Why Nissan 370Z Drivers Choose Scott's Auto
A 370Z is a sports car, and the way it's driven means it needs a mechanic who understands rear-drive performance work. Nissan dealers charge premium rates and rotate your Z through technicians you never meet. At Scott's, the same mechanic diagnoses and repairs your 370Z — and we treat clutch and brake work on a Z as the precision job it is.
Clutch Specialists for the Z34
Clutch replacement is one of our core services, and a 370Z clutch — especially on a hard-driven or NISMO car — is a job we know well. We use quality OEM-spec clutch kits and follow the correct break-in procedure.
We Respect a Performance Car
A 370Z isn't a commuter, and we don't treat it like one. We service the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain with the attention a rear-drive sports car deserves.
Honest Brake Work for Spirited Driving
Z owners drive their cars, and brakes wear accordingly. We give you a straight assessment of pad and rotor condition and use quality parts that hold up to canyon and track-day use.
Free Diagnosis on Every 370Z
We road test, scan for codes, and inspect your 370Z before recommending anything. You know what's wrong and what it costs before we start. No diagnostic fee.
When to Bring Your Nissan 370Z In
The 370Z is a robust sports car, but the way enthusiasts drive it concentrates wear on the clutch, brakes, and suspension. When a Z comes in, we road test it, scan for any stored codes, and inspect the drivetrain and chassis before recommending anything. The issues below are the ones that bring 370Z owners to our South Salt Lake shop most often.
Clutch Wear on the 6-Speed
The 370Z's 6-speed manual is a great gearbox, but spirited driving, canyon runs, and the occasional track day wear clutches faster than commuter use. Signs include slipping under hard acceleration, a high or grabby engagement point, or a burning smell after aggressive driving. We replace the clutch with a quality OEM-spec kit and inspect the hydraulics and flywheel.
Learn more →Brake Fade and Pad Wear
Z owners use their brakes hard, and the Wasatch canyons add long descents that heat them up. A soft pedal after repeated stops, squealing, or a pulsing pedal means it's time. We inspect pads and rotors and fit quality parts that resist fade under spirited driving.
Learn more →Grinding or Notchy Shifting
If the 370Z gearbox grinds going into a gear or feels notchy, it can point to worn synchros or a clutch that isn't fully disengaging. We diagnose whether it's a hydraulic issue, the clutch, or the transmission itself, and give you a straight answer before any work.
Learn more →Worn Suspension and Sloppy Handling
A sports car lives on its suspension. As the Z34's shocks and bushings age, the handling gets vague and the car wanders or floats over bumps. We inspect the struts, shocks, and bushings and replace what's worn to bring back the sharp, planted feel.
Learn more →Exhaust Leaks and Drone
Many 370Zs have aftermarket or aging exhaust systems, and Utah road salt corrodes hangers and joints over time. A new rattle, an exhaust leak, or excessive drone often means a corroded section or a loose connection. We inspect the full system and repair leaks.
Learn more →Check Engine Light — Sensor and Misfire Codes
As the VQ37VHR accumulates miles, it can set misfire codes from worn coils or plugs, and oxygen sensor codes as the exhaust ages. We scan for the stored codes, verify the genuine cause, and repair what actually failed so the light stays off.

Utah's temperature swings, mountain roads, and high altitude put unique demands on your vehicle. Here's what we've learned from years of servicing Nissan 370Zs in the Salt Lake Valley.
Brake fluid for canyon driving: if you take your 370Z up Big or Little Cottonwood, fresh brake fluid matters. Old fluid absorbs moisture and boils under repeated hard braking, causing a soft pedal. Flush the brake fluid every 2 years — sooner if you do track days.
Tire warm-up at altitude: cold tires offer far less grip, and Salt Lake mornings are cold. Give your 370Z's tires a few miles to warm before driving hard, and check pressures monthly — altitude and temperature swings move them more than you'd expect.
Winter storage and road salt: if you store your Z for the winter, change the oil before it sits and wash the underbody after any salted-road driving. Road salt corrodes exhaust hangers and brake hardware on a low car quickly.
