But to answer your question, yes that feeling will go away eventually. You will ALWAYS seeking for more power.

I owned a 2003 350Z for 10yrs. I just purchased a 2013 370Z Touring with Sport package / Nav package / Bose Sound / 7 SP AT / 19" Rays. When they said they changed everything on the Z, they did and it's all amazingly better. There is no better sports car for the money... period.

I agree and can i say nice f...ing car you got there, You went all out! When I was looking for a car I was actually looking for a 350z, I didn't think I could afford a 370z. I saw 2 Z'a right outside a dealership, one was a 350 and the other a 370. I remember getting into the 370 and I was like "wow! This is what I want". Then I got into the 350 and I was like "meh" the feeling from being just inside the cars was so much different from the 350 to 370. (IMO) Obviously I went with the 370z, it only took 2 rejections from loaning companies, finally the third approved me for the loan haha.

Man.......... Everytime I go fast, I just get exited! and Everytime I just think "I love my CAR!"

For those who have been driving MT for a while, I know you know what I'm talking about.

It'll disappear quickly when you have steering lock failure and your realize your warranty is expired and you're looking at a $1,000 plus bill! Love Nissan corporate!

Pull the fuse, a 25mins simple work that can save you $1,000 plus 2 - 3 weeks of waiting time.

Fuse pulled well in time---my mechanic did it in 8 minutes flat at no charge (Dealership estimated $125.00). Just feel badly for so many other guys who didn't know better. Still down on Nissan for being totally unresponsive and irresponsible about this.

I already got the steering lock failure, warranty was expired and it cost me $1100 to fix it. Ill be safe for another year, ill be sure to pull the fuse before the year ends and maybe maybe before that Nissan recalls the part.

Well the reason I'm waiting is because if they do recall the part and I have to go to the dealer what I'm I going to say when they see the fuse missing or the wired cut?? The warranty for the replaced part is for a year, so I want to leave it there in case the lock fails again, then after the year I can pull it.

Also the replace steering lock is the D version, I believe that's the one that should have no problems.

Also I'm scare

dude... once you pulled the fuse, the fuse won't lock thus the problem is fixed for good...

And I sure the lock won't go defective within 12 month but the 13th...

And you have to wait for another 2-3 weeks for the parts and pay another $1000 and rant in here...

Wait for a recall...?? It's been a problem since 2009 and there's no recall plus Nissan stop using the Lock from mid-2011 therefore the chance of having a recall is -100%

not being rude but if your Steering Lock goes fail again don't post anything in here to complain cos you've been told a solution but you chose to ignore it...
