General Observation

ParkStr8 · 01-25-2017, 10:57 AM

So I'm back on the forum after a break - this time with a 15 370z Sport Tech.

I have been busy scouring posts again just like I did when I had my ZR a few years back.

I have noticed, after reviewing hundreds of posts and photos...these cars, despite some very minor shortcomings, are really, really built well.

They seem to hold up amazingly well - both inside and out. It might be because we are all enthusiasts...but even then, its quite amazing.

just thought I would share...a thought.

Except for the clutch, I totally agree. Its the main reason I chose the Z over its pricier competitor.

ive had two 370z.

1. Gunmetal 2010 30,000kms when purchased. One cat let go and dreaded steering lock.
2. White 2016 10k. No problems

MagmaRed370z · 01-25-2017, 02:41 PM

Same here. 2 370z

1) 14 Base 6 speed. Sold it due to CSC issue. 12K Miles
2) 14 Sport 7AT - No problems so far 17K Miles.

NM370Z · 01-25-2017, 03:19 PM

Agree - 2 370Z

1- 2009 Base MT - 120k + glorious miles when traded in

2009 Sport with 30K miles, no issues
2010 Base supercharged, steering wheel lock issue only.

Generally very well build cars

2009 GT - car had covered 50k, no issues other than the predictable CSC
2017 Nismo - covered 220 miles....no issues as I would have hoped!

2011 Base Sport
76,000 miles
My only vehicle (yes during winter too)

I've added gas, changed fluids, and two wheel bearings from track duty.

Can't believe more stuff hasn't gone wrong. Especially as I'm not, erm... "gentile" with the controls.
