Default List your Z issues

Let's see who's got the longest list

- my TP hisses threw a cell (non fouler didn't help)
- my exhaust rattles
- front bumper rock chip mayhem
- wing issue
- trunk retains water
- trunk too heavy
- valet curbed all 4 of my volks
- side skirt - different shade
- bose gives in at times (skips etc)

I'll be fixing one thing at a time

Umm...

1. My air just went out.
2. My passenger window won't roll down.
3. My driver's side tire is making a weird banging sound, think it's the breaks.

Hopefully all of that is covered under warranty, i'm taking it to the Nissan place tomorrow.

HMMMMM....so many

+1 on the exhaust rattling (only when cold)
+1 front bumper rock chip mayhem
My passenger window motor broke
Brakes squeeeellll like nuts (gotta love the abrasiveness)
My shiftknob is all kinds of worn down
Vibration when turning left at high speeds
CD player makes weird noises when taking in a CD
The doors rattle like they're full of broken bolts
The windows have grease streaks
The headlights have some "fog" type issues (already had them replaced once)
Transmission of course (only once thankfully)
Feathering of course
My exhaust tips are uneven (looking down at them)
Fuel door, mud guards, bumpers slightly different shade of PPW

AND AFTER ALL THAT....I WOULD NOT CONSIDER TAKING ANOTHER CAR

Talking

Too many compliments

Too fast

Too sticky to the road

Too much fun

Too many smiles

Too many girls

^^^^^ +
- I get more *** than a toilet seat
- I get more *** than a toilet seat
- It's sumtimes too fast for my own good
- I get more *** than a toilet seat (I think you get the idea)

Oh... did you mean bad issues?

- Rattle from the roll cage
- Sometimes the ***** I get more than a toilet seat smells like the toilet seat
... or a fish...
... or a fish that's been basted on a toilet seat...
... ok I'll stop now

"my sports car makes weird noises"

god forbid you actually ever drive a ferrari--that car makes sooooo many noises.

if you want a smooth transmission and no noises, why don't you get a cadillac?

I'm really really being serious...

It attracts like the the bird sh*t in the world
Washed my car yesterday...I had to get something from
my car this morning only to find five...FIVE bird sh*t
all over my car...including inside the lip of my right rear rim!
That's just BS

I also used to have all the common Z issues, but all of them
have been fixed with TSB.

Top #1 seperated
Top #2 seperated
Top #3 had a faulty seam from the factory (someone sneezed)
Top #4 is beginning to seperate

I think I see a trend. On the bright side, I only have the top up when the car is parked, so it really doesn't matter, but it does make me wonder if Nissan will ever get it right.

Yes we need more responses like this. Even thought I've had to replace my soft top twice, and my transmission, I still don't regret the purchase. That is until used '06 C6 convertibles come down in price......

Hey...

I'm thinking of buying either a 350z or a gen 2 viper gts. I think both cars look great. I could probably buy a used 350z and add allot of mods for the price of a stock viper.

But you guys are scaring the **** out of me with all these negative comments about the 350z. I thought nissan made a quality car.

What gives???
