New 2014 370Z
 

Just bought a new 370Z Base, gun metallic color. I love this car but noticed shifting from first to second is a bit rough, is this common in new Z's? My first planned mods are an oil cooler, oil filter mag and magnetic oil pan screw. Any other suggestions to keep my Z in mint condition for racing track once in a while?

Congrats!

congrats :pics:

Welcome, and you have mods down. Just come out to a meet!

Thanks! I am eager and cannot wait for the first meet. Any idea where they would post that info? Im from SoCal...

Congrats and don't forget, we luv pictures!

Awesome! Welcome to the family!

Welcome. :hello:
Try upping the RPMs a bit when you shift from 1-2 and see if that helps. Check out the track section to see if Cali guys are needing an aftermarket oil cooler or if the factory one will be OK.

Welcome. I found the gear shift to get much smoother after a few thousand miles but 1-2 shifts, particularly when hammer down, require concentration.

don't think you need an oil filter mag.

I forgot where but someone mentioned when you shift (n-1, 1-2 and sometimes 2-3) if you're not revving hard (over 5krpm) shift according to revs. Under 3k I clutch in, shift, pause, and then slow release to catch... found that smoothed out the shifting considerably. Just play around!

good luck and welcome!
