Thanks glrnet, I've had a look today and all the latch loop and latch mechanism seems still bolted down tight. I've been reading the threads about the boot release spring issues, Which also was a problem, I've attached some small pieces of rubber pads i had to the end of the springs and the 2 rubber bungs by the latch loop and it seems to have cured both the loose tailgate and now it opens on just 1 push of the release button.

Was out yesterday in my 2012 370z when i went over some bumps in the road and i heard a rattle from the back of the car. When i got home i noticed that the boot looked shut but if i pushed down on it there was movement, Only moves down about 2 or 3 cm's so tried shutting it a bit harder but still the same, Having looked on here and read about the boot release spring, which also I've noticed it does take 2 pushes of the button to open, but this seems a different issue, Is there any adjustment in the boot locking latch mechanism ?

Really nice looking Zed Chris. Nice mods too ðŸ‘

Hiya guys, I've been reading about Coyoteboy's side swipe/hit and run incident and its got me thinking a dash cam may be a good idea to get. What dash cams do you guys have or rate as being good ? I would prefer a smaller less obvious dash cam that could be left set up permanently, preferably with out a screen as they seem to be big and bulky, My Zed has the sat nav screen with reversing camera and aux video plug in the centre box if that can be used to veiw any dash cam footage.

Hiya NismoTom and nice choice of car, Can't really offer much advice on deals on a new Nismo as i don't own one, But when i was looking for a 370z i popped into Colliers, Warwick rd, Birmingham who have a new white Nismo demo may be worth contacting them to see what kind of deal they can offer.

I'm not doubting the authenticity of an Auto Express test, and I've never driven a 2.3 Mustang or a 350Z BUT, When ever i watch or read these car tests and reviews there only giving their opinions, fill a room with 50 so called experts and you will get 50 different opinions. For me a 370z gives a big bang for a reasonable ammount of money, Yes there's faster and better but probably at alot more money.

Damn !! I only bought my 370z so i could post on here, 😆😆

I've not had my 370z long but I'm loving it, puts a smile on my face when i climb in it to go anywhere, Any car what ever the make or model can have issues, i wouldn't let a bad experience with a 350Z put you off.

Thanks KyleR that worked, Ignition on engine off.

I've owned my 370z a couple of weeks now and all is going well, Just got a couple of questions that hopefully you guys can help with, My Zed has the sat nav/phone and single cd player option, Up to now when I've been setting these up or sorting out the memory options I've had the engine running is there away of having the ignition on or powering the sat nav and stereo with out running the engine. Also in the centre console box there's a round power plug in, a USB port and 3 small round coloured plug ins, I'm guessing that the 3 small round coloured plug ins are perhaps a dvd plug in option. I have an android phone and I've tried plugging it in the USB port to either download or play my music but its not recognising my phone, Is there an AUX plug I've not found yet or any other way of downloading music into the memorybox apart from off a cd. Thanks

Thanks Guys, No plans at the moment Mattross, I've spent years modifying my Jeep thats got to go now to make space for the Zed, So I'm going to have a break from spending most of my weekends under my car with the spanners.

Picked up my 370z today, A 2012 auto in pearlescent blue, In Immaculate condition with 20k miles on the clock, full Nissan Service History, reversing camera and they put 12 months mot on it, 1 word to sum it up would be "AWESOME" A quick picture on the drive after getting her home.

Nice 1 Tuck, Sounds like you got yourself a good deal, Look forward to seeing the pics once you've picked her up.

Very true Tuck, I've found out the hard way a couple of times its a of a leap of faith when you buy a 2nd hand car, Was the 2011 silver 370z at Nissan Perth that you've gone for or another.

From a dealer, Not a main dealer but found an immaculate 12 plate from a 2nd hand dealer who sells top end cars, It was a lot of money to me but it was one of their cheaper cars, They were selling £80/90k 2nd hand cars like Audi R8's and Porsche's. In my experience private dealers are far easier to deal with and will sort things out on the car once the money has been handed over. My question is why walk away from the 2011 plate with low miles, because it had 4 previous owners or that it was scuffed etc? A bit of both Tuck, I could have accepted the ammount of owners if the car was immaculate, There was 3 areas of damage on the paintwork that the dealer was going to get touched up, plus a few scuffs inside, Personally i think the dealer should have sorted any damage then advertised it. Ioneabee i will give details once i got her, i would hate to jinx anything.

Finally found a 370z and put a deposit down, Its going to be a long 7 days till i pick her up next Saturday, Went to see 1 at a main dealership so they were asking top money for it which had scuffs everywhere, which the salesman kept saying we will sort that for you, But what really put me off was it was a low mileage 2011 that had 3 previous owners plus the guy who had part ex'd it, so i would have been its 5th owner in 5 years. Obviously i walked away from that 1, I will post some pics up next week when I've picked her up.

Ok Coldel, I will try that, Thanks

Lol ������ That doesn't sound good Ekona.

Hiya, I'm just sorting out my finances and waiting for some time off work then i can properly get down to looking for a 370z, It seems on Autotrader and the like, that Juction 17 cars have half the 370z's for sale in the country, Has anyone had any experience of buying from them either good or bad. Thanks.

Nice one smoking gun, Sounds like a far better buy now with some previous servicing history í ½í±

I think you made the right choice giving that 370z a miss, Personally its servicing history would have put me off, if the current owner can't tell you much about its history and Nissan last saw it in 2012 does that mean it may not have had an oil and filter change for nearly 4 years, It does my head in when people will spend 20-30k on a car then scrimp on paying out a few hundred quit to give the poor thing a service once a year. I'm in the same boat as you smoking gun having to play the waiting game before i can get a 370z, Unfortunately i work away alot so I've got to wait for some time off.

Very nice Vinny

I do love the Wranglers, especially the newer shaped ones. Saw some just like yours in Canada but the LWB versions, just a shame they are so damn expensive! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That would have been a TJU model you saw in Canada Jonty, I've owned the newer shape it was a top of the range swb petrol version called a JK Rubicon on a 2009 plate and it leaked like a sieve when it rained, so i got rid of it and went back to an older TJ model. All Wranglers hold there money really well even a 2007 diesel JK costs over £10k, The downside is all JK'S since they were launched in 2007 have a 50/50 chance of leaking when it rains, its a design fault on the door seals Jeep could never bother to rectify, Hence why i won't be spending in the region of 20+k on another but instead looking at buying a 370z.

For me the coolest 4x4 would have to be my 2004 lifted 4.0L Jeep Wrangler fitted with 33in tyres, Which will soon be on the market as I'm looking at going the other way from 4x4 to a 370z.
