What boggles my mind is how Nissan made the 7AT a sealed unit, says it does not require service for the life of the vehicle (no ATF fluid flush and fill...ever) but there are numerous accounts of people having problems with their 7AT's and needing to have them serviced or replaced just from everyday street driving.

Brings up a few more questions:
1. Which is more common a CSC problem or a 7AT problem?
2. If you change the transmission fluid (have a Nissan dealer do it) will they say that voided the warranty?
3. If you add a transmission cooler, will they say that voids the warranty?
4. Is the CSC problem still common on a '15+ Nismo or have they done something to address it?
I'm choosing a Nismo Z over a C6 Z06 for my perceived reliability, am I picking the wrong car? I know once the exhaust valve heads are addressed on the Z06, they're pretty reliable.
