That's not good. They don't know for sure what caused it but reckon it was probably electrical and possibly related to the motor that adjusts the passenger seat. They're adament it wasn't related to any modifications they did (though I guess it wouldnt be good for their business if they said it could be...)

Yeah im curious about modifications haha. They modified it quite heavily and Id assume some wiring was done at some point? Cant imagine they didnt touch any electrical at all but maybe im wrong. I also had a thought would they admit if it was their fault? Who knows, maybe they would but it does seem odd. Very concerning if its just a random fire on stock components like a seat, seems insane actually.

Yes, I'd be much more comfortable knowing it was something they did, but can't imagine they'd ever admit it.
It's a bit of a coincidence that the only one to go up in flames is a highly modified one. If we heard about it happening to a stock one I'd be a lot more worried.
yeah its being something OEM that burns it to the ground like that would be very concerning. doesnt seem possible that everyones seat switch is a ticking time bomb. just odd since so much of the interior is a carry over from the 370z
I was friends with a big name tuner shop whos GTR NISMO burnt up while on tail of the dragon and their claim was it leaves caused the fire..........

Yeah seems crazy huh? Either we have a VERY SERIOUS fucking recall situation on our hands or there's more to the story haha. My gut tells me some electrical modifications were made along the lines causing an issue. We may never know I guess or maybe we'll be getting letters from Nissan sometime in the future. I have my doubts lol.yeah its being something OEM that burns it to the ground like that would be very concerning. doesnt seem possible that everyones seat switch is a ticking time bomb

10% of all the Z's shipped to USA burned in this event.
Good job, idiot.

On one hand, someone could say I was over-exaggerating, but with how few Z's have actually been shipped, I'm not that far off. I think someone posted we only received (USA) 7 Z's last month?

7 sold last week (US), from what I can tell.
Wasn't there another Z fire? I tried to Google it, but came up empty.

Yup, a different Z burned up without a back story
