Things you didnt know about your 370z

If you press the unlock button on the remote twice and hold it down, the windows will come down until you release the button. That is If you live in a hot environment so as you are walking to your car, you can "cool it" before you get in. The same can be done by inserting the key in the door and turn it to unlock (hold it to that position). The same is to roll the windows up by turning the key to the lock position while holding it. Many of my friends never knew this.

And you can lock your vehicle from the outside with the key fob on hand while the engine is running. I do it during the summer time if I'm at a convenience store and just getting a soda or water bottle, I leave the engine running with A/C blasting cold air while I get my drinks. Upon returning I just press unlock and get in.
So far this is the only vehicle that allows me to do that. Any other car, I have to turn off the engine in order to "lock it".

My GMs, 350Z, previous 240SX, previous LS400, previous E36M3s, and a few others allow door locking using the remote while the engine is running. I do this when warming up in the cold months to prevent theft.

I didn't know that after 2 yrs of ownership, that on occasion, I would still be floored by how aggressively gorgeous a car she is.

every time i exit the car with fob in hand, it beeps and displays a "no key" message. what happens if i keep walking away with the key and out of range of the car?

It will get tired of beeping. Perhaps it may follow the key fob.
On a serious note, nothing happens. It only beeps for a few seconds, but if you don't lock it anyone can still drive it away.
I haven't tried this, but I will "leave" the key fob in the garage while I drive around my block to see if it shuts down after a few minutes or if anything happens at all.
