I've had my Z for about 9 months now and love it. It's a great car and fun to drive. From all the posts that I've read over the past 9 months, some of the problems that have popped up more than once are:
1. Grinding of the gear when going into 5th.
2. Oil consumption of the engine.
3. ECU whine and stuck hatch on '09 models.
4. High oil temps on spirited runs and tracks.
5. Soft paint attracting chips.
6. The clutch slave cylinder breaking.
7. Cars crashing from VDC being off.
I think those were the biggest issues.
The problems that I have experienced on my own car are the rock chips (which you can get a clear bra to protect it for about $800), my hatch rattling, and Nissan taking 8 1/2 months to refund me $4200 for the extended warranty and maintenance program cancellation.
I hope you end up buying the Z!
Even you too, ImportConvert!!! Hurry up and make the jump, so that I don't have to hear anymore WS6 stories.
