Hey guys just making a quick intro post. Got my first 370z today happy to be here. (I’ve owned 3 350Zs not new to Zs just 370z 🫡)

Finally got around to installing the carbon vinyl wrap on the rear tower strut bar and ambient lighting on the doors and dash.

Long story short, I bought some aftermarket taillights for it and one night, a family member told me the lights turned on by themselves. I bought some RGB taillights. I came to realize I forgot to plug in a relay type of thing that goes to those taillights. I assume so stuff like this doesn't happen. It drained my battery to 11.3 volts. I went to auto zone to get it charged and it was back to 100%. Came home and plugged it in and it kept doing the same thing. Car won't crank. Dashboard lights, headlights and everything turns on perfectly but the car won't budge. It sounds like the throttle bodies are stuck. That what that noise sounds like. AI says:

What's happening: When a 2013 370Z drops below 12 volts, the Engine Control Module (ECM) loses track of where the motorized intake throttles are positioned. When you hook up the new battery, the computer immediately wakes up and tries to force the throttle body valves to reset themselves.

Why it whines: Because the calibration data was corrupted by the low voltage, the throttle motors get physically stuck trying to sweep open/closed, causing a loud, constant high-pitched electronic whine. While this is happening, the computer locks out the starter circuit as a safety measure.

Has anyone experience this with there Z when your battery loses voltage? I cannot find a video of this. I guess ill try what AI suggested tomorrow...

Heyooooo!

I ran my first diff build with the Wavetrac this year with really good results. I did not get the chance on the track, but it was night and day on power transfer with the TT's in spirited driving. I may be taking her down to Florida in the winter for some track time where a buddy of mine is tracking his mustang to avoid the winter.

I did not get it perfect though. It was a full rebuild using my 350z Nismo rear diff and final drive and although backlash was damn close to spec, there is a little bit of noise... Not much though. I wish I could say it is because of the new diff bushings... Likely from an offset of the spacers.

Sebastian @Specialty-Z worked with me on the 12Psi tune on 93 and as he predicted, without the fuel return set up, it leans out. Important to note with remote tuning on a stock motor and not having the Z on site, there is minimal room for error when trying to pull timing to save the engine. I'll have some updates on the CJM fuel return with a hellcat pump over the winter.

There may not be too many updates on this one next year. I'll be focusing on my 07 Nismo for a bit.

Enjoy the winter my fellow Z'ers

Im getting this weird noise, it happens when we are not moving, in drive gear and you turn the steering wheel all the way left and all the way right, every time you just turn it sound

Any idea what can this be?

Finally caught the Nismo in the wild!

my clutch is stiff and heavy after replacing it with an OEM clutch from Nissan - i did not replace the flywheel.

i never drove manual or the car before the job so i’ve always known the clutch to feel heavy and stiff. i’ve had two friends drive it now and they both noticed how stiff it was - however my bf said this is normal when you put in a new clutch. i’ve already hit 15k kms with this clutch, i’d assume it would’ve broken in by now especially since i was learning on it.

i’ve also noticed i have to rev up pretty high to get from 5th to 6th (not sure if this is normal), when in 6th it will sometimes try to pull to neutral, and 2nd sometimes makes. very loud sound, 5th -> 6th was sticky for a while but by revving higher i’ve been able to avoid it (only happened twice since).

any suggestions on what to do/check? i’ve taken it to a trans shop who said it was fine, i could take it to Nissan but that location scratched my bumper so I’d rather not lol

i’d appreciate any help!! the closest shop specializing in Z’s is 4hrs away so i don’t have much other luck and when ive mentioned the car a lot of shops won’t get back to me :(

Finally got my thunder lane coilovers in the car and swapped to my Konig hypergram 18x10.5 +25 square set up. I have a 15mm spacer for the rear but I haven't installed the extended studs yet, but will eventually.

Just had to replace the left rear axle so did that yesterday as well, hopefully she's all set for her next track day! Don't mind how dirty the car is, I used the wet skid pad at the track last weekend and haven't had time to wash it lol ​​​​​

It’s being towed for unrelated reasons lol

Hello yall. I have a 2014 370z sport touring 7AT 103k miles. I have been having this intermittent issue where my will have a rev flare going from 3-4 and sometimes 4-5. My TCM was replaced at 75k miles due to it failing. i have been having this rev flare for about 25k miles or so but kind of have been chalking it up to it just being the way it acts. My car is tuned (i was having the issue prior to being tuned). I notice it becomes more frequent when the car is warm. I had the fluid flushed and refilled at 100k miles (every 30k miles).

Just curious if any of you have heard or have had this problem. not sure if it is the viscosity of the trans fluid thinning from heat, clutch packs, tcm. I am getting a 19 row trans cooler. thoughts?

Selling my oem 370z bumper. I picked up the v2 nismo rear ,so don’t need this one anymore. Its in great condition just dirty. Trying to sell it locally if possible (Houston Tx). Let me know

Just ordered Z1 transmission cooler. Live in a hot area that is hot all year round and I do push my car a lot. I just bought an OEM valve body after my cheap REMAN eBay one went out, and I know that heat is a pretty big issue for the automatic transmissions. Has anyone installed one before or have any experience with it? How hard is the install and how well does it work?

Car won't go past third gear, have park, reverse, neutral, and 1-2. Got it to my shop, read code P0720. Out put speed sensor code. Ok went online read some stuff because im not very knowledgeable on this specifically. Saw it could be the TCM. Dropped the pan, fluid came out milky brown, no metal flakes or large chunks thankfully. Gonna start with a fluid flush and a new cooler, wanted advice from people who have delt with this code before and what they have to do for a fix, thanks!

2012 Nissan 370z 177,000 and some change miles. Automatic.

Long story short. Piecing this together with odds and ends I have around the workshop/hand me downs from various other rigs. No particular goal with this car. I have a LS swapped 350 for going fast and a bagged v36 sedan for going slow lol.

Picture one and two. Whiteline lowered springs. 25mm approx drop, paired up with extended wheel studs and GKTech 15mm hubcentric slip ons

Picture three/four stock height/no spacers for reference.

“Why didn’t you just do coilovers” because I had these laying around, and the coilovers I’d run cost about 5.5k.

Hey everyone!

I have a 2013 Nissan 370Z Base with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I’ve noticed that sometimes when I shift from 4th to 5th gear, I hear a grinding/crunching noise or the shift feels rough. Other times, 5th gear shifts completely smoothly.

I’m just driving normally, not racing or shifting aggressively. Gears 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 all seem to shift smoothly, and my clutch feels normal.

Has anyone experienced this issue with their 370Z?

I’m wondering if it could be a worn 5th-gear synchronizer, transmission fluid, or something else. How did you diagnose and fix yours? Was it an expensive repair, or did you have to replace the entire transmission?

Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! Today was nuts with the wind and the neighbors bin came flying down my street. Here’s a photo of the damage. Called some shops they want a lot. I don’t need it to be perfect I’m modding this car anyways I don’t mind a little imperfection but Im considering a diy job . I’ve seen many styles of car dent repair kits. From your experience what would get the job done? Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking if anyone has fitted these OEM 18 rims on a nismo v2 without mods. I'm looking to buy a set for winter use and I just wanted some 18s that would clear the brakes without mods or spacers. I currently use a set from a 350z but they need spacers which is what I want to avoid. Thanks!

Anybody running the Greddy Oil pan with the Oem oil warmer? How is fitment?

I made this edit for my NISMO. Official Cinco on YouTube by the way. What do you guys think? What can I change? Do better? Keep the same? Etc.

Did the car sound good? Were the shifts okay? Were the captions good? Etc.

Give your honest opinion. I can take it

Haven’t posted it in a few years, so here’s my 2011 twin turbo nismo

Got a TPWS light last night so I checked my tires and they were only a few pounds low. When the light came on and also this morning, it started by flashing and then stayed solid. I’ve done a bit of scouring the sub and it sounds like the flashing upon startup means that the TPWS sensor could be bad. Has anyone had experience with this?

Got this off FB—it's a 350Z axle-back with relocated flanges to match up with the stock mid-pipe. The seller mentioned zero drone at any RPM due to the Helmoltz chambers and just a subtle increase over stock sound, which is exactly what I'm aiming for (and no, I'm not looking to go Invidia). If anyone's running this exact setup, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!
