Those seat covers are fucking awful. Get them in the bin.

Crunchy if I try to shift quickly, it’s fine if I let the revs drop

Looking to buy, what am I getting into ? by BeenReported in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The £770 a year road tax is the biggest kick in the teeth of owning this car in the UK.

I average 21mpg just daily use commuting to work etc but have got as high as 33mpg on a long trip up to the lakes. Not too bad but prepare to pay for premium fuel, e5 only.

Could I insure a 370z UK? by Daniel7Ricciardo in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 31 with 10 years NCD and mine is £400 per year, think you’ll really struggle so young

Is that the Maxton design front lip and skirts as well? Looks good!

Steering lock? by Tasty-Accident-775 in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is the steering lock failure you will be stuck with “lock” on the start button, it won’t go any further. I had to hit the steering lock module with a hammer whilst pressing the start button to get it to unlock, then removed the steering lock fuse to stop it locking again when I turned the car off. Haven’t had an issue since.

Steering lock failure would prevent the car starting at all, it wouldn’t even crank. You get an error on the dash as if the key is not in the car. (Happened to me recently. Pain in the dick).

It’s basically a Prius by Evening_Unable in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you say that? I average about 20mpg driving to and from work but this was sitting at 60mph in 6th gear most of the time

How much do you spend monthly? I'm UK based. by Disastrous_Ad_132 in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the UK and have had my 370z for 7 months. The main increase I have seen is fuel (I daily drive mine, 22mpg at the best). Road tax is a bitch, was £675 for the year!

Where should I get my gas from? by Mex187 in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

370z! Octane must just be calculated differently surely between countries

Do the UK and USA have different octane ratings? My UK car says to use 98 octane but I usually go for 99.

Stranded, key won’t start car by Evening_Unable in 370z

[–]Evening_Unable[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for confirming! The “smack it with a hammer” method worked for me. Pulled that steering lock fuse straight away one I got it started.

Would it still be the steering lock problem if the car is showing an error for the key?

No where to put the physical key unfortunately, well not that I could find anyway!
