I've owned my 09 Sport/Touring 6MT 370z since 70k miles, October 2017. It's been an absolutely great "veericle" for me! Today, August 2021 I'm at 105k miles.

Dude - you missed the biggest one ! (at least for 09-13 & HR's) The dreaded oil gallery gasket. You can loose your engine pretty easily without replacing this with a proper metal gasket with torqable counter sunk screws. Ask me how I know.

My Mustang never ever broke, My 370z needed many fixes. I love both of them. This is a statement from a person that doesn't know cars, just the line of crap daddy told them.
well said i've had 2 mustangs and 2 370s and 1 350, the nissans were tanks with 1 minor issue between the 3 of them, 1 mustang was bought back for lemon law and the other one had miscellaneous issues I've never encountered in another car

Nice video. But I'm really surprised you didn't talk about the following: - Engine oil overheating - Brakes overheating and fading - Takata airbag replacement - Rear hatch not popping open properly
I had the steering lock issue. They fixed it via a recall the first time but then it happened again 4 years later. I ended up hitting the silver box under the steering wheel with a small rubber mallot while spamming the start button and it started up. Then I ran to the fuse box and pulled the fuse that actuates that solenoid out so it never locks again. Had no issues since but it does allow you to turn the steering wheel while the car is off. Worth it since the dealer wanted $1,250 to fix.
well done video. I've been a 370z owner for ffour years. you covered all the issues I've heard of from other guys and a few other little tips I wasn't even aware of. subbed and hit the bell for notifications.
Had a 2011 sports package, Nissan took care of the slave cylinder free of cost. Never had any other issues ~ at all. I ran synthetic Synthetic/ Mobile-1 oil, NOT the ester oil. Nissan-Z specialist recommended it right when I bought it. Never had any ticking noises, or oil consumption issues. I drove the car as my daily for 130k miles, trouble free except for the slave cylinder, 6 hours back on the road. I miss that car.
This is a great video, love how clear and informative it is. I've done some very basic service on my G35 and can relate to some of these issues :) Please keep doing these vids. Hopefully there's be one here for my next car :D
K.. don't come at me.. it's because of CA bay area traffic.. 1) can I get around problem #1(CSC) by opting for the paddle shifters instead of manual? Thats likely to be the only issue I would have with a 370z. My GTI had that issue. I replaced the master & slave and everything that came with the kits.. and it was a pain in the a$$. Great video. Very informative.
I am SO happy to find this video. I have had my 370 for 6 yrs now, and every time I go in for maintenance, I ask them about the rear clicking, they claim they never hear it. I would like to know what the correct Kawasaki replacement part number is. Liked and Subbed!!!!
I got you bro! Found this on the 370 forums "Kawasaki axle nut (yes, seriously). Part number 92210-0280. They're about $15 each from your local Kawasaki dealer."
I had the steering lock problem on my 2009 Altima i fixed mine by pulling the fuse and ever since every new Nissan or Infiniti vehicle i buy with a push start i pull that fuse
hey man, my 2009 370z is having same issue. was it easy for u to bump ur car into acc mode? and then pull the fuse? after you pulled the fuse, did you turn the car off and then back on and it worked properly? any advice? i know its been 8 months since your last post.
I had a 2010 the steering column lock was under recall and it was replaced by the dealership at no charge but never had no other issues with the car and I drove it extremely hard mine did have a 7 speed Auto
I've got a 2012 which I bought brand new. I just had the steering lock issue around the middle of last year (****ing 2020!😛). They never actually recalled that part here in Australia so I was looking down the barrel of a bit over AU$2900 (just for the part, labour was going to push that to nearly AU$3200). Lucky for me that I didn't just pay it, I took it up with Nissan Australia head office and the guy from the service department at the dealer backed me up. In the end, they agreed to cover most of the cost, I paid just under AU$200. I was pretty happy with the outcome, given that the car was 8 years old and well out of warranty. Although it's disappointing that they only recalled it in some markets and not others, considering its the same part. Other than that, I've not had a single problem with it - that was the only time the car has ever been off the road for anything except the scheduled servicing. I love this car, looking forward to trying out the new one.
Ive noticed mine uses about a half a quart every 3,500 miles. No leaks or smoke. Just uses it. I read in the spec sheet from Nissan that its normal for up to a quart every 3,000 miles.
Well done for not recommending the fuse-pull option 👏🏼 Cost me £800 in the UK as the Nissan free replacement is a one-shot 🙄 Better than disabling the very capable NATS designed to disable your Z if someone tries to have it 😉 Has anyone ever had a 370Z successfully stolen?
Everything is correct except the oil consumption 🤣 Owned the car for 7 years and multiple track days and no low oil whatsoever.. and no high oil temperature were mentioned. Fix: get an oil cooler 🤓🤙🏻
Those are all no majore issues, the steering lock issue isn't there with years 2013+, the axle click is there yes and its annoying, starvation is also a common issue BUT you'd missed the most important and major issue OVERHEATING, this machine is supposed to come with proper oil coolers from factory, the claim that this issue is resolved with years 12+ was it? or 15+? not sure but thats not true as the issue still exist, I'd owned over 15 370Z's both Auto's and Manuals, great car to drive rough, it takes the beating with 0 issues, maintenance isn't expensive yet that overheating issue needs to be addressed. 370Z is dying now so there is a New Z in the line I believe, hope its a different better story!! the current 370Z is lovely to own! high fuel consumption, that's the only negative point I'd highlight and bad visibility while in cabin to see 360 degrees arnd
I will correct you on one problem . There has not been ONE single complaint of a csc failure on a 2020 370z . I've scoured the net and even had chatgpt4o look as well . Not one.
Thank you I unfortunately for the 2nd time had the issue with the CSC yesterday, luckily all the work was through the dealership so I'm hoping they will warranty the work since it was fixed 3500 miles ago..
The biggest problem is P0300. I spent over 2k and the code is still there. I took the z to the most expensive shop; all they can is guessing and replacing the parts and another parts, and another parts ……..🤞🤞🤞🤞🙈🙈🙈
No recall in Australia for the steering lock unfortunately. To save money I worked out it's an earth issue, simply create another wire hooked up to a rocker switch and connect to the main earth point on the driver side closest to door. A simple flick of the switch will fix the circuit and allow you to start your vehicle everytime. My earth wire I fitted connects into the plug where the pink wire is if your not sure.
Great video. My low mileage 2011 sport 7AT had the axle click. It is an actual TSB with Nissan. I griped enough to have that fixed free. I also removed the ESL fuse several years ago. ( Personally best way to avoid the $1500 fee the dealer will charge when it does fail) (since my Z is a custom that stays in the garage, I wasn't worried about the security aspects) You are also correct on the fuel starve. Keep that fuel past 1/2 tank and you're good. Thanks again for the informative video!
That's crazy man my 2009 is still on it's OG one. It's been a very solid car for me, no issues ever. I also don't drive it like a kid either. I've only been close to redline twice and never do hard launches etc.
Years ago i bought a brand new 2012 370z from the dealer. I got ALL these issues described here 😒. Oil consumption was fixed with an oil cooler. Nice car but a total disaster from dealer
yea I have 2016, and it only has 28521 miles and the engine started knocking. I been changing my oil every 4000k and I use full synthetic and I just ran out of the warranty
I own 2007 G35S and 2010 M35X for 11 and 9 years each.(They were used when bought) Both have none of the problems mentioned here. Both are still super reliable now...
This really, really isn't meant to be demeaning, but after watching 2 or 3 of your videos I have noticed that whenever you get behind the wheel the TOP of your shoulder is entirely below the glass in the side window. I don't own a new car but I am thinking of buying one, are the seats getting lower? The windows getting smaller? Or is this down to camera angles?
I have a 6MT in my 2019 sport coupe but haven't noticed any noises from the transmission. I did do an early fluid change at 5K miles and put in some Redline MT-85 gear oil, plus I gently broke the engine and drivetrain in over the first 1500 miles.
how to fix the problems, 1. get an automatic 2. go straight for the aftermarket nuts 🥜 3. keep your fuel half or over half tank 4. slap the fuck outta the underside of the steering wheel now n then 5. throw oil at the car so it doesnt run low without u realizin
Loving the look of this car and thinking of pulling the trigger on a gently used one, and I dont mind the other issues, but dayum... why they gotta have an oil consumption problem?? Friggin tragic man. That's like the worst problem ever...
I replaced the steering wheel lock last week in my 09. I pulled the fuse 1.5 years ago after having issues and it started malfunctioning again even with the fuse removed. Bought the part for $400 and did the labor myself. Read the dealer can charge over $1000 to do it. Got the part from an auto oarts store and it mentioned in the description that it had an improved design to help prevent the same issue from happening in the future. Also came with a device to reprogram keys which was kind of a lengthy process but not hard
I own a 15 370z, I twin turboed it, i track it and ive had the motor out twice just because. ... A couple things: The CSC is definitely a known issue., Either it was out of luck, or just because I flushed the fluid early on with motul rbf660 brake fluid, which will hold higher temps. When i upgraded clutches , it was a good purchase from Zspeed ( HD CSC) that did the trick. Also, the RBF660 along with heat wrapping the clutch line near the exhaust helps. Rear axle click: never happens on my car (45k on the odo as of this post) dunno if they upgraded the nut assy, ill have to check.. Fuel starvation: I did read about this in the forums, so it was always toppped to a half tank t the track before topping it off again. just before twin turboing the car, a walbro450 and a fuel return went in. Ive stretched my brain considering a fuel surge system or simply dropping in an oem pump behind the driver side port to simply help the venturi system dump fuel on to the passenger side ( theres a spot for it - drops right in) I havent had any failsafe cutoffs yet , so it looks my system is feeding the car. From what I understand is for a stock Z, the factory pump just needs an upgrade by default.. not so much a sloshing issue as that the pump is garbage,.... a walbro or aeromotive around the 255lph range should keep the car happy, from factory stock, to upgraded bolt-ons to match. Steering lock: this was an early model problem ( i think just the 09, or maybe the 2010. My 2015 does not have that feature, and no issues) Oil consumption: I truly have not seen an issue with oil consumption on my car. The car does like to blow by when you give it the beans though. CJ motorsports pcv delete (an fitting) to a catch can goes a long way to keep the pcv slutch from caking up the intake valves, lower plenum and essentially lowering the octane... Of note, if there is enough restriction from the catch can, the same pcv sludge will come out the breather, as i have found out. it doesnt hurt to join these hoses prior to the catch can, or buy 2 3-port catch cans to collect all of the goodies. add forced induction, you might want to look at air oil separators or other creative avenues.
Haven't had any of these issues in my g37 as of yet (hopefully stays that way) but always good to watch out for stuff like this. I know there are some other small issues but honestly most of these are pretty minor for this platform.
I have a 2019 6MT base with the sport package that has about 30k miles on it. I flush all of the driveline gear oils and the hydraulic fluids at one half of the Nissan recommended mileage intervals, plus I flushed the engine coolant at 30k miles. I'm having no problems at all with the car.

Just bought a 2019 370z sport with only 20600 miles on it for my birthday
This really, really isn't meant to be demeaning, but after watching 2 or 3 of your videos I have noticed that whenever you get behind the wheel the TOP of your shoulder is entirely below the glass in the side window. I don't own a new car but I am thinking of buying one, are the seats getting lower? The windows getting smaller? Or is this down to camera angles?
Crazy this video is 4 years old and bought this exact 370Z from a dealership if yall want to see it send me a message
You should of also talked about the transmission noises it makes for the 6 speed manual.
I have a 6MT in my 2019 sport coupe but haven't noticed any noises from the transmission. I did do an early fluid change at 5K miles and put in some Redline MT-85 gear oil, plus I gently broke the engine and drivetrain in over the first 1500 miles.
veerichle
how to fix the problems, 1. get an automatic 2. go straight for the aftermarket nuts 🥜 3. keep your fuel half or over half tank 4. slap the fuck outta the underside of the steering wheel now n then 5. throw oil at the car so it doesnt run low without u realizin
The clutch issue is something I have been dealing with my g37 as well
yes your veRicle
my brother buys new 370z nothing but problems from start only 120 kms on clock be carefull with new 400z just the some problems !
Best automotive video I have ever seen. Former 240z owner.
+richard dudley Thanks for the feedback!
Loving the look of this car and thinking of pulling the trigger on a gently used one, and I dont mind the other issues, but dayum... why they gotta have an oil consumption problem?? Friggin tragic man. That's like the worst problem ever...
As far as I know newer models do not have an oil consumption issue.
Great Video this guy is a true gear head he really knows about cars. Keep the videos coming!!!!!!!!!!
Love my Z, hate paying $1600 for my Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's..
Geez..that oil consumption is just something Nissan cant seem to fix huh.
these motors don’t really burn oil at all i’ve seen super high mileage boosted vq37’s that don’t burn anything
What is a "veerhicle"? You said it multiple times. Is English your first language?
I drove one for 80k miles and I had every single one of these issues. This would have saved me a lot of money.
I replaced the steering wheel lock last week in my 09. I pulled the fuse 1.5 years ago after having issues and it started malfunctioning again even with the fuse removed. Bought the part for $400 and did the labor myself. Read the dealer can charge over $1000 to do it. Got the part from an auto oarts store and it mentioned in the description that it had an improved design to help prevent the same issue from happening in the future. Also came with a device to reprogram keys which was kind of a lengthy process but not hard
Link to part?
csc issue happened and I fixed it, now the Steering Lock Actuator. What stupid design,
I own a 15 370z, I twin turboed it, i track it and ive had the motor out twice just because. ...
A couple things:
The CSC is definitely a known issue., Either it was out of luck, or just because I flushed the fluid early on with motul rbf660 brake fluid, which will hold higher temps.
When i upgraded clutches , it was a good purchase from Zspeed ( HD CSC) that did the trick. Also, the RBF660 along with heat wrapping the clutch line near the exhaust helps.
Rear axle click: never happens on my car (45k on the odo as of this post) dunno if they upgraded the nut assy, ill have to check..
Fuel starvation: I did read about this in the forums, so it was always toppped to a half tank t the track before topping it off again.
just before twin turboing the car, a walbro450 and a fuel return went in. Ive stretched my brain considering a fuel surge system or simply dropping in an oem pump behind the driver side port to simply help the venturi system dump fuel on to the passenger side ( theres a spot for it - drops right in) I havent had any failsafe cutoffs yet , so it looks my system is feeding the car. From what I understand is for a stock Z, the factory pump just needs an upgrade by default.. not so much a sloshing issue as that the pump is garbage,.... a walbro or aeromotive around the 255lph range should keep the car happy, from factory stock, to upgraded bolt-ons to match.
Steering lock: this was an early model problem ( i think just the 09, or maybe the 2010. My 2015 does not have that feature, and no issues)
Oil consumption: I truly have not seen an issue with oil consumption on my car. The car does like to blow by when you give it the beans though. CJ motorsports pcv delete (an fitting) to a catch can goes a long way to keep the pcv slutch from caking up the intake valves, lower plenum and essentially lowering the octane... Of note, if there is enough restriction from the catch can, the same pcv sludge will come out the breather, as i have found out. it doesnt hurt to join these hoses prior to the catch can, or buy 2 3-port catch cans to collect all of the goodies. add forced induction, you might want to look at air oil separators or other creative avenues.
+girald S Thanks for the feedback!
And Dashboard made with poor quality materials. Mine is scratched.
Is it a Vehicle or Veericle?
Why in the world would any idiot name it a slave cylinder? There must be a better way to identify that part.
Mi Nissan 370 z cuando llegaba a las 3000 revoluciones perdía fuerza y ahora no quere encender que puede ser
Haven't had any of these issues in my g37 as of yet (hopefully stays that way) but always good to watch out for stuff like this.
I know there are some other small issues but honestly most of these are pretty minor for this platform.
+BigHeadClan Thanks for the feedback!
Has there been a difference in quality since Seat merged with Nissan?
That's normal for most vehicles, sounds good thank you
Common clicking noise ... need a new engine? OK, I don't want a Z anymore!
I know what catch cans are and what they do. Adding one will not stop oil consumption.
Has to fix the failed CSC... the repair is pretty expensive =((
I’m enjoying the top problems of different vehicles
There is a kit to convert the CSC to a regular fork/external slave setup.
thank god i bought the 2018 370 all of these issues were adressed
Fantastic video. Nissan should replace the axle hubs with the Kawasaki part before they sell the car.
+John Satariano Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
if you have a 09-13 watch out for gallery gaskets too!!
Just waiting until my clutch needs replaced then I'll do the CSC at the same time. Hadn't heard of the rear axel click issue.
I have a 2019 6MT base with the sport package that has about 30k miles on it. I flush all of the driveline gear oils and the hydraulic fluids at one half of the Nissan recommended mileage intervals, plus I flushed the engine coolant at 30k miles. I'm having no problems at all with the car.
Dude just saved me literally $100 lol thank you
+ItsJustKaii Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I had zero issues with my 15 370z
Great information. I’m looking at a used 370Z roadster 7AT so I suppose I can disregard the first issue.
+Lmagee010 Thanks for checking us out!
Im trying to decide between the G37S & A 370Z with the auto transmission i hate stick shift cars
@@kxngearner698 if you want to track and auto cross get the 370z but if you want to actually daily drive and actually use the car lol get the g37s. Only like a 200 pound difference with a wayyy better interior in my opinion
@@kxngearner698 definitely DO NOT buy a 370z in Automatic. U might look at a Genesis coupe instead.
C Alcock why??
