Will370z

I did actually, it was one of the reasons I looked back at the 370 to be honest.....it's a bummer for you guys who already have a 370 if it impacts used prices but from a buyer point of view then that could lead to me possibly getting one a little sooner if that is the route i end up taking. I was looking on autotrader last night and noticed a few nice looking, low mileage examples at 16k. Not an issue for me, i agreed a future trade in value for my 370z when i bought it

I have no regrets whatsoever. The 370 is a much nicer place to be than my old 350, quality of the interior is much better. I felt there was a big power difference but i came from an older 276 350z. I have let a few people take her for a spin and those with the later zeds did say there wasnt that much of a difference, if they didnt look down at the dash it felt like their old zeds. Its definitely evolution not revolution. For me i love the looks and the side profile with those alloys is great. Only down side is the dreadfully boring stock exhaust. Did you see my recent post about the price of new 370z's plummeting by 6k euros, may be worth holding off and see the impact of this on new / used cars in the UK.

hahaha, i wasn't quite screaming like a girl, i think it was dodgy screws in the handle and id been pumped from the gym

Nice pics

Glad they did a good job, looks great

They will have the historic error code in the ECu but that means little, they need to reset, start the car again and get the current error code to know what they are dealing with. They cant do that if the problem no longer occurs. Still we shall see, they have been brilliant with all my issues so far and said they will sort this if it occurs so for now im happy to trust them

I do to but in all honesty their are a few more important things in life

In response to the gt86 nissan drops the price of the face lifted 370 from €39k to €33k, quite a drop. http://blog.caranddriver.com/the-continental-a-huge-price-drop-on-the-z-fiskers-plans-and-an-eternal-favorite/

Big fan of rallying, will have to catch this.

Too right, makes me smile and love every minute, but sometimes..........grrrr

More headroom would be nice

Ouch thats not good pete, hope the roof is ok and you must be relieved you moved the zed. Hope its sorted asap

Quite a bit on the car this morning

Well a little relieved today. No light on the dash this morning, but just to be safe i clear all the snow off the car and head to nissan aldershot toask their advice. They were very reassuring saying it could be one of many things not just the immobiliser steeringlock issue but they couldnt tell unless the llight was on at the time and they could plug it into the diagnosis software. Their advice is carry on driving it may be nothing but if the light comes on again take it to them and they will investigate. If the worst comes and the car wont start call the rac and get them to transport it direct to them, made me laugh when they said do not let the rac attempt to fix the problem. They said given the issue has happened with 6 other 370s on the forum and the recall in the us its pretty much guaranteed that nissan will sort it all out without cost regardless of whether the car is under warranty. In summary it may be nothing but if a problem does occur get the car to us and we will sort it. Its nice to have a capable nissan garage nearby, especially when rosie has one of her tantrums.

Thanks for the responses guys. Im going to call them tomorrow and get it all documented and then get it booked in for them to look at. As you say it may be the start of the problem. Far too common an issue it seems and definitely inevitable

Thats what i thought andy. I agree with stewart looks like the key just had a wobble. Warranty out at the end of the month so will be keeping a close eye on it.

Oh boy, that was fun.......not. With all the recent threads about the steerling lock issue on the 370z and my comments that "looks like we better get prepared for the inevitable" i didn't realise i would be tempting fate so early on. Finished work and jumped in the car to be greeted with the yellow key light....oh oh A quick google and yup, its the first sign of the dreaded steerling lock issue. Manual states "if the engine is off the car may not restart, if the car is running go your nearest nissan dealer immediately." - ok major panic now. Phoned aldershot and they recognised the issue but didnt have the resource to look at it then, advice was go home and get the RAC........not helpful as i know what they will say. Instead travel into the nearest nissan dealer just in time before they all leave. Left car running just in case and went in. This was the place that had previously ordered the wrong part 5 times in a row but i was desperate. I explain the symptons and my diagnosis. "never heard of that issue before"....oh dear - " so tell me why are nissan doing a recal on this issue in the US and i know of a number of people on the UK forums who are having this problem". My worry was if i turn the car off it wont restart and it gets expensive and inconvient, if its running the can remove the fuse and provide a temporary solution. Engineer comes out, very helpful, its either of 2 things an immobiliser issue with the steerling lock or the key battery is low. They couldnt do anything then but recommended i go home and try the other key. Rush hour trafffic oh what fun, dont stall or im a dead man...lol Got home, then thought, lets try risk it, turned it off. Turn it back on....key light still there. pants. Get the key out of pocket. try again........no light........oh..........try again.....still no light. Go get other key and try that.......still no light........ and relax. Looks like my pockets contain some kind of insulating protector that confuses the immobiliser system. Still not entirely happy but car is starting fine.Very tempted to go remove that fuse to guarantee no issues but thats going to have an impact on security and insurance so i dont want to do that. Maybe its just the key was dodgy at that moment. Who knows but maybe ive been let off this once........... Panic over time for a whisky

Thats quite a lot of snow you got there pete
