Radiator Flush now no heater is spotty

+1 Sounds like your thermostat is not opening. I would ask this Nissan dealership service department what brand parts they are using on your car? I would only use Nissan OEM parts on your 370Z.

If the thermostat will not open. The car overheats. He doesn't have that problem. Most likely there is air in the system that needs burped out. The thermostat can not be installed backwards. It's apart of the housing.

Thanks gents for the responses. The vehicle is not overheating thank god. However, I do believe after looking through many post that there might be air in the system.
I didn't know there was such a thing from just replacing coolant!
I spoke with the service manager today. I got a little push back from him. The turd.
It is my wife's vehicle. I don't want to stereotype but she didn't really notice the issue because she has not had to use the heater. Just recently the temps dropped and she has turned on her heater. It has been 6 weeks since the service. I drove the car this weekend and she is correct the air temps is significantly cooler when the vehicle is at idle. I was like WTF?
Anyway, I might take it somewhere else. The service manager was a complete douche. And I'd rather not have his people jack up something else on the car. It has been amazing and incredibly reliable for my wife who has always dreamed of owning a Z. I will keep you posted. Thanks again.
