Crack in the rear subframe

Was changing my rear rotors today and noticed what seems to be a crack on the subframe. The line is very fine, and it also exists on the other side in the same location. Anyone else noticed this on their car?

Wow, aluminum fracture. Was the car ever crashed? jacked up by the rear subframe behind that?

You could have it welded or something, but no way to know how deep that crack is.

No accidents nor was the car ever jacked up using the subframe. Im worried this crack might progress.

i would stop drill it with the smallest drill bit you can find, and welded together. And watch it so it doesn't keep cracking.

a few 350z guys has the same problem but they're all force induction. This is the first non - forced induction 350z/g35 i've heard that has it.

If this happens to a bunch of g35s/350z there should be a recall since it is a safety concern

or you could wait until it breaks then you can file a huge lawsuit against nissan
