NISSAN fixed the design. The fix wasn't to keep revising the lock. The fix was to delete the lock entirely (on later model Z's).
It's likely they had trend data on all revisions, showing a high defect rate due to an inherent flaw. The enthusiast community fixed the design too (on earlier model Z's). The fix is to virtually delete the lock by pulling the fuse, harness, cutting the wire etc. Stuff like this makes me really like that we got such a kick arse forum! I'm one of guys that got saved from getting stranded. For me, it was late at night, in the rain, in the corner of a deserted airport parking lot, having just gotten off a 6+ hour fight. My SL failed! I kicked the SL and got my car to start. Drove home, left car on, pulled up the fuse thread, then pulled the fuse. Took a few minutes. Saved me tons of cash and the hassle of leaving my car with the dealer. Tapatalk & such etc |
