Got pulled over for 57 mph in a 35 mph this morning It's an incredibly low speed limit for a frontage road, and there are always people driving 60 mph down it. The cop said he understood and told me he had recently looked at getting a 370Z. He then proceeded to give me a warning :bigsighofrelief:

I have yet to experience said delay. The only delay I experience is very occasionally when I push the start button before I have the clutch pedal pushed down far enough

Some things I am disappointed about: Horrible... 1. Oil cooler 2. Steering lock. dissapointing... 3. road noise (I know its a sport car... but wow. loud) 4. Crappy clutch. (poor Feel, Vague or something... you all know what I mean) All have pretty easy fixes. But Nissan has engineers who should have sorted this crap pre-delivery. Oh well. I've addressed all this stuff in my car (and more) and now I LOVE IT. Perhaps fixing the weaknesses make me even love it more. The Z is definitely a diamond in the rough as it sits at the dealership.

It is weird, but it does start so why do we worry? Because it is worrisome. I had an occasional delay before too, so I did not even know folks found a correlation.

Has anyone had a recurring coolant leak issue? A few months ago mine was fixed by the dealership. Today during inspection my coolant level is low and there's evidence of a leak.

Sorry for you, but I hope this isolated.
