What Nissan Needs To Address on the Z35

[ZZ2022]

I guess this thread was made before the proto debut? I never owned a 370Z so I can't speak on the mechanics, but from a visual aspect Nissan hit a homerun. I just love the nice clean lines of the exterior. While the interior does have a lot of carried over components I feel the design team did just enough to make it feel modern and fresh.

And its actually a Nissan so another plus, unlike the zupr4

I hope Nissan has rectified the sticky dash issue.

Sure would suck to be collecting one of these cars and have the dash begin deteriorating, even when the car is well taken care of.

Also; I hope they fix the turbo issues they had from 2016-2018. In the Q50s, they were going out pretty quick. I have a 2020, so far so good.

From my recollection of browsing the Infiniti forums, it was an issue with the turbos leaking oil or not recieving oiling correctly, right? If so, I think there was a TSB and revision on that, so should be all good now.

Number one concern for me is the CSC. If unchanged/unrevised, I will roll with it for a bit, but will likely opt for a CSC elimination kit with upgraded clutch.

Yes, that is correct, from 2019 onwards they apparently fixed it. Some guy on my Infiniti group shown the part numbers are now different proving that they have updated the turbos

How will we know if the CSC issue is gone in the new Z? Any visual clues to see by 8/17 or Nov order timeframe?

Nissan never admits there was a problem in the first place.

You can't see the CSC from outside the car, you need to pull the trans out.

The best way to get an idea if Nissan even made any effort at all to resolve the CSC issue would be to check when the parts catalog for this car becomes available. If the P/N is different than the 370Z P/N, then yes, the part has been revised. That is not a guarantee the issue is resolved, but at least it's a different P/N.

That's in regards to the 370Z.

We still don't know if Rev3 solves anything.

Not saying it solved anything. Just pointing out that there were revisions starting from the HR 350Zs since you mentioned P/N's.
It will be great if they stopped using a csc altogether.

Gotcha, Nissan revised the exhaust manifolds on the Titans several times, they all crack and leak anyway. So I have zero faith in Nissan's obscure parts revisions.

I'll just drive the Z until the CSC fails then retrofit it to a traditional throwout setup.

Any telltale signs of it failing, appx miles, gradual loss of clutch pedal travel? Hope it’s not immed, would hate to have sudden failure while on track?!

Sorry I just don’t have experience with the Z34, serious issue.

I have my doubts as well. Most people are anxious to know official specs, colors, pricing, etc. I just wanna know if Nissan has addressed a 20 year old issue

CSC is also a concern of mine. Just crazy that when I was buying my 08 350z in 2009, I was reading about needing to upgrade that piece and here I’m still reading about it.
