A Nissan dealer replaced my hatch springs yesterday, and they work almost too well, lol. I'll post pics and part numbers Friday when I have some free time (and am not at work.) They are at least an inch longer than the factory ones, and do a damned good job of popping the hatch. I actually think that once they are a little more broken in they will rest a smidge lower, but it's not too bad. I think 1/16 to 1/8" is all the gap is off by, it still lines up with the rear bumper pretty well.

The dealer handled this under warranty, even though I didn't purchase the car from them. They had to order the part, and do the replacement (I couldn't just pick up the parts.) I showed them the image of the new part, and they were aware of the 350Z TSB for the same issue. Hopefully everyone else will have good luck with this as well. Like I said, I'll be posting part numbers and images later. I may scan my invoice also so you guys can show the dealer you bring your cars to, it may help things along until there's an official TSB.
