How has your 370Z held up?

So no re shimming or other crap that tends to make diffs whine forever more?

Never realized you had that many issues with the Z red.

Not on the stock LSD, might be different with aftermarket parts

I think it will perform ok for my use, so when it dies, its just a drop in and no chance of ruining the driveline by messing up any of the gears wear patterns.

I am sure replacing a pumpkin is mostly labor as you can find a used diff for <$500. Given how many people crash the Zs, they will be plentyful.

Bought mine used with 5k. White leather on the drivers is showing wear. Passenger is ok. Had an annoying click from the rear that turned out to be one of the clips for the rear spoiler rubbing. Fixed that. The passenger doors rubber seal at the front has split at the top. The radio display at times won't come on if it's really hot. The hatch still won't open the first time I pop it.

^^ sometimes there is a lag for the hatch... but the radio display issue is not normal

There is a TSB on the latch

Jordo! · 10-31-2011, 06:06 AM

My U joint is leaking a bit of oil from the seal... will be taking it in eventually to have it looked at.

Otherwise, no rattles, no major issues.

Minor issues: Wonky fuel sender, easily chipped windshield, the usual rock chips or two on front bumper (otherwise, my paint looks good -- knock on wood), automatic window feature doesn't always seem to go back up to make water tight seal, occasionally unlock/lock button on outside of door won't respond, trunk latch may be starting to stick a bit.

^^^ heh heh, yes.

Also, randomly, my seatbelt latch indicator light wasn't working right the other day. Kept flashing on even tho' seatbelt was latched. Seems fine now.
