My delay is intermittent but never so bad that I'm not super glad that I have that horrible, unreliable system pulled/deactivated. I just read in another thread about a guy stuck at the airport lot, in the rain, with a bad steering lock servo. He banged and kicked waiting for a flatbed to arrive then luckily he got the damn lock to kick loose. (he had a replacement later model lock in there...) What a horrible ordeal.

Some things I am disappointed about:

Horrible...
1. Oil cooler
2. Steering lock.

dissapointing...
3. road noise (I know its a sport car... but wow. loud)
4. Crappy clutch. (poor Feel, Vague or something... you all know what I mean)

All have pretty easy fixes. But Nissan has engineers who should have sorted this crap pre-delivery. Oh well. I've addressed all this stuff in my car (and more) and now I LOVE IT. Perhaps fixing the weaknesses make me even love it more.

The Z is definitely a diamond in the rough as it sits at the dealership.
