- This is my list of 5 things you should know before purchasing a 370z. Ive owned over 40+ cars and compiled a small list of things I believe are important to know if a 370z is on your radar.

Have a 2013 370z for about a year , have no blind spots , don't understand why people say that. The car sits so low that if you adjust your mirrors correctly you have no blind spots . You aren't supposed to turn your head all the way back to look out back window while driving anyways , that would be a major hazard .
Haven't owned 40+ cars but this is I believe my 24th car , some being sedans some suvs and surprisingly the 370z has less blind spots than any car I've driven .
EXACTLY!! I agree 100%. Just adjust and use your mirrors correctly and you will eliminate that issue.
@@zenthusiast4834 and even if you still can't see fully all you do is lean forward while looking at the mirror and problem solved

I bought a 2019 370Z base + sport pkg 6MT in the same color as your car, Magnetic black. I bought it new and paid about $33k for it. My sport pkg Z had the upgraded Bose 10-speaker audio with two subwoofers under the rear deck floor.
I broke the engine in very gently and did it over an extended distance, with the result that it appears to use no oil on the dipstick at the end of my 3k mile oil change intervals, using Nissan ester oil and an oversize Fram Ultra Synthetic filter. My average gas mileage was about 21 mpg, combined highway/city. I was able to get 36 mpg on level ground in 6th gear at 60mph on the highway.
Last year I had a Stillen long-tube cold air intake, a Fast Intentions x-pipe cat back exhaust and a dyno tune on Ecutek software. We went from 280 peak rear wheel horsepower to 321 hp on the Dynojet chassis dyno. this would be equivalent to about 380 peak hp at the crank. My mileage dropped down to about 18 mpg for city/high
way and 28 mpg on the highway in 6th gear. Hotchkis anti-roll bars on the front and rear with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2(240) tires improved handling nicely. Braided stainless steel brake lines firmed up the brake pedal. I'm currently in the process of installing a set of forged magnesium wheels from Litespeed Racing in LA. This will shave about 9 lbs from each of the corners over the OEM Ray's 9" x 19" - F, 10" x 19" - R forged aluminum wheels. The Michelin Pilot Sport tires are about 6 lbs lighter than the original OEM Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires that came on the car.
If you adjust the center and outside rear-view mirrors correctly you will have no blind spots in the adjacent lanes. The only blind spot is when you're backing out of an angle parking spot and want to see what traffic is coming. You can adjust the passenger seat's front/back position and seat back tilt to get a view out of the quarter window.
The z1 non-turbo package is a significant step up from stock performance but be wary of fuel pressure issues without upgraded fuel components.
Get a CSC delete clutch. The stock one can die anywhere from brand new to 10 years out.
Don’t pay a dealership to fix your steering wheel lock problem. Just pull the 10A fuse while the power is on. Look up the procedure, it’s easy.
Get an upgraded oil cooler as soon as possible. Your oil temp will drop from 220 degrees to below 180 degrees.
Don’t be cheap like me and get springs.m without shocks. My NISMO shocks are finally dead in front so now I had to buy BC True Coilovers.
The Tesla style screen might seem pricey but is 100% worth it!
The only thing I would add is when your tire gets in a rut/a long crack filler in the road it feels like it really pulls you in that direction more than most cars I’ve driven.
I haven't noticed that tendency.
That's mostly due to alignement, isn't ?
Have a fbo fully gutted e85 9th Gen si and I’m getting my 2010 Nissan 370 in about 15 days delivered im so anxious to start a new build
Mines had a recent alignment, but also pulls me around on uneven road. It's on stiff adjustable suspension though. My 350z never did it, just my 370
@@offgridas yup I’ve driven dozens of 370z at my work all of them fell that way and also a little light on their feet at 130+ almost like the front is lifting up a little
Appreciate the video!
Agree about the gas mileage..I had one for a rental over 4 days... on the highway,it said 23mpg but on mountain roads ect, im pretty sure it was getting what ur getting... I could see the guage drop so quickly as you drove it hard, you'd almost think ur tank had a hole in it! LOL. I never noticed the headrest issue ,probably becuz I dont drive with my head On the headrest... However, my lower back started really bothering me after a few hrs in the seat.. no adjustment would alieviate it.
Also gas mileage depends how hard you drive the car , I got sport touring with gps and nice seats and manual, I get 13mpg because I drive like an asshole 90% of the time , car is completely stock except billet fuel pump tophat . I also bought zspeed stage 2 quiet clutch with cmak delete kit , haven't installed yet hopefully this upcoming week my mechanic gets back into town.
My 2017 370Z does just what I want it to. Good speed and very good handling for an affordable price. Plus, it looks awesome. I do have some dings like the clutch. Overall I enjoy it.
We just got a 2014 sport touring manual in black cherry and it is a real hoot for us to drive every time. Wife has had 3 others and we REALLY dig these little scooters. Paid less than $17K for it. I agree with the weird seat angle as a tall dude myself.
We’re rocking the same setup! I just got the Z1 wheels in bronze for my black 2015 370z and love them!
Same!!! I have a 2012 with the bronze Z1 Wheels
If you've owned over 40 cars, you should know $10 blind spot mirrors fix any visibility issues.
Apparently, the headrest movement is an anti-whiplash safety feature... Active Head Restraints.
Hey, you said you’ve owned more than 40 cars, I’m wondering Why do you keep this 370 Z ? Would be nice to have your input
I have a 2018 370Z heritage 6sp stick same black color. It's my 3 season fun car here in the upper midwest. I have left it stock I prefer it that way and I have a factory 7/100 warranty. It shares my garage with 2 2019 Nissan Frontiers a ex cab and a crew cab. I have had great luck with Nissans.
My headrest does that too haha need to buy some new seats
refrubing one (manual) from salvage almost done sooo eager to get on the road!
You’ll have a blast, especially after putting in those wrench hours 🔧
Love the car , so sad the prices have just become increasingly stupid for what it is.
I already have a 370z. Im just checking your nissan out bro 😂
Appreciate you 🫶
Wish I could find some z friend in South Carolina Columbia
but this is a Lev 1. If you want to save, that's normal
Um I get 25 mpg in my 370z
I bought a 2020 brand new with 6 speed manual. Per the guage the overall mpg is 26. I drive good, bad and coast in neutral a lot. I think that’s pretty darn good.
When I can buy a classic porche for the same price things are getting out of control.
What is the difference between 350z and 370z ?
Id say main difference is 370z is more refined with more HP. It’s shorter and wider than the 350z.
I went from a 350z sport, which was fun because I drove it on the autobahn in Germany for a few years, to a V1 NISMO 370z. The performance is not even in the same ball park. A few upgrades on the 370z and it pulls hard on the top end. It’s definitely a road racing car.
.2 liters of engine displacement…plus some other goodies.
2 major things you need to know:
At night EVERYONE has their high beams on. Wear sunglasses.
Every pothole/speedbump/uneven road surface will make you uncomfortable.
Z has no blind spots! He just doesn’t know how to adjust his side view mirrors correctly.
You are 6’2”? That’s a lot of man
I dont know how anyone that large could comfortably fit in these Z cars..Im 5'7'' and i feel like the seat is a visegrip on my lats and the cockpit feels cramped... I can only imagine being 6'2'' in there!
@@skip741x3 it’s a Japanese sports car bro of course it’s gonna hug you.
