Hi,
I'm really hoping that you can help me out here big time. I have had the steering lock issue which I temp fixed by tapping it. I decided to change my car for a newer one due to the warrantee expiring in Nov 12 as I have been worried about it happening again. I just can't believe my luck as I'm supposed to be going to the garage tomorrow to drop the 370z off as a PX to collect my new car. Gone to turn the car on this morning and it is dead! The tapping hasn't worked this time and I'm completely gutted as I won't be collecting my new car tomorrow unless I get it going. If I can get it going, ill remove the steering lock fuse (only just read about that trick!!!!) I am based in the UK with a late 2009 370z Reg: L2 PPJ

Dreaded Steering lock

Hi from the other side of the pond

I have a 09 plate stuck at a Nissan main dealer and they want approx $1200 just for the lock.

I have read how to make it safe when it works, but could you mail me how to dismantle etc. My plan is to tell Nissan to remove the lock then tow it home and sort it

Thanks

Jim

good job finding the steering lock kill brown wire! great work. hope you keep up the great work and share with us on future finds.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. The CSC has been replaced several months ago at a cost of $900.00, and the lines have been bled, but from time to time the clutch still sticks at the bottom and does...

Don't worry op you aren't the only one who isnt a nissan fan.I will never get into a Nissan again. I will always tell people to get a Honda or toyota instead, even Mazda now.

Honda and Toyota are in another league when it comes to quality , build, resale value . A couple issues on their part is nothing compared to Nissan bs.

:tup: That's how I'm running it: No spring. Def. a better difference.

I know this is an old thread, but it deserves a re.read. Removing the spring is THE best mod ever. I,ve been driving stick shift since 1970 and never had the crazy lurching as with the Z. Spring...

Both sides are gaining something, though, so I don't feel the situations are even closely related. The Z34 has almost run its course, so you're going to see a lot more of this in the coming years.

Its all your fault, baer! :mad: :icon17:

Now that it has been confirmed that this is a half assed recall, I know I will have no need to bring my car into the dealer for it. Also btw, from what I remember not one revision is safe, they have...

Because I still like the car and like to see what people do with them. You don't want me here dad? It's cool, I'll leave.
