My 2011 370Z has no acceleration power. If i step fully on the gas pedal I am only able to 2000 rpms.
Steering Lock was dropped sometime in 2011.
@@michaelkevinmoore8423 check your air-mass sensors if not check your break pedal, under that break pedal there is a small switch that switch when pressed sends a signal to the ECU to de accelarate so no matter how hard u step on gas pedal it won't give you much of power, I guess its the 2nd one ( break switch) I'd say its 98% that silly switch. It drove me crazy to figure this thing out!!
Slave Cylinder started on mine at 17k miles.
The CSC delete kit was the most expensive fix I've done😅
I still buy it I’m a heartbeat as soon as I get my money
Same!
same, did you get yours yet
Rear axle click. FINALLY solved!! Thank you! I thought it was brake pads moving or swaybar endlinks.

Help! Where did you buy the pieces?
@@diegogarnica171 i believe he mentions it is an aftermarket kawasaki part. A part # would be most helpful tho.
@@joshuafallet5690 You can find all part numbers on the370z.com, if you search for the axle clicking issue. I fixed mine a week or two and its amazing.
I've owned my 09 Sport/Touring 6MT 370z since 70k miles, October 2017. It's been an absolutely great "veericle" for me! Today, August 2021 I'm at 105k miles. I'm on stock cats and headers but have replaced the mid-pipe and muffler with the AAM S-Line Ti setup with blued tips. Sounds real throaty and damn good actually. I've heard a few with test pipes and I find them to be obnoxious!
I've also done the K&N Typhoon intake setup, I know not the best but I really didn't want to remove the front bumper AND have to be worried about driving in the rain. I've also replaced the rotors, brake fluid, pads and brake lines with the kit from Z1, drilled and slotted rotors look great on this car.
Still pretty bullet proof to me! Not many sports car are reliable as this one!

@@snail394 Agreed - Very reliable but not nearly the performance.
Our service manager has over 200k on his and it ain't babied.
@@snail394 got one, 04 gt 120k and no issue with the engine only needs a bearing replacement and its golden again
I own a 2010 40th Anniversary Edition and never have a problem. Bullet proof and super fun
I had the steering lock issue. They fixed it via a recall the first time but then it happened again 4 years later. I ended up hitting the silver box under the steering wheel with a small rubber mallot while spamming the start button and it started up. Then I ran to the fuse box and pulled the fuse that actuates that solenoid out so it never locks again. Had no issues since but it does allow you to turn the steering wheel while the car is off. Worth it since the dealer wanted $1,250 to fix.
Dude - you missed the biggest one ! (at least for 09-13 & HR's) The dreaded oil gallery gasket. You can loose your engine pretty easily without replacing this with a proper metal gasket with torqable counter sunk screws. Ask me how I know.
we need more videos like this. these info are usually reserved for long time hardcore owners. i know there are forums but you have to admit a lot of the info is misleading. all of these info seems to be from professionals not back yard mechanics with a laptop.
+jayson fernandez Thanks for the feedback!
Very informative video about this "veericle"
Had a 2011 sports package, Nissan took care of the slave cylinder free of cost.
Never had any other issues ~ at all.
I ran synthetic Synthetic/ Mobile-1 oil, NOT the ester oil. Nissan-Z specialist recommended it right when I bought it. Never had any ticking noises, or oil consumption issues.
I drove the car as my daily for 130k miles, trouble free except for the slave cylinder, 6 hours back on the road.
I miss that car.
well done video. I've been a 370z owner for ffour years. you covered all the issues I've heard of from other guys and a few other little tips I wasn't even aware of. subbed and hit the bell for notifications.
The more 370z videos I watch the more I cant wait to go pick mine up today after work. I get off at 2 and dang this is the longest wait I've ever had lol
This is a great video, love how clear and informative it is. I've done some very basic service on my G35 and can relate to some of these issues :) Please keep doing these vids. Hopefully there's be one here for my next car :D

Great Video this guy is a true gear head he really knows about cars. Keep the videos coming!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for making this vid. Great respect from Australia.
Great video on the 370Z, I'm looking at one now to purchased and wanted to know what issues to look for. Thanks
Well done for not recommending the fuse-pull option 👏🏼 Cost me £800 in the UK as the Nissan free replacement is a one-shot 🙄
Better than disabling the very capable NATS designed to disable your Z if someone tries to have it 😉
Has anyone ever had a 370Z successfully stolen?
Most informative video on the Z with solutions. Thanks!
+AhYung Rocks Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Ya killer video dude alot of good information for 370s
A sportscar with an unbaffled fuel tank, wtf?
Honestly I have a 2012 model and never experience any problem. But very informative thank you
Very insightful. Have you perhaps done any similar review for the audi rs4/6 ?
This guy's jazz hands are phenomenal.
Awesome video, thank you! you guys are my go to whenever im looking into another vehicle to aquire
very informative and straight to the point, no useless chit chat

Nice video. But I'm really surprised you didn't talk about the following:
- Engine oil overheating
- Brakes overheating and fading
- Takata airbag replacement
- Rear hatch not popping open properly
What does it cause of ever heating
@@dailypovs7800 what is takata airbag replacement
excellent, informative and concise communication w/o needless joking, going off on tangents, etc. Well done.
+K S Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Didn’t know the HR motors had oil consumption, great video
Great video. My low mileage 2011 sport 7AT had the axle click. It is an actual TSB with Nissan. I griped enough to have that fixed free. I also removed the ESL fuse several years ago. ( Personally best way to avoid the $1500 fee the dealer will charge when it does fail) (since my Z is a custom that stays in the garage, I wasn't worried about the security aspects) You are also correct on the fuel starve. Keep that fuel past 1/2 tank and you're good. Thanks again for the informative video!
+farmyfarm Thanks for checking us out!
Very good and important information. Thank you for posting.
You can make a video like this about Every auto ever made!
Great video and explanation of main faults. How Nissan let the Slave Cylinder be plastic and be rubbish for 350Z and 370Z I do not know. Would love to see this for GT86 please.
Is the oil consumption because of the galley gasket going bad?
What year did they correct this issue?
I always floor it at stop lights to where the car really comes alive like the S2000 where the growl comes in
are these issues with all the z cars, including the latest nismo range ie: 2015 upwards? thanks
2:19what grease do you use? I have the problem of that noise 2 months ago
No recall in Australia for the steering lock unfortunately. To save money I worked out it's an earth issue, simply create another wire hooked up to a rocker switch and connect to the main earth point on the driver side closest to door. A simple flick of the switch will fix the circuit and allow you to start your vehicle everytime. My earth wire I fitted connects into the plug where the pink wire is if your not sure.
I own 2007 G35S and 2010 M35X for 11 and 9 years each.(They were used when bought) Both have none of the problems mentioned here. Both are still super reliable now...
Generally speaking, I think this is an excellent video
This really, really isn't meant to be demeaning, but after watching 2 or 3 of your videos I have noticed that whenever you get behind the wheel the TOP of your shoulder is entirely below the glass in the side window. I don't own a new car but I am thinking of buying one, are the seats getting lower? The windows getting smaller? Or is this down to camera angles?
K.. don't come at me.. it's because of CA bay area traffic..
1) can I get around problem #1(CSC) by opting for the paddle shifters instead of manual?
Thats likely to be the only issue I would have with a 370z. My GTI had that issue. I replaced the master & slave and everything that came with the kits.. and it was a pain in the a$$.
Great video. Very informative.
Thank you I unfortunately for the 2nd time had the issue with the CSC yesterday, luckily all the work was through the dealership so I'm hoping they will warranty the work since it was fixed 3500 miles ago..
Haven't had any of these issues in my g37 as of yet (hopefully stays that way) but always good to watch out for stuff like this.
I know there are some other small issues but honestly most of these are pretty minor for this platform.
+BigHeadClan Thanks for the feedback!
Bullet proof to me own 09 nissan 370z 84k miles only oil change brakes and battery that's it wow what a reliable car I love itt!! Just got a baby and I don't want to sell it!!
Can you go over possible causes of why my cruise control is not engaging? Light comes on for cruise I have tried pulling up on the brake and trying to set cruise thinking it may be switch with no luck. What else could it be?
Before owning a car, most of the times people should not jump into conclusions about it (regarding if it's a good or a bad vehicle) and without owning it, the best thing a person can do is watch such a video with the issues.
... because issues come with time, it's better to be prepared.
So what model year do you suggest to avoid most of these problems?
Thanks for those tips man..!
Watched this for fun, but my daily 2010 is a work horse. Love this car.
honestly ive had my 370 for about 2 and a half years now, had nothing wrong with it besides a crappy battery as long as you maintain upkeep u should have no problems unless u bought a lemon
MY BROTHER BOUGHT A NEW 2020 370Z THE DRIVERS LIGHTS DID NOT WORK MARKS ON DASH WINDOWS FAILED WITHIN A WEEK THE CPU FAILED BUYING A NISSAN HE MUST BE VERY UNLUCKY TO GET THIS ONE ! OR IS THIS NORMAL
I am SO happy to find this video. I have had my 370 for 6 yrs now, and every time I go in for maintenance, I ask them about the rear clicking, they claim they never hear it. I would like to know what the correct Kawasaki replacement part number is. Liked and Subbed!!!!
I got you bro! Found this on the 370 forums
"Kawasaki axle nut (yes, seriously). Part number 92210-0280. They're about $15 each from your local Kawasaki dealer."
Curious if red lock tight on the original nut would solve this issue? 🤔
@@nyreppin1 So any kawasaki sells these axle nuts? When I buy the 370z I will definitely replace these immediately
“Vehircle” you have a accent where you from brotha
The clutch issue is something I have been dealing with my g37 as well
I drive my hard in some days but overall just wear and tear from parts getting old. Pretty reliable too me
Great AND Helpful Thank You.
Problems With Solutions " now that is novel !"
Like the wing, might get it for my Z. Any info on which brand/model it is?
Did you ever figure it out??
Great video. Thanks 👍
It seems like you casually mentioned the block may need replacing if you burn oil. Does this engine have that happen often?
Great information. I’m looking at a used 370Z roadster 7AT so I suppose I can disregard the first issue.
+Lmagee010 Thanks for checking us out!
Im trying to decide between the G37S & A 370Z with the auto transmission i hate stick shift cars
@@kxngearner698 if you want to track and auto cross get the 370z but if you want to actually daily drive and actually use the car lol get the g37s. Only like a 200 pound difference with a wayyy better interior in my opinion
@@kxngearner698 definitely DO NOT buy a 370z in Automatic. U might look at a Genesis coupe instead.
C Alcock why??
I’m enjoying the top problems of different vehicles
I have a 2017 370z and I was told the newer models didnt have the ESCL issue but I seem to have run into this problem. I searched for the part on 1A but nothing came up for my model year.
I replaced the steering wheel lock last week in my 09. I pulled the fuse 1.5 years ago after having issues and it started malfunctioning again even with the fuse removed. Bought the part for $400 and did the labor myself. Read the dealer can charge over $1000 to do it. Got the part from an auto oarts store and it mentioned in the description that it had an improved design to help prevent the same issue from happening in the future. Also came with a device to reprogram keys which was kind of a lengthy process but not hard
Link to part?
This can also be applied to the 07+ 350z HR.
Without a doubt the best value sportscar ever. I have two... Thinking of buying a third..
I'm shocked at how few problems these cars have!
is the rear axle clicking a major issue? or is it okay with daily driving. will this cause other components to work harder thus causing more wear/tear down the line? thank you so much. stock 15 nismo here
+Tahkye Noysavanh Thanks for watching! If the rear axle is clicking then the axle could be on its way out. You will want to get it address as soon as you can.
Ive noticed mine uses about a half a quart every 3,500 miles. No leaks or smoke. Just uses it. I read in the spec sheet from Nissan that its normal for up to a quart every 3,000 miles.
Yep, my csc went out on me already too. Also replaced steering lock. It all failed.
Thinking about buying 2010 370z model. Thanks for the issue insights. Are they really that bad at consuming oil?
+rrusselljr67 There are many online forums discussing the 2010 models and lower having bad oil consumption. You should check these out before purchasing. Thanks for watching.
Also over heating problem with the oil. Buy 2014 or after
That was the manliest "thanks" at the end I've ever seen. Like the cop from the Village People, manly. 🤣. Anyways, love the vid! Thanks!!!
Funny you say that. I got the feeling he was somewhat gayish or just overly in love with 370Z's.
Nice video. I'm looking at an Automatic 2009 370z with 279k miles. All is great with the vehicle but I am a bit concerned with the high mileage and it being an auto
Has there been a difference in quality since Seat merged with Nissan?
Pretty light problems compared to other cars lol. Made the right choice 😁😍. Just got my Z in July/August
replacing the engine is a small problem? u r weird.
350z had almost the same issues...nice cars but cheap made,GREAT INFORMATION THE BEST ON UA-cam
+Jnagime Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Do these same issues plague its Infiniti G cousins?
Hello
I have 2013 370 z
I replaced the tires sensor
And then all the lights showed up on the dashboard
I toke it to orally to check it I got code p0500
Please if you can help me fix that problem
Yep!!! The steering column just happened on my car!! Two weeks later the radiator filled internally… leaked radiator fluid right into my transmission…. Any idea why my 370 Z touring radiator failed? All Happened around 104,000 miles / automatic.
very useful. Thanks!!
Great video
Is there a way to turn off the fake engine/exhaust noise? I think it's called the ANC or something like that..
Drift king Len
That Thing is Called a Castle Nut Crown 👑 lol
Does this go for the non coupe models too?
Yep! Sounds like ALL the problems the early and late gen 350z had 😂😂 I love my 07 manual cant complain the CSC is definitely a common thing.
You still having Csc issues
Just waiting until my clutch needs replaced then I'll do the CSC at the same time. Hadn't heard of the rear axel click issue.
I have a 2019 6MT base with the sport package that has about 30k miles on it. I flush all of the driveline gear oils and the hydraulic fluids at one half of the Nissan recommended mileage intervals, plus I flushed the engine coolant at 30k miles. I'm having no problems at all with the car.
How much difference in performance does a 1/2 or less full tank make.
CSC and oil gallery gasket are the two biggest issues. Both are very expensive repairs and almost guaranteed to have the CSC go before 30k miles. Great job guys!
+Blake Swan Thanks for the feedback!
So on every single 370Z the CSC goes out before 30,000 miles?
Uh, what's an oil gallery gasket?
@@DarthVader-1701 These were more of an issue with models before 2013 but still hear about them from time to time. I made sure my CSC was already replaced before I purchased my second one.
James N mainly the 09-14 z’s have that problem, it can still happen in the newer ones but less likely than the older ones.
I had a 2010 the steering column lock was under recall and it was replaced by the dealership at no charge but never had no other issues with the car and I drove it extremely hard mine did have a 7 speed Auto
Did you replace it within the window of your warranty?
I've got a 2012 which I bought brand new. I just had the steering lock issue around the middle of last year (****ing 2020!😛). They never actually recalled that part here in Australia so I was looking down the barrel of a bit over AU$2900 (just for the part, labour was going to push that to nearly AU$3200). Lucky for me that I didn't just pay it, I took it up with Nissan Australia head office and the guy from the service department at the dealer backed me up. In the end, they agreed to cover most of the cost, I paid just under AU$200. I was pretty happy with the outcome, given that the car was 8 years old and well out of warranty. Although it's disappointing that they only recalled it in some markets and not others, considering its the same part.
Other than that, I've not had a single problem with it - that was the only time the car has ever been off the road for anything except the scheduled servicing. I love this car, looking forward to trying out the new one.
In the process of buying a 2015 370z nismo it’s my first 370 so trying to see what all to be prepared for
Why would anyone buy a car with so much hidden problems? O ya I forgot ....it’s still better than an American made car.
I test drove a 2020 with 1k miles. It's complete trash. Cheaply made.
My Mustang never ever broke, My 370z needed many fixes. I love both of them. This is a statement from a person that doesn't know cars, just the line of crap daddy told them.
all cars have problems hidden or not
@@ChuukeseStink Lots of squeaks and rattles?
well said i've had 2 mustangs and 2 370s and 1 350, the nissans were tanks with 1 minor issue between the 3 of them, 1 mustang was bought back for lemon law and the other one had miscellaneous issues I've never encountered in another car
You should of also talked about the transmission noises it makes for the 6 speed manual.
I have a 6MT in my 2019 sport coupe but haven't noticed any noises from the transmission. I did do an early fluid change at 5K miles and put in some Redline MT-85 gear oil, plus I gently broke the engine and drivetrain in over the first 1500 miles.
There is a kit to convert the CSC to a regular fork/external slave setup.
I have a 2019 370Z 6MT with the sport package that I bought new and that now has about 28K miles. I haven't had any problems with it at all but I am very diligent about the maintenance and only use the highest quality parts and fluids in it. I flush the fluids at least twice as frequently as Nissan recommends and am using a higher DOT(4 or 5,1) hydraulic fluid in the clutch master cylinder.
30k mile update:
I flushed all the driveline oils, hydraulic fluids and engine coolant - no leaks or anything abnormal noticed
There is no discernable oil consumption on the dipstick level at the 3k mile oil change intervals.
The polished bright metal exhaust tips show hardly any soot buildup inside the pipes.
@@videomaniac108 any updates on this? I'm thinking of a used one but a new one sounds pretty tempting since they seem to last a long time for a sports car
My sensor says " maintenance filter service " I change my filter my self the sensor still in there... what should I do... nissan 370z sports cope... thank you sir.@@
got my 09 with 140k for 8.5k ..and its the most solid car ive ever owned i. in love...i got the auto an im happy i did cuz most the problems are with the autos...my clutch feels stout af an its probly got 140k on it
hat about the oil overheating issue?
it seems to be quite common with the 370z.
I know that now there is aftermarket parts that can help you with that, but thats about it.
I had a 1988 300zx T-tops. Best car I've ever had.
Does Z1's CSC Elimination kit help with the first problem?
Yes it does
Go zspeed
Fantastic video. Nissan should replace the axle hubs with the Kawasaki part before they sell the car.
+John Satariano Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I used to have a 2009 370Z for 2 years and out of all those problems, I never had anything of them except the CSC going bad.
I've been blessed with my 2010 none of these issues and I put my car to work, daily driving it on the highway lots of messing around. I only have cosmetic issues like the back of my hatch right on top the paint is somehow fading but the rest of the car is fine. (Nissan paint is shit in old cars)
Second issue I just got was when I start my car if it doesn't start the first time I have to wait 3 mins then I press the button again. It's probably just a wire issue. The OEM brakes are just so bad I'm at 75% but the pads are smooth af already lol
I'm telling you right now, look up how to remove the steering wheel lock fuse. Do it before the problem actually happens. My only symptom was the "key" light turned on. 2days later it wouldn't start, not even when inserted.
I had to "hotwire" my car to get it to turn on and remove the fuse.
