That wasn't the only reason, the main reason I didn't get a Z was because my local Nissan dealers wouldn't budge on the Nismo I wanted so I went to ford and got 6K off a new 5.0 instead.

I was considering taking my car in for this but I'm not sure it's worth it. Better off removing fuse or cutting wire. Do they have to re flash your ecu? If they do wouldn't you lose your custome tune you need to keep your car running properly while boosted? I'm not gonna risk taking that chance, I was just curious if anyone knows the answer. I'm scared to take my car to the dealer for anything period because I don't want my tune trashed.

That's a helluva good deal, I was trying to buy a used Nismo locally for 35K and they wouldn't do it. I was pissed because I was dead set on buying a Nismo 370, I had my wheels/exhaust/parts picked out and everything.

To my knowledge, I have not seen on this website a failure with this version. Only RevA and RevB. |

As far as I can tell, all they are doing is replacing the lock with the latest revision and not reprogramming anything. If they do reflash anything, it will be the BCM. No reason to do anything to the ECM. But I haven't seen anything official on how they are doing the fix. Still no reason I can think of to do anything to the ECM as the ESCL is not connected to it.

Going by what others have said about getting the recall work done, all they're doing is replacing the ESCL (SLU) with the latest revision (D). I don't believe there is any troubleshooting involved (other than determining that you don't already have the latest revision). If you have an ESCL on a pre-2011 370Z, you get a new one. You should be able to contact the dealer with the number in the OP and they can look it up. If they give you any static, go to another dealer. YMMV

EDIT: Also, RevD isn't even the latest one. Isn't there a RevE out even?

^ who cares what revision it is, the design is inherently prone to failure. the fuse on my car is staying right where it has been for months now...at the bottom of my center console.
