Z Looked Awesome on a Tow Truck (Sarcastic)

Yup, still looks good on a flatbed. Sorry to hear about another one. Time for a recall by Nissan for these locks on the Z.

Is the culprit: mileage, time, low battery power, or fill in blank?


I will state that this Z is most* aggressive looking 370 to date.

* to avoid fighting; top few at least.

The GTR recall for the same part blames it on "excessive oil within the ESCL" and the failure symptom is electo-mechanical in nature. The cause of failure is likely to be a combination of factors, one of which may be the cold weather and I suspect tension on the lock to be another. My 09 is up to 34,000 miles with a revision B and I have not yet encountered it.

That is the AM-Performance race car at Barber! It looks even better in person.
