Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - How I will Deal with the 370Z "Problems/Concerns"

As some may know, getting Z on Friday. This long wait for it, and research before I even ordered, got me thinking on how I am going to deal with the "problems/concerns" I may or may not encounter.

Basically I am typing this because I am bored at work. Please do not read the rest of this if you have important stuff to do.

OIL TEMP ISSUE
I will pretend this is not a problem until I go into limp mode. I do not track or race so I'm not too worried.

FUEL GUAGE ISSUE
If vehicle dies on me during a hard right hand turn with a quarter tank of gas, I will try hard not to get hit by vehicles passing by me while I stand outside kicking the $hit out of the car.

PAINT ISSUE
My wife and I will be installing clearmask. If that fails and I have to drive without, I will never look at my hood and bumper for the life of my car. If you don't see a paint chip, is it really there?

BOSE SYSTEM
Talk radio sounds great on BOSE.

FUEL PRICES
Can't worry about crap I absolutely have no control over.

CABIN NOISE
Expected. It's a sports car. If my wife and I need to talk during a trip, we'll take another vehicle.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Drive it hard on the straights and finesse it on the turns. She can learn my habits while I learn about her. We should be alright.

FIGURING OUT START/STOP BUTTON
Keep pushing it in and out untill she does what I want.

HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING
Just wait. She'll start cooking soon enough.
