Replying to: raidersix2002 (Oct 05, 2007 8:35 pm) I own a 2003 Touring coupe, it now has 24,000 miles at the end of 2007. I baby the car and I don't drive it that much. I recently started to notice that the front tire rumbling is getting worse and that's when I did some research and here I am. NissanUSA is not going to do ANYTHING about it, probably due to the fact my Z is a 2003 and my warranty period is up. There is no reasoning with NissanUSA regarding the fact this is a mileage issue and not a time lapse issue. AND they've already adjusted the front end and put new tires on at 4000 miles, which eludes to the fact this is a recurring problem. This is obviously an inherent defect in manufacturing/design of their so called "Company Car". So what's a loyal Nissan customer to do? Live with the problem that gives off loud thumping noise that goes "wah wah wah wah wah wah" and makes me want to pound my own head? Is it logical to spend $500 for two new front tires at every 3rd oil change? This is not right, there must be something that can be done. As far as I'm concerned Nissan has sold me a lemon. |

Hi, My 2005 continues to wear front tires. Tthe dealer they replaced the tires and within a few hundred miles the right front tire had visible "cupping" and the tires made terrible noise. The dealer changed the tires yet again, The noise is gone, however I'm sure the tires will wear again. Will the Stillen aftermarket A-frame fix the tire wear? The camber on left front tire is -1.0, whereas the right is -1.3. As you know the camber is not adjustable on this vehicle. Thanks.

I was told that it was break dust that stained the rims due to lack of clear coat!

I just bought a used 03' touring edition, amazing machine the 350Z is. I bought it from an Acura dealership, a few days ago i was looking at the exhaust pipes and i notice the right pipe is extended a little further than the left pipe i mean at first i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me then i had my friend look and he said the same thing, is it suppose to be like that? b/c before i bought my Z i saw a Z parked and i was checking it out and i noticed it on that Z too, so can anyone tell me are the pipes suppose to be like that? i was shown the carfacts report and my Z hasnt been in any accidents or had any problems whatsoever if anyone can let me know that would be great! |

I just had my car in yesterday for what I thought would be a routine oil change and state inspection, and I'm going to end up paying several hundred dollars for new rear tires! He said they couldn't pass inspection because there is 3/32" left of tread - I looked up the state site and it calls for replacement when there is 2/32" left. I only have 11,000 miles on the car (got in in April of '06, don't drive it in winter, use it for pleasure trips only, no commuting. So it doesn't get heavy wear. To add insult to injury, when I bought the car, the dealer threw in, "to make the deal," a policy that guaranteed free tires at 25,000 miles if I did all my service at the dealership. Which I have done, but now the dealer is claiming these tires need to be replaced already. And of course he's not going to give me new tires, but he finally agreed to give me 10% off. Tires were Michelin Sport Pilots. Does this sound reasonable? Is it time to change dealers? Up until now we've been satisfied with their service but I'm really annoyed right now.

| My rear tires need to be replaced and I am considering putting on Goodyear F1 All Season Tires. The front tires are Potenza 040's. Will the F1's work okay with the Potenza's? | |
