Interesting. I'd be curious to know what this is.

I bought my Z new, and since day one it's occasionally felt like the transmission almost wants to grind going from 1-2 (and 1-2 only). These are...

The key here is, what tires are on your Z?

It's a 2009, so it's very possible that the original tires have been replaced by now. The OEM tires on the 370Z are "summer" tires, and they are...

That is an interesting attachment.

My '11 was built in July of 2011. I'd read about the infamous steering wheel lock problems here many times, but I figured that my Z was late enough to not be...

My Z is my DD, even in the winter. But I am fortunate to only live about 2 miles from my job, and I have a job where I can work from home if the weather is really bad. So my commute, even in snowy...

I was having a conversation with a co-worker a few weeks ago. The topic of learning/driving a manual transmission came up. The conversation concluded when he actually said, "oh yeah, I can drive a...

I sense that tempers may start to flare when the phrases, "first new car", "buying a Z", "parents", and "co-sign" start being put in the same post. Not from me, but just to give you a heads up on...

Sorry, I can't really help you with whether or not you'd get financing. I'm not a banker, just someone who's bought or has been "on point" with family members buying new cars every year or so for...

No need to really be "scared" of an OTD price. Yes, some sleazy dealerships can play games with fees & surcharges, especially if you're letting them arrange the financing. But IMHO, most won't if...

I understand the frustration, as it seems weird to run the AC in the winter. But I don't think this is unique to Nissan. I've owned a couple of Subarus, an Acura, a Saab, an Audi, and a couple of...

Perhaps m4a1mustang is going by the GVWR tag on the driver's door. On my '11, it states that the maximum passenger + cargo load is 432 lbs.

So, 600lbs in the trunk + driver + fuel = a seriously...

Sucks that folks were pissed off at the OP. Around here folks usually band together to help one another when the weather gets rough.

:iagree:

IMHO, the lack of a "Sport" setting on the traction/stability control system is one of the few legitimate disappointments of the Z.

As someone with a non-Sport, open-diff Z, I can attest that ABLS definitely does come into play with VCD off. I find that it's pretty easy to provoke ABLS in VCD-off, low-speed,...

I think there's actually someone in this thread that owns or works at an alignment shop in the St. Louis area. Might want to search this thread for 'alignment' and see if you get any hits.

I've got 10k miles on my 2011 6MT. I've noticed this exact sensation for a few thousand miles. Along with all the other clunks, rattles, & whirling noises, I assume it is "normal" for the 6MT.

Yes, but you have to go up-market.

Sub-Zero & Wolf ranges are still made in the US. Some Viking & KitchenAide small appliances (mixers, for example) are made in the US.
