the Z car represents a small slice of the nissan's profit. moreover, we as a group enthusiasts, who know about the CSC "weakness" are an even smaller portion of that pie. (i.e. I don't think the problem is effecting nissan's sales).
as a percent of cars sold (350z & 370z). how many have had CSC failures? in manufacturing you will always tolerate a certain defect rate. i would assume the CSC failure didn't surpass their threshold. nissan is a company interested in making money. if 98% of the time the CSC doesn't fail under warranty, why would would they care?

overall i feel fortunate that nissan has even bothered to continue with the Z all these years, while other japanese brands dropped their sports cars or made sad attempts/compromises to make sporty cars. our cup is more than half full as Z enthusiasts.
don't like the sound? change the exhaust
not enough power? turbo/supercharge it
don't like the gauges? rip them out and throw something that works for you
your CSC busted? get your *** under there and change it out for something stronger or throw a Z1 elimination kit on there.
***built will always be better than bought.***
what sports car under $100K has everything you want from factory? go to any car forum and you will find guys complaining about something that the factory didn't get right. hell, i'd argue that there are things i'd want to change about ANY car, regardless of price. then again, i am just that type of guy.
