If the car is stock, get a new clutch and a lighter flywheel with a metal CSC, get a Quaife diff, FI exhaust and a RJM clutch pedal ![]()

Don't worry op you aren't the only one who isnt a nissan fan.I will never get into a Nissan again. I will always tell people to get a Honda or toyota instead, even Mazda now.

....the point is, those things are mostly bs to begin with. Every car will have a mechanical issue sooner or later. The problems with the Z are relatively scarce and/or widely known where a fix is available. Just because some journalist marks it as the most reliable car on the planet, doesn't make it indestructible. Also, I think the Camaro has been winning the resale value moniker for this segment for a few years now. A car can achieve a high resale value if a lot of people think it has a high resale value.

That ain't no lie!
My civic was the rattliest car I've ever owned, new or old. My Tacoma's headliner and door skins were coming apart in its first six months. I don't care how long an engine may last if the car's a POS otherwise. |

lol, have to agree with the civic part...my 96 which i currently own sounds like a freaking tin can being dragged down the street when you start it up from a cold start, mostly due to the exhaust rattling the back end of the car until the car warms up a little. Other than that though it does great on gas and the engine is pretty much in pristine condition for a 96 and returns over 40mpg regularly on the highway and a hair over 30 in the city. as for build quality i can't agree at all with what jungle has to say about anything. As for OP, i hope you can get things worked out man, one rotten apple doesnt always spoil the whole barrel is all i have to say.

We all know I have REAL car problems, but I tried fixing or alleviating them, Your problems have arisen because you're being too damn lazy in a car YOU leased (like your clutch sucks and you didn't even KNOW about the helper spring ![]() You get 12-14MPG and somehow you don't have fun, you just blame bad gas mileage ![]() And as much as I hate my Nissans, I still like the community, and I still like HELPING, your posts are bullshít now... Well... Since always

I've had 49 cars since the 80's. About 10 of them Nissan/Infiniti. Most reliable and trouble free of all my brands. And I've had multiple vehicles within a brand - had 11 Jeeps. 5 BMW's. 3 Volvos. 4 Infinitis. Some great, some not so great.
Brands that include: Audi BMW Volvo Nissan Infiniti Oldsmobile Pontiac Jeep Ford Range Rover Jaguar VW Among them. Hate the ISSUE or the particular car - not every car or the brand. It's a shame you are having issues- and we all feel badly for you for that. But for every 1 member on here, there are 50 who have no clue what a forum is. |
