This is how it went down for anyony else who comes across this....
Reprogrammed both key fobs - (Not The Problem)
Replaced the Steering Lock Solenoid (Not The Problem) -Replaced Original Part..
Problem Part --> Turns out to be the "Steering Lock Assembly"Part# 48700-jf00d Priced from $542. - $622.
So I go hit with $887 Bill.. (2 Hours Labor, $622 Part + Tax)
12 Mo./12K Mile Warranty on parts and labor on the repair.
I think the dealer was fair for this repair. But for the love of repair service
you can get a Hip replacement in 5 hours!!!! 2 weeks just sucks!
They need to recall this part. - It happens on to many models.
I hope this helps any fellow Z owners!!!

I have the same issue with my car. I've been waiting for over a week for the steering lock assembly to come into the dealership after being on and off the phone with Nissan for over 3 weeks (I got lucky and Nissan will be paying for the parts and labor). And I totally agree with you, Nissan should recall this part. I cant wait for this headache to be over!!!!
