(2012 and up still run hot with stock oil coolers from what I hear.)
2) The gas tank has a real stupid issue where will get oil starvation (even when gas is a bit more than 3/4ths full) when you turn a bit hard to the right, making honda civics seem like Lamborghini next to my stalling Z. (I'm exaggerating for comedic effect here, don't bring out the butthurt)
2017's still have this issue.
You need to spend between $300-1000 to fix this issue. (Parts only)
Also it's not reading the gas tank very well.
3) sound system BLOWS. This varies depending on the user, but to have something decent people will be spending at least $300-500.
(Not asking a luxury system, but something that doesn't sound completely distorted when you put it on 22 volume level)
The reason why I bring this up is mostly so SOMEONE does something for future models. It's mind blowing that a company as legendary as Nissan doesn't address issues very well.
If you know any other issues worth mentioning, try to keep the numbering in order.

Not to rain on the parade, but people have discussed these issues before, and you can't count on Nissan being that "SOMEONE". Just got my Z this year, too, and it's been a long time coming since eye-ing it upon debut (was just starting college). Knew about the issues as I was scoping what to look out for with used models. CSC, clutch and flywheel upgrades were done to take care of the obvious issue, as well as up response and smooth out shifting.
Ecutek actually covers a few bases considerably:
-brings some low-end
-fixes laggy throttle respone
-cooling is a much less of an issue for regular driving (radiator fan timing is adjusted)
Not sure if a tuner can override or adjust SRM, but if they could stop it from holding revs during upshifts that be a nice step up.
As a daily driver, the only lingering concerns for me atm is the fuel starve, which remedied by driving and fueling habits (although that's lame), and I think my trunk will be due for fixing soon.
