Any Mechanical Issues I should know about

About to buy a NISMO....

I have being very cautious and please forgive me for asking this question..but honestly I am trying to find a car that is mechanically sound and reliable.
I have owned, had friends that have owned, or read of mechanical issues on many cars...like for example
1. Corvette Z06 valve train issues causing engine failure
2. Mustang: Piston #8 failure causing engine failure
3. BMW M3: bearing clearance issues causing engine failure
4. Cobalt SS turbo: Porus block causing engine failure
Etc etc.....

I know that most of these problems are probably fairly rare or with modifications made worse....however they are obvious and I would like to buy a car that does not have these potential known and documented problems....

Can you guys comment on any issues on the 370Z NISMO that have popped up....recently or in the past...??

Thanks for your help guys ...plan on buying in a couple of weeks so just trying to do my research in advance!!
