i foresee nissan using the same springlift only possibly designating a different part number to be reflected in a TSB for the 370z's...
Had a call from my service mgr today and he said those exact words. He agrees the longer spring was for a 350 and that he fully expects Nissan to list them as a fix for this problem but under a different part number. He has no idea how long it will take but he feels sure it will be soon. In the meantime they plan to install the longer spring on my Z and just write them off. Only problem is down the road there will be no record on the VIN about the change and if there is lift or hinge failure there could be a problem. I've agreed to wait a week to see if the area rep comes up with something. It's like the engineers didn't think something this small and obscure through very well. My guy actually said if Nissan doesn't come thru soon he would go with the 3 penny fix...can you believe that?
