@@michaelkevinmoore8423 check your air-mass sensors if not check your break pedal, under that break pedal there is a small switch that switch when pressed sends a signal to the ECU to de accelarate so no matter how hard u step on gas pedal it won't give you much of power, I guess its the 2nd one ( break switch) I'd say its 98% that silly switch. It drove me crazy to figure this thing out!!
The more 370z videos I watch the more I cant wait to go pick mine up today after work. I get off at 2 and dang this is the longest wait I've ever had lol
@@joshuafallet5690 You can find all part numbers on the370z.com, if you search for the axle clicking issue. I fixed mine a week or two and its amazing.
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.
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. I'm on stock cats and headers but have replaced the mid-pipe and muffler with the AAM S-Line Ti setup with blued tips. Sounds real throaty and damn good actually. I've heard a few with test pipes and I find them to be obnoxious! I've also done the K&N Typhoon intake setup, I know not the best but I really didn't want to remove the front bumper AND have to be worried about driving in the rain. I've also replaced the rotors, brake fluid, pads and brake lines with the kit from Z1, drilled and slotted rotors look great on this car.
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.
we need more videos like this. these info are usually reserved for long time hardcore owners. i know there are forums but you have to admit a lot of the info is misleading. all of these info seems to be from professionals not back yard mechanics with a laptop.
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?
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.
Bullet proof to me own 09 nissan 370z 84k miles only oil change brakes and battery that's it wow what a reliable car I love itt!! Just got a baby and I don't want to sell it!!
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.
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
2009 sports/touring model. Coming up to 160km on the clock. Still runs like a dream. 15 years old and mint condition. Had it 3 years and only problem I’ve had was a blown tyre after some due crashed his car in front of me on the other side of the road. Taking out the safety barrier and I ran over one of the steel retaining posts. Otherwise… I love my car ❤
CSC and oil gallery gasket are the two biggest issues. Both are very expensive repairs and almost guaranteed to have the CSC go before 30k miles. Great job guys!
@@DarthVader-1701 These were more of an issue with models before 2013 but still hear about them from time to time. I made sure my CSC was already replaced before I purchased my second one.
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 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
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..
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."
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!
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...
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.
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 370Z 6MT with the sport package that I bought new and that now has about 28K miles. I haven't had any problems with it at all but I am very diligent about the maintenance and only use the highest quality parts and fluids in it. I flush the fluids at least twice as frequently as Nissan recommends and am using a higher DOT(4 or 5,1) hydraulic fluid in the clutch master cylinder.
30k mile update: I flushed all the driveline oils, hydraulic fluids and engine coolant - no leaks or anything abnormal noticed There is no discernable oil consumption on the dipstick level at the 3k mile oil change intervals. The polished bright metal exhaust tips show hardly any soot buildup inside the pipes.
@@videomaniac108 any updates on this? I'm thinking of a used one but a new one sounds pretty tempting since they seem to last a long time for a sports car

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.
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.
@@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
Nice video. I'm looking at an Automatic 2009 370z with 279k miles. All is great with the vehicle but I am a bit concerned with the high mileage and it being an auto
my 2012 370z is sitting a little over 120k miles atm. no problems with it at all. replaced the clutch just because it had over 110,000 miles on it but it didnt fail.
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.
Great video and explanation of main faults. How Nissan let the Slave Cylinder be plastic and be rubbish for 350Z and 370Z I do not know. Would love to see this for GT86 please.
I never want to buy a car newer then 2006 and here is why. Changing the engine, just wow. I learned 370z is a very good looking car (2016 NISMO and up looks amazing) but is not a good buy used. New engine issues geez.
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.
Can you go over possible causes of why my cruise control is not engaging? Light comes on for cruise I have tried pulling up on the brake and trying to set cruise thinking it may be switch with no luck. What else could it be?
My 370z never gave me a problem till recently.. it’s a 2012 double transmission, and since yesterday it doesn’t want to move, everything works, I can see the gears changing on the car panel but I don’t feel the gear change as I always did and the car doesn’t move an inch in any direction! I’ve tried to find videos on how to fix it but no luck so far! Any info/help is much appreciated! Thanks Btw great video and lots of info 😍
+jadehermosat1979 Thanks for checking us out! You may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it, there could be something in the transmission that is not working properly.

I have noticed this Nissan have a clutch switch that sticks and doesn't allow you to start the car. Quick fix is to go under the dash and flick the switch a couple of times. That should get you home to get it replaced. 👍
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.
I have a 2017 370z and I was told the newer models didnt have the ESCL issue but I seem to have run into this problem. I searched for the part on 1A but nothing came up for my model year.
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
Yep!!! The steering column just happened on my car!! Two weeks later the radiator filled internally… leaked radiator fluid right into my transmission…. Any idea why my 370 Z touring radiator failed? All Happened around 104,000 miles / automatic.
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.

Yep, my csc went out on me already too. Also replaced steering lock. It all failed.
#6 need a oil cooler for engine , I fixed all these issues since 2013 and I'm enjoying driving it very much. It's reliable sport car you can relay on ....
I had a 1988 300zx T-tops. Best car I've ever had.
Thank you so much for making this vid. Great respect from Australia.
I drive my hard in some days but overall just wear and tear from parts getting old. Pretty reliable too me
This guy's jazz hands are phenomenal.
That's normal for most vehicles, sounds good thank you
In the process of buying a 2015 370z nismo it’s my first 370 so trying to see what all to be prepared for
The clutch issue is something I have been dealing with my g37 as well
Great video on the 370Z, I'm looking at one now to purchased and wanted to know what issues to look for. Thanks
Is there a way to turn off the fake engine/exhaust noise? I think it's called the ANC or something like that..
Awesome video, thank you! you guys are my go to whenever im looking into another vehicle to aquire
very informative and straight to the point, no useless chit chat

My CSC went out. It's pretty scary when on the highway. I think I might trade it in before more issues start appearing.
+Rufio In Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
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.
Is the oil consumption because of the galley gasket going bad?
What year did they correct this issue?
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
Did you replace it within the window of your warranty?
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.
There is a kit to convert the CSC to a regular fork/external slave setup.
I always floor it at stop lights to where the car really comes alive like the S2000 where the growl comes in
Pretty light problems compared to other cars lol. Made the right choice 😁😍. Just got my Z in July/August
replacing the engine is a small problem? u r weird.
Idc 🤷♂️ what I have to fix but definitely I’m buying a 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??
Nice video. I'm looking at an Automatic 2009 370z with 279k miles. All is great with the vehicle but I am a bit concerned with the high mileage and it being an auto
I’m taking my future 370Z to you guys! Where are you located?
+@Nerdy_Aomeba We are based out of Massachusetts!
my 2012 370z is sitting a little over 120k miles atm. no problems with it at all. replaced the clutch just because it had over 110,000 miles on it but it didnt fail.
Thank you
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.
Great video and explanation of main faults. How Nissan let the Slave Cylinder be plastic and be rubbish for 350Z and 370Z I do not know. Would love to see this for GT86 please.
I never want to buy a car newer then 2006 and here is why. Changing the engine, just wow. I learned 370z is a very good looking car (2016 NISMO and up looks amazing) but is not a good buy used. New engine issues geez.
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!
Can you go over possible causes of why my cruise control is not engaging? Light comes on for cruise I have tried pulling up on the brake and trying to set cruise thinking it may be switch with no luck. What else could it be?
Great AND Helpful Thank You.
Problems With Solutions " now that is novel !"
I used to have a 2009 370Z for 2 years and out of all those problems, I never had anything of them except the CSC going bad.
This can also be applied to the 07+ 350z HR.
I'm shocked at how few problems these cars have!
My 370z never gave me a problem till recently.. it’s a 2012 double transmission, and since yesterday it doesn’t want to move, everything works, I can see the gears changing on the car panel but I don’t feel the gear change as I always did and the car doesn’t move an inch in any direction!
I’ve tried to find videos on how to fix it but no luck so far! Any info/help is much appreciated!
Thanks
Btw great video and lots of info 😍
+jadehermosat1979 Thanks for checking us out! You may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it, there could be something in the transmission that is not working properly.

I own a 2010 40th Anniversary Edition and never have a problem. Bullet proof and super fun
Love my Z, hate paying $1600 for my Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's..
I have noticed this Nissan have a clutch switch that sticks and doesn't allow you to start the car. Quick fix is to go under the dash and flick the switch a couple of times. That should get you home to get it replaced. 👍
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.
I have a 2017 370z and I was told the newer models didnt have the ESCL issue but I seem to have run into this problem. I searched for the part on 1A but nothing came up for my model year.
Does Z1's CSC Elimination kit help with the first problem?
Yes it does
Go zspeed
if you have a 09-13 watch out for gallery gaskets too!!
I have had a 370z touring with a catback exhaust and Zero issues.... only 50k Mls but I rarely drive it
I know what catch cans are and what they do. Adding one will not stop oil consumption.
Thank you for posting!!
anyone knows where i can get steering lock that he talk about in min 4:45?
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
Yep!!! The steering column just happened on my car!! Two weeks later the radiator filled internally… leaked radiator fluid right into my transmission…. Any idea why my 370 Z touring radiator failed? All Happened around 104,000 miles / automatic.

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 think there should be a part 2 to the 370z I know there’s more little issues
With it.
+Jose Montano Thanks for the feedback!
Not many, head on over to the 370z.com for a wealth of knowledge on this car.
I have to press and hold the gas peddle to turn on. Maybe a faulty fuel pressure pump
the cpu fail the windows fail the fuse box fails the driving lights fail
Yep! Sounds like ALL the problems the early and late gen 350z had 😂😂 I love my 07 manual cant complain the CSC is definitely a common thing.
You still having Csc issues
