The Z: She's got issues. Is the Z still worth it? Issues I've heard about and/or had. Date Issue Status 2022-08-29 Automatic transmission Z is part of Nissan recall & stop sale campaign Resolved 2022-10-05 Stop Sale on Manual transmission 2023 Z Resolved 2023-01-28 Stop Sale on the Z...

I mentioned this in the thread about A pillar paint flake, but I thought I'd surface it in its own thread to see if others have this issue or want to share photos. As you can see above, the passenger side (US variant, built Dec 2022) Katana is not well aligned (as compared to the driver side...

Hit this at speed on the 805 this morning. It dragged along the car until the next off ramp. My Z seems fine; the helmet, not so much. I was driving along, and a car two lanes to the left of me hit it right into my path. I tried to avoid it (unsuccessfully).

I recently disabled the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) features on my Z. I get that a lot of sports car owners want a car that makes some noise. I too loved the exhaust note on my G35. However now, 20 years after my G35 was new, I have some hearing deficits...

I found that my G35 would sometimes scrape bottom, for example if I drove over a tall speed bump. When I got the G37 that problem went away. It never scraped. Now that I have the Z, I find my car scraping in certain situations. My car is stock, so low, but not lowered. However, sometimes...

So, I finally got a chance to poke around at the infotainment system a bit. The car comes with a free 4 or 5 months of some subscription or another, which I may not continue after the trial expires, but I like the idea updating software and such. Today I tried to connect my car to my home...

The subject says it all. I've never owned a manual transmission vehicle with hill start assist, and it's freaking me out. In the owner's manual and the settings, I don't see a way to turn it off. Is this the first Z to have it?

I spent most of the day today driving (to the DMV, then to work, then home) with SynchroRev Match disabled. It felt a lot more natural. So much so that I'm not sure I'll turn it back on. Perhaps this poll has been done before, but I ask: SRM: off or on?

I agree with @MCN1SMO, finding this car was *a lot* of work. I pretty much obsessively scanned multiple zip codes almost every day to find this. I had found one other car with this spec 3 weeks earlier in North Platte, NE, but they wanted $10k over. I found this one at Horne Dodge/Nissan in...

Taking orders in 2099. IDK, maybe that's supposed to be 3001.

My current car is a 2012 G37S, which I love. It's the main reason, I'm considering the Z, but the G37S isn't without issues. I wonder if the dealer caused them. The biggest issue on my car is fading paint on the rear spoiler. This spoiler feels like a dealer-installed option. The spoiler has...

The Emerald Ace is docked. Load 'er up with some Zs!

So, I've been searching for a Performance 6MT Seiran Blue exterior with the Graphite interior, and I know it exists (example: ), but it's super hard to find. But I can find lotsa blue/blue cars. What gives? Which do you like? Blue/Graphite Blue/Blue

My daily-driver G37 has a trunk with a cargo net. This is quite practical as I can store my laptop securely. No one can see it, and it doesn't fly around on my drive to work. The Z has a hatch instead of a trunk, and no net. So, what's the best method to prevent somebody from smashing the Z's...

In another thread, there's a discussion about the rear hatch of two-tone cars being wrapped rather than painted. Can any Z owners confirm? https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/2023-nissan-z-launch-delayed-until-summer-2022.1066/post-54214

I've seen a lot of reviews that mention the homage to earlier generation Z cars. The hood and the headlights. The tail lights. But what about those exterior door handles? Does the Z pay homage to the 350Z and 370Z with the vertically hinged exterior door handles, or is it simply parts bin?

In normal everyday driving, when do you upshift? Looking at the owner manual, it seems like the suggested upshift speeds (even for quick acceleration) are pretty tame. 6th gear at 37mph? Really? The "quick acceleration" upshift speeds in the owner manual are what I'd call normal...

My current ride is from 2012. It doesn't have Android Auto, but I use my phone to navigate. It gets pretty good GPS reception sitting on top of the cup holders under the sun roof. For all you Z owners out there: how's your GPS reception with no sun roof and your phone tucked into the spot next...

What do folks think of an Audi TT style fuel filler door that matches the Katana trim? Might look pretty nice on the Z.
