't a problem "for everyone", just 6MT owners.
