370Z Bloopers

NissanGuy23 · 11-22-2013, 08:17 AM

29. Getting out of the 370z, push open the door, it swings back and smacks into you and the stuff your holding before you can get out. Also, people wont realize how little effort it takes to close the door, so when they push it closed they use too much force and slam it. Also, when you get used to the small effort required to close the door, you fail to close Ford Explorer doors on the first two tries.

30. Hatch wont open with one press of the button, have to put your stuff down and use two hands to double press the button

Agreed on the first.

The second one...

Mine opens with one touch. Then I just pull up on it...

Am I misunderstanding?

This typically only happens to me when it's cold out. Since you're in Fee-niks you probably don't see cold temps that often.

I think this issue effects only some Z's. My Z freinds in the area have the issue. Possible solution is removing the 2.5lb weight from the hatch / getting new springs. But mine does it hot or cold

As far as the clock goes - isn't it daylight savings time which sends it out of wack?

Agree! I hate it when going from the Z with light doors, to my Bimmer with heavy arse doors. Those things will slam shut on your leg if you are not careful.

Yes to both of these! I learned that if you are quick enough while pushing the button, you can still grab the hatch with one hand. Nissan is loling so hard right now cause "dumb Fat American has no speed like Japanese samurai."

Most of the time I can press the button a second time and the hatch will fully release so I can lift it with one hand. ymmv

That's cool that a couple pennies per side fixes the problem. It hadn't ever bothered me that much to look for a solution but I may go ahead and do it now that I know there is one. That said, I'm curious to see if the hatch falls on my head this winter, like my 350Z did, or if it will stay up like it's supposed to...lol.

Id rather directly fix the problem rather than have coins sitting in my hatch all ghetto style, the other option is pay $60 for springs. Im going to remove the weight from the hatch and see if that helps

I yell at my GF for slamming mine all the time. She is used to her VW Beetle, which requires Mr. Olympia bodybuilding style strength to shut.

So much of this.

My gf used to slam the door all the time and get yelled at for it. She's finally caught on now though. The hatch thing is such a nuisance. It'd be nice if it at least sprung up like an inch so you could actually open it with one hand.

Seriously though. Have you ever felt a mustang door?? Holy heavy! if you park on an incline and the door swings toward you, you have to be a body builder to open it!
