Hi, Someone please update me with the 370z !!!

kkmoslehpour

Hello folks i am considering purchasing a 370z but i need to now what are some of the common problems with this car ( 09 model problems? 10 model?). Also what are the first mods that people usually do to this car! It would be very helpful if someone could answer these questions...

NewlyIMPORTed

problems: thin paint, ecu noise, hatch sticking sometimes thats the majors. but none a big deal.
first mod: HFC, or CAI

as far as I know the hatch and ecu issue are 09 issues.

kkmoslehpour

Can you please tell me more about the ecu noise? what exactly is causing the noise and how would you fix it. And can you tell me more about the thin paint issue and the hatch issues, have they fixed these problems on the 2010 models?

NewlyIMPORTed

i have an 09 and the ecu noise is just a high pitch noise coming from the ecu inside the car i dont have the problem and not all Z's do but some have had the issue the paint isnt much of a problem for me either because i have silver so it doesnt show as much but compared to a genesis 3.8? no comparison i looked at the two and the Z is just in a whole dif category in performance imo

Poeple must not be complaining about the ECU Noise, because there nothing in the sevice tech online support.

Nissan uses soft paint, get a clear bra

Hatch- hold the button in for a full second.

Plenty of people have the problem here. must be nissan not caring.

and holding the button in for a full second or two or more doesn't fix the hatch

hell the belgian dealerships don't even have the service report on the hatch.

What's your biggest beef with your 370z/any other car?

LinPark

Problems: can't stop driving the thing, everyone wants to race you, smudged glass on the driver and passenger windows where people cup their hand to peer inside
First mod: CAI, HFC, and CBE seem the best for performance but I'm going with locking lugs, H&R 15mm/20mm spacers, and tint for starters

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Ha ha ha, I can run to the store for a drink, and have to make an entire trip through town. Esp. since I'm still in my break in period, and anxious to get through it.

like someone else stated the paint on these car is so easy to put swirl/spiderweb scratches on them

kkmoslehpour

thank you guys for all this info! Because i am deciding whether to get the genesis coupe 3.8, or this car. That is why i wanted more info on the car!

Both are great cars, it really comes to preference for you, you should go into both dealerships and see for yourself which car you fall in love with.

Motortrend has a video on Genesis v Mustang v 370z I think, if you want to compare the technical stuff, but other than that, you can probably find issues with the 370z's in a few of the complaints threads or that 2011 wishlist thread

I bought a 2010 370Z Nismo ~ 40 days ago. I only have one problem: Obeying the posted speed limits.

Otherwise, this is by far one of the greatest vehicles I've ever driven... and I was 2nd in command at a Chevy Dealership for 6 years (owned by my dad). I've driven every Chevy, Olds & Cadillac produced from 1999 to 2005. I've driven BMWs, Audis, Ferraris and other cars i can't even remember. I even drove a Vette around the Indy 500 race track (twice) in 2002, after we won the contest in our area. I still prefer the 370Z.

For the price, the 2010 370Z Nismo simply kicks arse.

Z>Genesis

way classier and better performance.
