Thank you again everyone for all the support. You are my best friends and we have not even met yet.

I am getting the rev numbers from the old and new part for those of you interested.

Have a great day!!!!

Bad news. Apparently the 2012 models do not have a steering lock any more so there is no way to swap out the mechanism. Figures. So, the dealer jerry-rigged a module from an Altima so the car is driveable at least and I can bring it home to wait for the part. February 10 is the estimated delivery of the part. Nice.

+1 to the dealer for making it happen at all costs.

That's really great of them to help you out like that, it's not every day you find a deal that is willing to go above and beyond to do things like that for customers. Glad to hear you have the Z back for now!

Yikes! Well good to hear that you are back on the road. Dealer went above and beyond for this one.
