Thanks for the replies. At least it's not just me experiencing it then. It's not become an annoyance yet, so I can live with it.

Hi All, Does anyone with Resonated Short Tails on their 370Z experience more vibration and rattling from the rear? Before I had the short tails fitted, there was a vibration/rattle coming from the back of the car and I'm assuming that because the exhaust resonates, this is what is amplifying the effect. Am curious to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing. As a side question, what could have been causing the original rattle/vibration? Thanks.

Hi All, Quick question. What do you think about Jet Washing a Zed?

Here are a few pics of my Nismo 370Z with the latest mods applied. The mods in in the pictures are as follows: Brake caliper colour change with Nismo decals. Slotted and drilled brake discs (also included red stuff brake pads). Tarmac sports short tails with Titanium tips.

Welcome to the forum. I thought I recognised the backdrop of your photos. The wooden building in the background is the Youth Hostel on Walton Hill, Near Street, Somerset. I should know, as I live in Street. Lol.

I have apparently been posting way to many threads, so as instructed I have set up a build thread here for anything and everything. I've only had my zed since August and my initial mods and refurbishments were as follows. Boot lid plastic cover replaced as the original one was cracked - Purchased via a Nissan dealer and cost just shy of £80.00. Front and rear panels resprayed as well as brake caliper colour change to white (included new Nismo Decals) - £390.00. Front and rear Nissan badges replaced with Z Badges and replacement "Nismo" and "370Z" badges fitted after respray - £70.00 Just recently I had some EBC Brake Discs and Red Stuff pads fitted as well some Nismo Short Tails - £1030.00. I am loving the Nismo Short Tails, although I didn't realise they would be quite so loud on a cold start. Was a bit of a shock this morning and I was worried what the neighbours would think. Hopefully I won't get any complaints. If I do, I may have to put a standard Nismo backbox back on. My zed is going to a car seat refurbisher on Friday to fix the cover on the drivers seat as it has come away on the side. I have tried fixing it myself but it just keeps pulling out again. Hopefully they can make it a more permanent fix. I'm sure you are asking "Where are the pics"? I will be posting some updated pics soon.

To save on threads, I'll put all updates on my website from now on.

Hi All, My 2015 370Z Nismo is going into the garage Monday. I'm having it serviced and they are also going to fit my new EBC Brake Discs and Red Stuff pads as well as the set of Nismo Short Tails I bought, all courtesy of Tarmac Sportz. Cheers Guys. Can't wait to see and hear the results. Will post up some pics when it's all done.

I don't want to get a new cover, mine is being repaired. Was just curious if it is possible to get one.

Just out of interest, is it possible to buy just the car seat cover?

Well I've managed to reduce the rattling and vibration coming from the boot and that has made things better already. Weirdly it was the car seat of all things. I'd tilted the car seat back and this made the top of the seat come into contact with the roof. As a result, any movement was channeling vibrations up through the seat, into the roof and then transferring it through the plastics in the back of the car (that's my theory anyway). After a bit of adjustment, the car seat is no longer in contact with the roof and this has made a huge difference.

It would be great to meet up with other owners. Trouble is, I'm in central somerset and there doesn't seem to be many 370Z Nismo owners in this neck of the woods who are forum members. Of course, if anyone is from this area, then by all means let me know, otherwise it looks like it would involve a bit of a trek to meet up with other owners.

Thanks Ekona. The garage I take my car too can do the wheel alignment so I will get them to check and adjust it if necessary.

I knew it wasn't going to be a smooth ride and I think when I took it for a test drive I didn't really know the car at that point so it felt like I thought it would feel. It's now after I've driven it for a while and got used to it that I've got the feel of it. I don't know, maybe it is just me. I went out in it last night and every bump I went over just threw me around in the seat (not violently, but I was bouncing up and down a lot), every rough bit of road was causing vibration up through the steering wheel. The handling felt quite odd as well, especially going round corners. I'm having it serviced next monday anyway, so I will get the garage to give it a thorough check.

Today I checked the front suspension for spacers, but sadly I didn't find any. I actually wish I had found some because if that's how harsh and rough the ride is all the time, I don't know if I want to keep my 370Z Nismo. I'm not enjoying driving it right now.

Thanks for all the comments. My zed is being serviced next week, so I am definitely going to get them to check for spacers.

I heard about the spacer issue. My car is going in for a service next Monday, so I will certainly get them to check that. I would like to sort out the vibration and rattling issue in the boot though, that gets a bit annoying.

I have tried to tucking the rubber back in, but it just keeps coming out again. I visited a local car seat upholsterer this morning and they are going to sort it out for me. Got to take my zed in next week.

Hi All, Just wanted to ask other 370Z Nismo owners what the ride comfort is like in them. I know it's a sports car and it's got stiff suspension, but I've just been out in mine and the ride felt so harsh and unforgiving, not to mention all the vibration noises and rattling coming from the boot. I'm not expecting the smoothest of rides, but it definitely felt rougher than it should be. I'd be interested to hear what other people's experiences are. Maybe it's just me.

I've tried to push the car seat cover back into the slot and it is okay for a while, but the problem is that when I get in an out of the car, I rub against the side of it and doing so pulls the cover back out. Just out of interest I phoned my local Nissan Dealer to get a price for just the back part of the car seat. It's a bloody good job I was sitting down because the guy I spoke to quoted £5300.00. That did include VAT, but there is no way I can justify that sort of money on a replacement back for the seat. I'd rather go out and buy some aftermarket seats. While writing this I have also phoned a specialist car seat upholsterer in my area and they said they could fix the seat for me for a small charge. So I am going to take my car over to them on Tuesday and see what they can do.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

I had the calipers on my 350Z GT4 repainted to match the bodywork colour too. Some people like to have a colour on their calipers that contrasts, I prefer to colour match them. I wash my car at least once a week, sometimes twice, weather permitting, so they will certainly get cleaned on a regular basis. I do get what your saying about the wheel design though Ekona. I would stick with the white calipers, but I would maybe look at getting the rims repainted so that the were all black without the silver accents. That would make the calipers more prominent.

Updated pic of my zed with the repainted calipers.

Thanks for the advice. I would definitely consider doing that.

Thanks for the link, but that's more to do with the quality of the leather. Whilst my driver seat is showing a bit of wear, the main issue I have is that the seat cover has actually come away on the side. It's no longer covered by the warranty, so unless it can be repaired, I think I'm going to have to get a whole new seat. Any idea how much a new one would be?
