Paint flaking off of front suspension member stay bracket

[Madgud]

Hi,
Does anyone have the same issue on their Z. Mine's a Proto from 2022. It has not hit anything, hasn't scraped on anything, but paint is just bubbling and eventually coming off of those brackets (both side).

Would that be something that Nissan would cover under their warranty?

[For reference this is the part number and location: https://nissan.oempartsonline.com/o...9MjAyMyZ0PXByb3RvLXNwZWMmZT0zLTBsLXY2LWdhcw==]

Mine hasn't done it yet but my Nissan 370 which is the same as the Nissan Z did the same thing I just slightly sanded it back and spray painted it with some black paint

I don't even drive my car in the rain and mine were both sand blasted on the leading edges from debris coming off the front tires. Im at a little over 8K miles. I ended up taking both sides off and painting the edges with a thick coat of POR15, seems to be holding up well.

This is a perfect opportunity for an aftermarket company to produce a nice tubular version with a built in jacking point. Are you listening Z1...

Can they just be taken off the car without anything else dropping down or moving.
sorry I’m not exactly a car mechanic.

Yes, 3 bolts per side they come right off, nothing to it.
