Don't think my 350z could have stuck with it on a twisty bit of road, the grip and drive out of corners is quite amazing The difference between 10 year old technology and a brand new car. 8) Well I think it would give a brand new 370 a run for its money to, guess we've all seen that video clip . Pr...

Seems a popular car, I had the yellow one for a weekend as well .
I think the most impressive thing about it was it handling and brakes .

2013 facelift

So have Nissan found money in the budget to finally fit an oil cooler? Does the new front direct some air to the brakes ?.

Hopefully lol

Re: 370z

Having had a 350z for awhile,I found that it did not have any issues,other than tyre noise. I now have a 370Z roadster,which is also running on Bridgestone tyres,the car is magic and quite a step up in terms of finish/better interior etc,and general level of usability ,however the tyre noise is sti...

Thanks for the tyre info , No haven't driven one, had a quick look at dealers , and like there looks . Never seen one on the road here in HB, 350z are pretty common though. Dealer had one that had never been sold to public or used as a demo, only used by Nissan executive apparently. Was manual 1600k...

Guess the other burning question is how much road noise do you get with the 370 , i never had a problem with the 350 but others used to comment on its noise lol

Most of the issues only come up when you are tracking the car ie under repeated heavy braking and acceleration. I've never got my oil temp to go very high at all (no where near the top of the dash gauge), even when playing with my car on the Napier Taupo road and a bunch of other windey hilly stuff...

370Z Oil and brake temps

Hi all , thinking of buying a 370 and have read lots of discussions on engine oil temp problems etc.
Has anybody experienced these issues ?
I see quite a few aftermarket oil coolers and brake vent kits, but find it rather annoying to have to install such things.

Thanks Paul
