"Z" Overall Reliability/Issues/QC ??

[trackratZ]

Was
Sold it after a little over 3 years/24k miles. It was just never as fun or engaging as the C7 (which I kept for 7 years/60k miles). The Z to me is a hybrid between the C7 & S2k.

The C7 Grand Sport is still one of the best Vettes out, itching to own one someday.

Only "problem" I can think of on my 2024 Perf is my infotainment system reboots sometimes like 30 seconds after startup. Has happened maybe 10 times.

Check your shipping fuse. Driver's side down low, covered by a removable door. Big white item on the left needs to be pushed in.

Just checked and it is in as far as it can go. Thanks.

What confuses me is the comment directly above yours praises the paint, lol
But yeah I've heard it's soft too
Can I ask do you have a sound clip of the induction noises or when it happens when in the Nismo?

I dont right now but I can get one this weekend.

As some others have mentioned, it does stain easily and in my experience, it chips easily. I had 4+ chips before 100 miles on the Odometer, including 2 on the door.

Have had my 24 nismo for 7500 miles. Has been tuned for 5000 of them and thankfully no crazy issues so far. Change oil every 2-3000 miles. Only real thing I notice is the front sensors go haywire if there’s frost of dirt on them and a dash vibration but that’s stuff I can deal with haha.

That is a Nissan issue. Happens in every Nissan I drive in those conditions. It even happens in intense fog.

I've noticed radar cruise fails in heavy rain, or tight construction areas with improper shoulders. Never been an issue because I want to take over in those conditions anyways. There is a slight delay between conditions clearing and the dash warning going away.

5) Interested in why you added Nismo intakes. Are the stock Nismo air boxes the same as on other models? Thanks.

1) The parking harness was a mistake that only affected a small number of cars. It’s not a recall with the current Nismos.

Yes the stock Nismo trim intakes are the same as base and performance. Compared side-by-side with one others extracted from other local Z owners.

I chose the Nismo intakes just to keep the warranty. I dont need 600hp. I just wanted turbo noises to tickle the tism and get the giggles flowing like the 2 year old I am.

Thank you for the clarification on the harness. It didn't impact me and the topic went quiet so I lost track of the details on it.

Interesting discussion. Opinion based.
Imagine if Nissan put VR38DDTT in the Z. Omg! Many good points brought up.

I saw this vid a few hours ago. I think guy in this vid is talking out of his ass.

Agree, I almost bought one till I met an owner at a cars and coffee and he kindly informed me of all the quality control issues, from brakes, seat material quality, dash fabric separation, random tranny codes that come and go. So far no issues with my Z., I did my research and got a vale sports car with my mind made of of what the car is not what I wanted it to be. No regrets

Almost got one myself until I spent time on the owners Forums and talked with long time owners in person. On the forums you'll first have to get past the long list of people who filed class action lawsuits. Pretty sure if you read long enough you'll be eligible for anxiety/depression meds. Here's what's crazy. When you talk with long time owners it's another day at the office. They accept the failure rate/cost. It kind of reminded me when I dated strippers. I was told on more than one occasion if you keep the miles off of it, your gtg.

I got one when it came out. Loved the looks and handling. The RTV thing goes back awhile. By the way it looks you'd think they put it on by hand. Truth is it's applied by a robotic arm. It has to be over applied to keep from leaking and then still no guarantees. I don't know if they still do it but they put absorbent mats from the factory on the under tray to fix the problem. I was going to keep it around, but then I met the Z. Like one of my X wife's, I kicked it outta bed for something new.

Well, now they have the VR35 as a viable future option for an even spicier Nismo Z.
