New Nissan Z failure is due to the dealership, not the car itself. Dealerships have hiked the price by double to triple the price.

Scotty, I’m an old man. Purchased a set of brake drums and shoes for the rear brakes on my 2005 Silverado, and installed them myself. The drums were from Detroitaxle. Took me and three mechanics to diagnose the pulsating that I experienced after installing all of that, to not being the front disc brakes being defective, but the new rear drums being defective! You see, I mistakenly diagnosed the pulsating feel I was getting after replacing the rear brakes to being the front brakes! Never dreamed the new drums were the problem! Of course Detroitaxle didn’t want to warrant the drums because I had them on for forty days before realizing they were defective! Which they only give 30 days for free returns apparently! Oh, they offered after I asked to speak with a supervisor, to allow me a replacement or refund if I would pay $113 to ship the defective ones back….I paid $137 for the set! The ones I bought locally ended up costing me $225 for the pair, but they actually work! Just wanted to ask you if you ever tried Detroitaxle parts and what you thought about them? I know you don’t mind calling it like you see it! Thank you sir! I love watching your videos!

They're not failures but by most accounts, Nissan didn't go anywhere near far enough with the redesign. The 400 would have been a really nice update back in say, 2010. But after 19 years of 350/370Z cars that changed little after all that time, people were expecting a lot more out of the new car. Ditto, the Titan and Frontier pickups.

I really like the new Z car actually. I understand what you’re saying about the turbos, but you’d be hard-pressed to not find a non GDI, non-turbo car these days. Also, we had a couple of the VQ Nissans in the family and while they’re great motors, they have their own set of issues. I do know a couple of people that have put a decent amount of mileage on the 3 L turbo that is in the new Z. It’s been out on the Infiniti for quite some time. I think the redesign is sharp, it mixes the perfect amount of retro with new, and I’m really excited to drive one. I actually think Nissan is on an upswing. For instance, they finally got rid of the awful CVT in the Pathfinder. While it’s not a pathfinder as we know it, still, it is definitely also an improvement over the last generation. I am rooting for Nissan. I’ve had a lot of them and I’m hoping That they get their groove back. Perhaps with Ghosn having been ghosted, we will see some welcome changes.

[@stevekendra8983]

Funny this came out now; Friday when I was coming home from work, after I got off the highway, there was this young kid in his nissan z-car with the hood up and steam coming out. People do your research when getting a used one of these. Cars can be as bulletproof as possible, but never underestimate a younger guy with a sports car. They'd cook any engine you could imagine in less time than you'd think. None of us guys were really smart when it comes to cars when we were that age

[@vincedibona4687]

Speak for yourself. I started in auto mechanics class as a junior in high school, been taking care of mine and other peoples cars ever since. I surely wasn’t stupid about cars, even at 17.

[@richsweeney1115]

It could have been a blown radiator hose....a leaking radiator.....something like that. I've usually been smart about cars.. I started learned when I was young, and I went to school for automotive in high-school and continued learning after highschool

When i was looking for a 370 the hardest thing was finding one that wasn’t wrecked

[@Lofi.z34]

Unfortunately they get some bad rap for kids who don't do maintenance. But for the people (like me) who do even the most basic maintenance, the car itself is built amazingly well.

[@gordocarbo]

NEver abused mine but ran them hard at times. Couldnt afford to replace a blown one. Type you talk about were in HS, parents paid for them must be nice

[@DirtyDanRacimg]

You can adjust the lash on the intake side by replacing or grinding the buckets. We do it all the time. As long as your in spec the VVEL doesnt care. And i say we do it all the time in the sense of doing a valve job. Ive never seen a oem 370z need valve adjustment and im a master nissan tech.

Scotty! I recently aquired an 87 300ZX from an older gentleman. 85,600 miles on it now. Z’s are truly drivers cars. My favorites

[@its.Andy1]

I had a 370Z for a few years. I’ve noticed the motor is pretty noisy. So is the clutch too. I thought I had a knock but after doing researching and asking other owners, it’s “normal” lol It was a fantastic and fun car. It never gave me an issue except for the clutch slave cylinder that went out. It’s located inside the transmission bell housing so it was quite some work.

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

I have a 2010 Alfa Romeo 159 1750 Tbi Ti (petrol), the motor is really noisy in that, quite a heavy knock at idle, turns out it's perfectly normal, something to do with the fuel system, sounds rubbish though, i recon that's why most modern engines have plastic covers, to try and drown out the crappy racket they make.

[@Socialrejectzallhuman]

Ah I had to replace one too in my genesis coupe , some work.

[@brandonhall4631]

Lucas synthetic motor treatment. I had a court about twice a year my valves making 0 noise. My friend and I crank the car and put it in as it was running and you heard it go off from making a bunch of Racket to absolutely silent. Lucas makes the best additives I used it all my vehicles.

[@craig357]

You can get an aftermarket slave cylinder put on outside the bell housing. Many 370z owners do that. Also clicking from rear wheel is the main wheel nut as it comes loose. Think there is an aftermarket nut many put on.

[@ZillaFullBoost]

I love my 2023 Nissan Z so I don’t agree with you.

As long as those dongles are made correctly (no excessive current draw or EMI) they are good to be left plugged in for long drives. Just consider unplugging them if you're not driving the vehicle cause they'll drain the battery!

The new 400Z is a failure because of the dealerships, when you jack up the MSRP to double or more what you expect. Good old Dealerships destroyed the new Z before it got started with greed.

I had two G37’s (a 2008 and a 2010) with the same 3.7 VQ engine as this 370Z. They were absolutely fantastic cars that I bought both brand new and I loved both of them! I do disagree with you about the new Z. It’s an awesome car and the Red Sport turbo engine has been around for years in Infiniti Q50’s and is generally a reliable and powerful engine. Plus, the new Z just looks incredible! I love the Z32 300ZX-inspired tail lights especially!

[@unculturedswine9984]

Sometimes this dude Scotty does not know what he is talking about. The new Z car is not a failure they are barely out on the lots so how can you say it's a failure. The supply of these cars are low just like most other makes and dealers are charging well over mrsp for people to buy one. Then he goes on and run down every other make of cars except for Toyota. He dies not like Dodge, Vollswagen and others and he hates Fiat. I know people who have had extremely good luck with their fiat 500s. People listen to his negativity they stop buy different types of cars from different manufacturers then sooner or later the only car option you can buy is a Toyota or a Honda. I am one person that like options in the car market and those options are going away because people listen to this guy's propaganda!

I don't agree with electric vehicles at all. Not green technology the power comes from coal and natural gas mostly. Batteries don't last and are fire hazards, and what do you do with them when they die. Electric cars for local city drivers ok works, but for semi trucks and long distances, we need to push forward real green technology like hydrogen fuel cell technology, which will be better, and vehicles will last longer. This is real Green technology that won't kill the electric grid.

[@DescartesRenegade]

@@1bam1productions turbocharger, not supercharger.

[@1bam1productions]

@Descartes, Rene both use more gas. The difference between the two is supercharger takes power to make power and is always running. Turbo takes exhaust gas to get running so it's power kicks in at higher rpm over idol. Turbo is also more efficient because of this but make no mistake both systems still use more fuel and also cost more to run
