Since mid-March, I've been in two situations that make me think my Z might be accident prone due to its size.
First, a truck bumps into me while it was backing out of a parking space in the parking lot at work.
My detailer was able to clean this up, and it looks like new. However, the driver...
I had my car into the shop for the three year service: oil, filter, brake fluid, intake air filters, cabin air filter, etc. The car has about 13,400 miles on it.
I also had them look at the cruise control and the clutch pedal creaking noise issues. No repro.
The air filters are a funny story...
Practicing my alliteration in the title.
This has happened to me many times now, and it's on my list of complaints for my next trip to the dealer.
I'll be driving along, say in a 45 zone, and I'll set the cruise control. I typically don't use the radar-guided ICC. This is the old school...
I just picked up my car after an oil and filter change, and three of my four tires were inflated to the "max pressure" printed on the side wall. And then the fourth tire...IDK smoke break?
Anyway, I stopped at the nearest gas station to reduce these to sensible levels, and this was more of a...
My trusty Craftsman Model 75121 120V Inflator, which I've owned for years, failed me this morning. I was topping up the air in my tires. Three tires went fine, back up to spec'd pressure, and on the fourth tire, the inflator hose failed, and I ended up losing pressure in that tire before I...
I don't use the windshield washer system that often, but after the bee squad bombed my car, I was driving home into the sun, and I decided to wash the window, and it didn't work.
The wipers swept over the windshield, smearing everything, but no washer fluid sprayed. Great.
What I've tried so...
Anyone able to find the PDF brochure for the 2025 Z?
I found the 2023 and 2024 brochures here: https://www.nissanusa.com/interactivebrochures/sportscars/nissan-z/nissan-z/index.html
Scroll to the bottom and Download PDF brochure, but it still seems like the 2024.
I've noticed that, while listening to Android Auto (maybe it happens with other audio sources, too), if the parking assist beeps start to happen, which ducks the AA playback, if you turn down the volume while ducked, when it unducks the volume is not restored. Bug ?.
I've noticed for some time that the milage reported in the MyNISSAN app (Android) is inaccurate. The controls still work (e.g., remote lock/unlock), and the date of my last drive is correct, the the milage is way off.
I have let my NissanConnect services expire. Is that needed for milage...
In this thread, @qellman32 reports having about 32k miles. Anybody else close to or over that? I'm only a bit over 8k miles, myself. How's your high-milage Z holding up?
Okay, I get that this isn't a valid comparo, but I had a rental Ford Edge this weekend, and boy was I happy to get back to my Z.
The biggest difference I noticed: the Z"s brakes are amazing. The brakes in the Edge are a big pile of mush. You have to really press the pedal to get any stopping...
This pan has a capacity of 3.5 liters (more than our Zs, equal to the 350Z, and slightly smaller than than the 370Z). As I was washing it I was trying to visualize dividing it by six and imagining the size of an engine block. The volume seems smaller than I'd expect. I haven't quite wrapped my...
I've never done a track day or an autocross event before, but recently two opportunities have come up, and I'm thinking of doing one or the other. For a novice, would you do a track day or an autocross day as your first experience?
I've had this happen to me a few times.
To help avoid a possible speeding ticket, I often use my cruise control on the surface streets that I take too and from work, unless there are hills or curves, but that's another story...
The speed limits are 45, 50, 55. So I'll turn on the cruise (non...

You just washed your Z. She looks all sparkly and showroom fresh. It's a gorgeous mid-summer day.
Do you (a) park her in the garage to keep her clean, or (b) head out for a cruise, and seize the day?
