Which reminds me, anyone else annoyed by how loud first gear is? Sounds like im going in reverse too fast or something... oh and another thing, there is a certain rpm range where if i shift into 5th gear even if the clutch is to the floor it grinds... Im driving along going shift into 5th and

On long drives. Like 3 hours plus the bottom seat side bolsters get pain full. And I'm not a large guy by any means. 6'1 and 195lbs so I'm fairly proportionate. I get out and walk around but still. That, road noise compared to the 370z and the paint chipping in the front. That's it. Everything else is great.

I have no complaints. I knew about the road noise before i bought it (that's why my tires are filled with KY gel, to absorb the noise). It is a sports car, so forget about comfort (i had an 08 nismo model). Blind spots? what blind spots? I just switch lanes and whoever is next to me will get out unconditionally so I can overtake their lane. Trunk space? I always pack lightly. The clutch noise, I just removed the clutch. If the seat start to feel to hard on my butt, that is an indication that I need to shed some weight. For the paint (rock) chips, I decided not to drive it at all, I can't afford duct tape to cover rock chips anymore. I can go on all day long.
In all, I researched the vehicle before I pulled the trigger, so I knew what to expect (as mentioned before, not my 1st Z). For those of you thinking about a new car, do the homework first and then If you think you can deal with it the way it comes then jump on it. In reality I have one or maybe two complaints. Really, the nismo don't come with the premium sound package and my SES light comes on every 300 miles. Last edited by MR.nismo; 11-18-2011 at 12:20 AM. |

I just tracked my car Monday at Thunderhill, Willows, CA and I have and oil cooler (exactly like Modshack's build) It was on a Cold day ~50 degrees and not even after 15 mins in the first session the car not only crap out by putting it in a limp mode, it completely shut down and won't start up before oil temp even reached past 220 degrees. I had to tow the car all the way back home as I tried everything to start it up. Plugged a diagnostic tool in, no error code. The yellow service required light went on when it happened but afterwards when i try restarting the car it just kept spitting when I cranked the car. I spent the whole day dry cranking the car to air out the fuel from the flooded engine, no luck, the car didn't recover till 2 days later. So, I really don't know what my oil cooler did for me. Any advise? I've heard some people don't even get put into limp mode at 240 degrees. Astor me, I didn't even get a limp mode, all I got was an improper shut down. The left LCD started flickering and it was almost like Fast and Furious 2 when the skyline got shot with a Emp electric gun. =\

For me the things that are a little irritating are:
Blind spots No steering wheel adjuster/ seat height....no...I refuse to use a cushion! No postcode settings on Sat Nav Apart from those minor details I LOVE my Zed

My only complaint is that I love driving the Z so much I already have 23k miles on it in the first year I owned it.

My major complaint is that we got ripped off by not having a rear wiper like the Z33 had. Yes international 370Z have rear wipers but USDM don't
