Prominent 370Z Issues?
 

Hey guys, just wondering what are the issues plaguing these cars if any? I've noticed two stickies regarding steering lock and oil temperatures. Are there anything else I should be concerned with in general? Perhaps with models with certain features, like the auto transmission? Thanks for any help, also if there's already a thread with this mods delete and link me :)

Steering lock, some oil consumption issues on the early models, lack of oil cooler. Those are the big three

Edit: CSC failures on the 6MT cars

Csc failure in the stick shifts. There's a sticky on here about that also if you want to read up on that.

Nothing major, csc, oil temp (if your tracking never gone into limp mode around town), fuel starvation on hard G's below half tank (there is an upgrade for this.), Shitty rear visibility, you develop chronic speeding habits, loud cabin noise, no trunk space, no practicality, blinkers arent loud enough causing you to drive with them on all the time, most z drivers wont wave back at you if you wave at them, too much fun, attracts boy racers, entices people to rev at you at stop lights, a little tough to drive in the rain, body roll needs to be corrected with front sway, and last but not least but I think this is important its just "a little v6".

Edit: Tl;dr auto tranny is bullet proof it will need a tranny cooler if you want to SC or FI.

Guys, I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks again.

If you have a little weiner a Z won't cut it; you're going to need a bitchin' Camaro and a mullet.

I'd say the CSC has the potential to be major. Depends on where it happens to you. And it will happen. Dun dun dun...

Steering lock for earlier models.
CSC on manuals
Differential bushing.
Fuel starve.

Csc is really about the only one you should pay attention too, car is overly built in every aspect but its weak oem csc; an oil cooler if you track but thats going to go on any car you buy for the track

I hate to be the newb asking something probably easily recognizable but, what is "csc?"

I did a search by thread title by all sub sections and no results.

***Never mind*** just found it at the top of General. I was planning for an auto anyway.

If by "bulletproof" you mean "will grenade over 400 ft/lbs", then yes.

That's pretty much it. ^

Ugly greasy doods giving me thumbsup at gas stations.. :ugh:

You prefer cute greasy dudes? :roflpuke2:

The site's search really sucks, IMNSHO. I prefer to go to one of the major web search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to my search string. Eg:
CSC site:the370z.com
