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.

Interesting that the 2012s don't have the lock. At least they have a temporary fix for you. It would suck to have the Z out of commission for a few weeks because of this.

mr.onzedge- good to hear you can at least get you car back.

but hummm... im quite surprised to hear the 2012's dont use steering locks... do they have other security measures?

i'd be VERY INTERESTED to see what the underside of the 12's steering column looks like. i should go visit my dealer sometime this Spring to take hentai (up steering column) shots with my droid.

hope the dealer lets you see the bad steering lock so we can get the Rev number....

I was going to make a joke about you having to go inside the car to look and relating it to 中出し, but you are too classy of a gentleman for that kind of juvenile, adolescent, potty humor
