What I Wish I Was Told Before Buying A Nissan 370z | 6 Year Review

[@dfacedxa]

pop the hood and see piece of the gallery gasket? nahhh bro. if you want to see if your gallery gaskets are fucked the easiest way is the drop the oil pan, youll see pieces of it. otherwise you need to remove a vtc cover and maybe see something. show me a picture of a visible gallery gasket from just popping the hood if im wrong.

[@On3_media]

Nailed it. After posting White Aaron commented on that as well! My error! It’s been a while since I’ve done VQ stuff again. I did my oil change and saw a piece in the catch bin. Appreciate the correction!

[@dfacedxa]

@@On3_media did he say anything about nissan changing the hardware? to the best of my knowledge nissan changed the gasket material but kept putting phillips screws in the years after the update. Aaron knows more than me. I would honestly love to be wrong about that.

[@On3_media]

370z❤❤❤

[@joevanseeters2873]

My 370Z has been my absolute favorite car I have ever owned, and I have owned quite a few over the 45+ years that I have been driving. It just gives good performance, especially as a street car. I don't ever track mine and it's totally stock other than the 10mm lowering kit from Nissan back when it was offered. My 2014 370Z is over 10 years old now and it only has 20,000 miles on it and it looks, smells, and most importantly DRIVES like it's a brand new car. I know these motors are supposed to be great with regular maintenance, and so far, mine is still like brand new, although I have kept it garage kept since day one. I have also religiously have done the required and suggested maintenance since I have owned it. One of the best values on the aftermarket scene, if you want a great first sports car and something you can definitely upgrade as there are so many aftermarket parts and accessories, you won't be disappointed with a Z. I prefer the 370Z over the new "Z", but that's just me. I just like the looks of the 370Z over the new Z and the seats in the new Z Nismo are way too tight! Great for a track day, horrible for everyday use. I am not a big person and I could barely fit in the new Nismo Z seats. And I have had race seats before and they were not nearly as uncomfortable as those new Nismo Z seats. The regular Z seats are fine as the are essentially the same seats as the 370Z seats, just in different colors and maybe upgraded fabrics or whatever. They look pretty much identical. I did a complete walk around of the Z, inside and out and under the hood. I was shocked at how much they recycled from the 370Z into the new Z. They must have just used the exact same under pinnings and put a new body on it. The interior looks almost identical from the front seats back, including the doors and door pulls, seats, floor board, and rear area. Almost identical. You can tell that Nissan just "refreshed" the 370Z with a new dash board, steering wheel, and engine. I still prefer my naturally aspirated 370Z over the new one. They are priced way too high. For that money, I'll upgrade to a Toyota Supra, which I want to do at some point anyway.

[@Reidy82]

Owned mine for over 7yrs. I'm ashamed to say its been off the road for a couple of years now and I'm just getting to the point I can concentrate on cars again. There's nothing wrong with mine apart from a couple paint correction issues but its such a solid car. Just turned 42k miles and 13yrs old. So tempted to get a Z1 supercharger kit.

[@On3_media]

The Z1 SC is tempting! It looks sick, but I’m a turbo guy! Reallyyyyy want a switchback racing kit.

[@TGR972]

The 370Z is my dream car✌🏽️. After 6 years of ownership my only complain is about electrical issues . fan control module , camshaft position sensor x 2, crankshaf position sensor and recently i have to change my starter😭 . the car is basically stock only full NISMO suspension , K&N drop in filter and AAM short tail. it's the 2014 face-lift

[@On3_media]

Ouuu, that’s the best face lift imo!

[@Gremkingful]

Did you buy a 2014 v1 nismo or have you just installed a nismo suspension + front lip?

[@JaziahZ34]

I hate to say I love a material item, but man oh man I love 370z’s. One of the best platforms you can buy on a budget. I cant wait to fix mine ( I got in a accident) :(

[@On3_media]

The price it’s at is perfect! Not many cars in this realm that give you this bang for your buck. I hope yours is back to life soon!

[@LarionCarson]

Dude i was schocked when i saw you that big next to the car 😂 btw thanks for the info. I had a 350 years ago. Think to get a V1 for a weekend /investment car

[@On3_media]

I’m super tall lmao. Idk how much more the V1 will be worth, but I’m also thinking of getting one and just sitting on it as a weekend car/mini investment.

[@ziltoidomniscient848]

09' Z no issues with the fuel arm. did have a failure on the engine (spun bearing) swapped it. upgraded the csc to a JWT one, it worked great! but with the engine swap I ended up cooking it over time. doing some heat management this winter, along with a T56 transmission.

[@On3_media]

The T56 has the perfect, notchy feel. That’ll be a sick upgrade. Especially if you go boosting the future.

[@Zythaa]

Just watched this after installing a new exhaust and z1 intakes, bro speaking facts. Those were the first mods ive put on my 370z. You've got a crazy wing tho bit much for me haha

[@On3_media]

This car is for time attack. The front clip is chassis mounted and just as aggressive 🤣 I wouldn’t install this wing if it was just a cruiser. I’d go more subtle.

[@seethruhead7119]

It's a Galle-R-y Gasket.

[@Qghostz]

My 2011 Nismo has no of those problems, but it has P0300 come and go off and on. This code makes me go crazy. I already spent 2k to replace parts with OEM such as: new spark plugs, new ignition coils, crankshaft sensors, pcv valves, gas cap, evap sensors, Throttle body O rings, new engine oil, new transmission fluid. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I DO TO MAKE THIS CODE GO AWAY??

[@On3_media]

Check that the ignition coil plugs aren’t crossed. If this happened before you touched anything then check the harness itself. You’ve changed a lot that would typically fix it. If it all looks good then do a compression test.

[@GregoryBrettin]

Outro: 10/10. Also, I think you could do an "If you're thinking about swap prep" video. You literally have done 3 swaps on that car.

[@On3_media]

I don’t want to put people through that hell 🤣 Swaps are always more of a headache than expected. But funny enough, I had an easier time doing the VR30 swap than putting a VQ back in 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@GregoryBrettin]

@@On3_media That would be the point of the video I think, "Swaps aren't easy" People think LS swaps jump in the car for about 3-4k. It's more of a think twice about it prep video.

[@alexxvaladez443]

I think what i find the most annoying is people who buy base model 370zs then proceed to add nismo bumpers and call it a build, like bro if you wanted a nismo you shoulda bought one lol i owned a 2013 nissan 370z sport touring and it was nice but after a year later i ended up selling it and bought a 2019 370z nismo. Btw the best sounding exhuast for this car is the 3inch full exhaust from gt haus meistershaft. Its around 3k but worth every penny. Also intakes do admin 3 inch intakes and tune he gets down for vqs. As far as the fuel pump issue, just get a high pressure fuel pump from z1

[@On3_media]

It’s gonna come off rude and maybe it is… why do you care so much lmao? If someone puts bumpers on and calls it a build then just move on. We can all agree that ain’t it. The only NISMOs that are worth it to me are ~14. No autos, number plates, and they made rare options in the 14’s. They’re awesome. The 2015+ are dope, but lost their heritage (though I like the body style better). I haven’t heard that exhaust but I’ll check it out! 370z don’t have HPFP- these cars use the in-tank LPFP. Moncef is a dope dude. I’d consider tuning with him on a build some day. Jon has taken care of me and done all my motors proper! Go with a tuner that makes the most sense for you.

[@On3_media]

[@joshtravis7428]

question ! is a 2010 370z touring roadster automatic with 124k miles worth the buy for 9k? clean title, one owner, looks good. and what should i change/replace off rip if i do get it to ensure reliability? new to the 370z idea so please let me know !! awesome vid, def getting a sub

[@On3_media]

Thanks! Having a pre-purchase inspection is always clutch. But, the autos tend to be easier to deal with. The transmissions are much weaker, but going with a couple of bolt ons isn’t an issue. Make a flex plate for when the time comes? Until then, just enjoy! You’re good.

[@H1GHD3FF]

Road noise is the biggest issue for me

[@On3_media]

I personally didn’t get a ton of road noise to a level that bothered me when I was full interior.

19x10.5 +22 all around 275/35/19 up front 285/30/19 in the rear. I’d do +15 offset for a better fit in the rear and 275/35/19 tires all around.

[@AmpHahaClips]

i thought they fixed the galley gasket issue in 2012 at least thats what i was told

Any advice from you guys between a 350 and 370 and which has less issues etc

[@z-ro34]

I have a friend who owned and tracked both. He said the 370Z was comprehensively a better car out of the box. Just look for a clean example with an accurate maintenance record (if that’s even possible).

[@reinaldofigueroa4557]

Do you ever have problems with the vvel p1606 code. And if you did how you fixed

[@JohnJohnInDaZ]

Literally just had this happen to me last week when my suspension was stiff hitting big bumps I guess the vibration made wires lose contact or maybe the magnet got moved for a second and threw the car into limp mode so all I did was delete code disconnect battery and checked if relay was okay and softened my suspension

[@wokkstr]

i’m looking at a 370z nismo and a sport i’m not sure which would be better any advice? i plan on modding either one

Either or is fine. The NISMO will have all the nice bits. The small subtle things and also great gearing depending on the year.
