guys, i put some temporary remedies to try just in case (very bottom of the DIY)... these SHOULD work at least to get you going again...

DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

Makes me happy i purchased an extended warranty today at my dealership.
I'm at 35,500. got it for 120 down and 59 a month for 18 months. good until
75,000. they even threw in a years worth of free oil changes every 3500 miles. i figure by 75,000 it will be trade in time.. i just wanted the peace of mind..........................

that's great but the steering lock only costs $500 and 15min of your time.

Hate to hear this. Nissan really needs to recall this

Thanks. Maybe I should forward this to Nissan tomorrow -- they have my car already.

Some negative frost rep coming up!

Kidding, kidding. But it sure does suck to see your car like that :\

Damn this does suck! I was not aware of this issue with our z's! I was always skeptic about the whole non-traditional ignition setup........ Hope everything is fixed and running soon GL! +1rep to help cheer you up

if the dealer tells you they are back ordered for a long time, i would ask them if they can tap at the lock and to get it to start. chances are you can still use the car while you wait for your lock to come in.

courtesyparts.com has them in-stock as of today still... GL!!
