2012 here with the same annoying issue. Took him in last week and they ordered the part per the tsb. Hopefully no more issues after install.

I never had the problem on my 2011 sport, but on my 2011 Nismo yes.

Took the Nismo in and they showed them the problem, but they said that it was my sub box. My sub box? You push the button the truck does not open all the way and the hatch shakes going over bumps don't know how that is related a secured sub box.

Now I have to take it in again and show them this TSB. I think my sport had the new springs because I can shake my rear up and down on the Nismo and I can't on the sport.

Can't believe they could not see the problem or eve look for the TSB to fix it. I have an exhaust leak now so I will take it in again and get a loner for the day.

You need a new dealershit...
All 2011's should have the new springs. The Nismos DO/should also have clear rubber bumpers/feet where the spring closes. (It will be located on the car, not the springs)

Try this:
DIY: Weight reduction/Fix hatch not opening issue

To be 100% honest, I'm not sure if the Nismo has this weight, but it will DEFINITELY help, especially to compensate with the weight of the wing

Andrew so you say that if i remove the metal square like you did it will be healthy for the trunk?. I got the amuse wing as you know and i don´t know why i got open the trunk 2 times...and then lift it up until the shocks start working.

I refer to my Z as an "it" lol
Sorry I'm not a traditional car guy. All I know is that the car can be totaled at any time, and I care a lot more about a living "her" or "him" for that matter
