Nissan, Please fix these on the 400Z that were fails on the 350-370

"since 2012" would imply it was still around in 2012. Not sure what your link is for

It was during the 2012 model year that Nissan discontinued the ESCL on the Z. Some 2012 models have it and some do not. If you're referring to the recall that was issued, it was only applicable to ESCL Revisions A, B, and C. During the 2011 model year Nissan switched over to Rev D. Rev E followed in 2012 before it was discontinued altogether. Rev D and E are not included in the recall. My 2011 has an ESCL Rev D with the fuse removed for 10 years now.

They flat out pulled this out back in 2013

Yeah, I don't think they fixed this.....willing to bet this will be a straight up carry over part.

I was hoping for more storage on the inside ala 350Z, looks like it's a carry over from the 370Z. There's going to be a hell of a lot of "Carry Over" I fear.

VR30 doesn't have the cooling issues the shoehorned VQ37 did

Carry over

Seats are going to stay comfortable for GenPop, Nismo will have the seats we're looking for

A metal CSC, I hope like hell they are listening but realistically it'll be another carry over part...hell we need to be thankful we got a stick to go with that plastic CSC

Dunno about cooling, Akebonos are the "base" calipers now and Brembos are the upgrade
- Dunno if GenPop is ready for how rotor hungry Akebonos are

First CSC lasted for 11 years. 2nd - about 9 months.

I stranded myself off of circular interstate onramps 3 times before I learned to jerk it hard enough to slosh gas when the engine sputters. So ******* stupid to worry about running out of gas when you have GALLONS of fuel.

How do I know I have gallons of fuel? My gas gauge hasn't read right for about 7 years now so I fill up every 200 miles. My 91 Ford Bronco's gas gauge has never been wrong.

This is my 4th Z and I love her but **** there have been days.

Cjm road race fuel pump is the fuel starve answer, we ran it in our last two nismos. Shouldn’t have to but at least there’s a good aftermarket solution.

My wish list:

- fix CSC
- fix fuel starvation on long, right-hand sweepers
- oil pressure gauge

Everything else is fine IMO. Even the oil cooler is a reasonable expense for track prep. Having to refill the tank after every session, or getting stranded due to a PLASTIC CSC WITH KNOWN MITIGATION SOLUTIONS is bonkers.

When i had my 2011 it didn't have a steering lock and it was a mid year production that rolled off the line in June of 2011

Install a ZSpeed Performance CMAK and you don't have to worry about the weak CSC going kaput at the worst possible moment. Sheesh!

My 2011 didn't have it either.

Really warming up to the new Z. Still seriously considering a C8, but I really miss the Z community. Best car group - Z, MINI, Mercedes, and Audi - that I've ever been associated with. Still stay in touch with a few folks. Haven't seen Mr. JARblue since COTA a couple of years ago. Hope you are doing well James!

I'm waiting for the first post of "400Z" fuel starve on long LEFT hand turns. Seriously though you guys actually wanting this car is sad IMHO. It's a FUGLY disastrous vomit retro look on a 370Z chassis with a smaller motor with a couple snails. I seriously doubt it will out perform the 370Z with equal mods. In the end larger displacement wins with everything else being equal. It is just ugly, my wife and I cringe whenever we see pictures of it. We all know how cheap nissan is and we all know in our heart of hearts a lot of these issues are going to carry over to this iteration. Had they fixed it, it would have been a major highlight in their reveal.

1. Looks are subjective, but I'd say majority of people actually like what they have done with the new Z and how they were able to incorporate the retro design.
2. Yes, we all know it's a parts bin car. There isn't anything necessarily wrong with that, but we'd hope they fix the major things that have already been mentioned.
3. Dude, have you looked or cross shopped anything else on the current or future market?? There's really nothing else that compares.
4. Just be thankful we actually have a decent option when it comes to a JDM, reliable, manual, fast/fun car that IMO looks great.

Sounds like someone needs a midol.

I usually respect everyone’s opinion on this forum, unless it happens to be derogatory or contains false statements. Then it’s credibility lost.

Agreed, my current M2 is a parts bin car, with some upgraded internals and body mods to fit wider tires. But it handles/drives better and faster than the rest of the BMW 2 series.

IMO, anything manufactured, can be made better or better looking. Is the new Z absolutely perfect in the looks department? Of course not, there are area which could use improvement. But, “FUGLY disastrous vomit retro look”, is something I would definitely not call it.
