What you are feeling when you press up against the back of the seat is the Active Head Restraint System used to help reduce whiplash in an accident. If you can get your hands on a brochure, it will show a diagram regarding them.

Don't think that is true. My sister's SAAB 9-3 has active head restraints, but does not exhibit this issue.

Directly from Nissan's 370Z marketing brochure; AK has also provided the brochure here: 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe Brochure .pdf

If you push your back into the seat next time you are in your 370Z, you will feel it push the headrest forward.

Yeah, I found it weird when I banged my head against the headrest that it would hit me in the middle of the back. Yes, I like to bang my head, LOL.

I definately agree that it is the active head restraint system that causes the weird feeling. Thanks for clarifying with the diagram.

But I just wanted to mention that there are other cars that have the active head restraints that do not have this feeling.
