We have a thread for the 350Z so it's about time we had one for the 370Z too.

I will coordinate this first page with all the info, feel free to reply to this thread to add relevant comments, correction and links.

Spec for 2009 car here

Spec for 2010 car here

I would like to say nothing major has shown up at this point and all the cars are still under warranty

2009 cars only
*

2010 cars only
*

2009 to date
* Rear hatch springs - may not pop the hatch up enough to clear the latch in cold weather. There are alternative springs available. See this thread

* Stone chips - similar to the 350Z, the front of the car is prone to stone chips

* Front tyres scrub at low speeds on full lock - this appears to be the standard Bridgestones not liking the cold weather. See this thread

* Oil temps - if you plan to track your 370Z seriously then you should plan on fitting an oil cooler. When driving very enthusiastically the oil temps can rise to you a point where limp mode kicks in (limp mode limits the revs until the oil has cooled)

2010 Roadsters

The clutch / fly wheel issues

Rattles from inside the hood storage compartment (been back twice now) I am now sorting myself

As the windows drop they rub on a small area of the hood which has now completely frayed about to go back for this I reckon it will be a new hood.

2010's also have the hatch spring problem, scrubbing tyres and soft paint.

I also have an intermittent click/squeak from my seat which is due to the front height adjuster. Something to do with the star washers they put on the end of the bars to secure them on according to the 370z forum supposedly for 2009 cars with non electric seats and there was a TSB. A quick adjust of the height and it stops clicking/squeaking.

I agree:

2010 car.

Hatch springs, you have to be quick to get the hatch open, pain in the neck when your carrying bags!

You all know me thoughts on Bridgestone! Not really a problem with the car as such.

And I have a collapsed driver bolster, but at the moment this seems limited to my car!

Noted

I'm keen to keep this concise so may open another section for 'possible problems' too (my locking wheel nut being an example that might crop up on others)

I've found you have more time to catch the hatch if you press the open hatch button with the car locked because there is more of a delay as the car unlocks first

Condensation!

My 2010 370Z suffers from, what I consider to be bad condensation for a modern car!

Any one else got this problem?

Paul.

There is also the random activation of the alarm (usually in the dead of night ...) that some of us have had. Now sorted (by Beadles, Eltham) with a reset of the electrics

Good advice. Can you recommend a product?

[MaDMaXX]

Yup, 303 Protectant

[Paul_S]

Thanks mate

[MaDMaXX]

If you've not tried 303, you'll love it, very versatile, try it on the tyres too
