Cool new Z owner in South Africa

Got a 2nd hand Z 3 months ago for drifting. Had a problem with CSC, fixed it. Now I'm trying to fix the trunk opening issue.

Still have fun with the car!

Welcome to the forums and congratz on the purchase of your Z!

Sadly the CSC and the Steering Column lock are items that both fail often on the 09-10 models of the Z sadly. Cool part is the CSC is the harder part to fix.

As for the Steering Column Lock, its a lot simpler:
