Default 2015 nismo, first Z.

I'll just start by saying I am very glad to have found a forum with some intelligent and respectful enthusiasts. All to often forums get over run by ill-informed members who are only looking for attention. My performance car experience started with a 2002 spec v sentra in high school and since moving on to a 2006 ms6. I can't say enough about the amount of tech knowledge over at mazdaspeedforums.org, because of that I am currently finishing up a pte5862 build on my speed.
I am very excited to be back in a nissan and look forward to learning the Z world. I bought my 2015 nismo a few months ago with just over 7k on the odometer. I really love the feel of being in a true sports car compared to a four door sport sedan. I haven't had much of a chance to really push the cars limits, thanks to winter and being parked till the roads clean up, but have noticed a few things. First thing was the blind spots of the car, I always get nervous switching lanes. Hopefully there are some convex mirrors out. The drivetrain feels somewhat sloppy to me and likes to thrash around. Not sure if it's just me because my other car has aftermarket mounts or a common issue. Last is the clutch, I like the feel just not the engagement point. Hoping there is a way to adjust the pedal like my other car. I am 6 foot 4 and having to control the engagement with my knee at the wheel can be difficult.
All in all I really enjoy the car and can't wait to start modding. Sorry for the long hello.

Wow 6'4" in a 370z. I am shade over 6' and I can't imagine fitting into it being much taller. Kudos to you.

I regards to the mirrors/blind spots, thats a typical comment from a new owner. I used to feel the same way. It can be adjusted out, and theres no problem with the mirrors. No one really swaps them out, unless you're putting together show car or something.

Here is the quote we all usually go by to adjust our mirrors to eliminate the blind spot:

It does take getting used to, but you will find, if you let a car pass you on either side, it will go from the rear view mirror, to the side to where you can see it directly and never be out of your sight."
I agree with you, in regards to the driveline. I've had mounts/inserts etc on previous vehicles with great results, including a track prepped Honda Civic, a WRX, and even a Jeep. The good news is the 370z does have tremendous aftermarket support, including motor mounts, and the popular tranny mount. Z1 is a great co to support: https://www.z1motorsports.com/

You'll find many of us do a few subtle tweaks, and enjoy the car primarily as-is. The minority do major mods such as TT kits etc. The car is a great package from the factory.

Congratulation and Welcome to the 370Z forum. All I can said is that the Z is a great sport car, yours is new so give it some time and enjoy it.

Thanks Nick M for the mirror adjustment rule, never would have thought to search for something like that.
