Pissed. Going to just break it in a minute.

What are you referring to when you say console lid?
The cubby that is above the radio or the center console that is next to the e-brake?

By the E-brake. That thing that on American cars opens to the SIDE to prevent crap like this. I got my license out, now, but seriously, I dislike the mindset behind these cars (Japanese). It is not in-line with my American way of thinking. Last one I buy. Nice car, but not my style of design. I enjoy the good of the experience, though.

You should trade it in for a corvette or something.

Mikes350z

sorry to see you are so angry at the Z for its design and "flaws" I hope you see all cars have design flaws along with some issues like paint or windshields, it shouldnt take away from the joy of the car or make you so angry.

If it really does there is no problem or shame in trading it in for something that suits you better, there have been times when even I have contemplated trading in my baby for a more suitable, usable, daily driver.

Good luck!

I'm just irritated because the Japanese are so backward from what I am used to. Everything on these cars is "wierd" and "doesn't make sense" to me and I view it as over-complicated and it seems to have issues quite often. I like the quality of interior materials and the workmanship, but the designs are horrible. Give me Japanese workmanship with an American body and design, lol.

Next on the list is German.

I've just built up quite the list of "WTF?!" moments with this car so far. I can't say I would recommend one to anyone, but I far from hate it. It's kindof like a pretty girlfriend that sucks in bed and constantly cries but gets you mad props in public and makes you puff up a bit because your girl is HOT!

I won't date her again, but I'm not going to dump her since I'm with her.

Haha.

My corvette actually had less squeaks and rattles, which I am kinda ticked about. Initial build quality of my 370Z was very good. Now? I would rate it as medium. It develops buzzes and squeaks and rattles pretty quickly it seems.

shaun66

The more I drive mine the more it rattles Theres one in the hatch, the center console by the radio, and the headliner now lol

ImportConvert

Wierd. This is the only car I have owned that does this. All of my others either rattle, or don't. They don't develop new one's. Anyway, I digress. The Japanese engineer things really weird compared to what I am used to and I don't like it and have yet to see anything but complications resulting from it. I won't be having another, but I don't hate mine. It's a tolerable relationship with moments both good and bad.

Red__Zed

I can't help but laugh, given the number of times I told you about this, and you doubted the car made of "solid billet" would rattle.

b1adesofcha0s

I was gonna say the same thing

I can't even imagine what your reaction would be if you went through a steering lock failure.

Totally different from seeing something inches away that you cannot get at and tweezering after it with all manner of things only to have it resolutely stay put in a very expensive and fragile alcove. Mocking you, yet unattainable.

You no get dis! You no get dis! NANANAANA!!!!
....But Bilo get dat!

Liquid_G

cool story bro. In the time it took you to rant about something as dumb as this, you could have searched the forum on how to take apart the center console.. its literally like 6 screws and can be done in 2 minutes..

If you got this mad from the cubby lid, I cannot imagine what would happen if a real crisis hit you

Hey, I didn't destroy anything after-all. It's little crap that frustrates me. Big stuff, I can deal with. Little stuff like my ear-buds getting tangled? I flip. I know this, so I came and bitched about it until I was calm enough to go back and solve the problem. Being a **** to your own stuff online > Breaking expensive crap.
