Picked my car up.
-I noted some SMALL amounts of trash near the edges of a couple of panels, but otherwise the paint and matching was flawless. This is very minor, literally one pebble-ding and "more damage" would be present than that. I have seen new cars with similar on show-room floors (C6 'vette). -Body panel alignment is excellent except for one side of the rear-bumper which they readily agreed to fix this Tuesday. -One TPMS sensor is dead. It was new, and arrived that way, and none were available to replace it with in this area. It will be replaced at the same time the bumper is adjusted. -Just looking at the car, the front tires/rims look to have more camber to them than I remember, and the car pushes a lot less in corners than I remember (A product of driving a Kia Optima for a month?). I really like how it feels, and I think it feels a lot more neutral than I remember it, again, maybe just in my head. Whatever the case, it reminds me a little of my old Z06. The front end feels "lighter" than I recall and weights up nicely in a corner and doesn't push. I like it. -The Michelin PSS tires are what this car should have come with. Potenza's are pure junk compared to these. Very pleased. Maybe that's also part of the handling improvements, I bet so. Very good tire. -Unless I discover something horrible, I'm keeping my 370. They replaced everything with OEM Nissan parts, and the paint job matches flawlessly as best I can tell, it would be stupid to flip the car 1 year into ownership when I don't have any equity in it and am trying to move later this year. |
Welcome to the PSS club. They make everything better.

It doesn't take a lot of money to make handling excellent. You just don't listen to us. lol |

Well, the brakes are messed up again. I doubt the wreck caused it as much as me just driving the car every day and getting used to it as it progressed and then being out of it for over a month, I can immediately tell after my first abrupt slowing from highway speeds that the rotors are warped again. I'm going to have Nissan just replace it. They turned it down a LOT last time to get all the warp out of it. I have literally never seen a rotor this pathetic. That's the one thing I do keep missing about my 'vette. It was made to stand up to AT LEAST daily driving duties :(
*sigh* Glad to have her back, but annoyed at the constant piddly repairs that this thing has to have to remain enjoyable. Yes, I'm keeping it, but no, I'll never subject myself to another Nissan product. WAY! too maintenance intensive. Definitely getting extended warranty on this car. I recommend it to everyone who owns one of these. I'm still waiting for my power-steering to go out. Groans like some of the old donks I see on the bad side of town, but Nissan says "Normal". Oh, well, wait until it goes TU and have it replaced. *sigh*. Yeah, frustrated. Sucks. Hate all the corners Nissan cut on such a beautiful vehicle. |
Rotors rarely warp, it's pad deposits.

The key is to bed your pads in properly. If you are lucky, you might be able to remove them by running the brakes really hard and basically re-bed them. You have to either smell the brakes or fade the brakes to a point where you don't have a pedal anymore.

Had my 2011 sport package Z for a little over a year and have no idea what the heck you're talking about as far as rotors warping. Have had to stomp on the brakes more than enough living in southern california and never had any problems with the brakes afterwards. |
