That is an interesting attachment.
My '11 was built in July of 2011. I'd read about the infamous steering wheel lock problems here many times, but I figured that my Z was late enough to not be affected. I thought it was just a problem with 2009-2010's. But my VIN is a hundred or so within the affected range on that PDF.
But curiously, I'm pretty sure I do not have a steering lock. There are no noises or clicks from the steering column when I start/stop the engine. And I'm pretty sure that the wheel can be turned when the car is off. I'll have to check at lunch. I bought it new, and I haven't disabled anything.
I'll take another look at the excellent write-ups that are over on the DIY thread and see what I've got going on under my dash. (
