Yes mine does this. I thought it was because I have had my trunk replaced due to a tree branch falling on it (I have bad luck with this car) and the body shop did a cruddy job fixing it. Guess thats not the case. But, yeah my truck def does this.

Waizz, btw I know I have said it before but your 350 is really nice. You most certainly dont see them that well done too often. Hats off to you sir

There is a TSB for the hatch issue, where they replace the springs. It fixes the issue for some, not for others.

You can also drop a couple pennies under the springs to fix the issue.

I never cared enough to bother. Double tapping the button is not really a big inconvenience to me.

Uncovered her and took a spirited romp to dispell the notion thE Asians can't drive.
Stopped at the train station and watched the Mrs. pull away before boarding.my train to NYC.

LunaZ · 11-06-2011, 02:21 PM

I had the TSB performed and I still have to double tap when it gets cold.

We were curious where it actually was located, I will let the guys know.

Do you have an aftermarket wing? Mine would get stuck during the colder months but now that I have the NISMO wing I have to press the button twice all the time

I really appreciate the compliments, I just can't believe that in two months my Z will be 8 years old

BTW - thank you for posting the pictures. Usually someone from or group posts pictures on the Club's Facebook page a few days after the event. When they come up, I'll post the link.

Here's a link to some pictures from our October car show:

Leaving Facebook... | Facebook

Well me and the Nisom did and then a friend with a 350 arrived and got a spot right next to us but then people just start flooding in and theres not much opportunity unless you get there right at 7 and all cruise in together. But for the most part the Z's were pretty spread out.

About the pictures, thanks. I try to make sure that I post them same day, or I'll just be lazy and it wont get done.

That show near you is killer. Quite a few Z's. That red Nismo 350 is the car I wanted until I drove a 370 for the first time. There were a few that I came very close to buying but I'm very happy I ended up with the 370.

Yeah I really don't either, but generally speaking the only time anyone opens the hatch is to put something in the trunk, meaning your hands are full. and the real pain is, even if I double tap it from the start, I usually still have to lift it and let it catch, then press it again for it to release. PITA.... OWell

if you drop in the stronger springs + a penny, the issue will pretty much disappear.
