On my Altima it gives a loud beep when the car is on and i walk out with the keys. Or once the car is off and i walk out without my keys.

Forgot if the Z does the same.

LOL. I have not done this yet, its kinda hard to not hear the car on when you walk out. Even with just stock exhaust, you still here the engine and what not. I do, however, fear the day that I somehow turn on the car and drive away without the key being on me no more. It does alert you when you are in the car and there is no key, but I still worry I will take off without they key on me anymore and get stranded somewhere! lol

I picked up a lanyard for my keys. Highly recommended if you have any worries about leaving them behind/in the car. I just throw it on like a set of dog tags and call it done.

Its not the push to start button on the z that gave me problem, its trying to find the push to start button on other cars i drive that made me laugh at myself

Tazrek, Funny story. Question though, because you drive a Nismo, don't you normally put it in a gear before shutting it off or is leaving it in neutral plus handbrake secure enough for you?

So I park, grab the keys, and walk into the store..

well luckily I was in the store for no longer than 10 min because as I was coming back to my car, I opened the door, and realized I never turned off the car!!!

Needless to say, the Z has another thing added to her Christmas list.....An exhaust!

Dude, your car coulda been stolen.............

Could it? I THINK the Z will disable itself if the keys arent being read. Maybe someone could get in (not sure about that either, might lock itself if its not seeing the fob), but pretty sure its disabled when keys arent readable and you attempt to drive away.

Then again maybe not, i vaguely remember forgetting my keys in my house while it was running and pulled out of the driveway...i THINK.

You can drive it away without the key... not sure how far or how fast. I just know you won't be able to turn it back on after you turn it off without the key.

You can absolutely drive away without the key, and the car will perform as normal... only problem is once you shut it off your not gonna be able to start it back up obviously. My mom did this in her MB CLS.. had to call AAA and get a tow home! lol

I've done this before. I had the keys on me in my pocket but actually it was my dad who was driving the car. He dropped me off at the front of the store and then parked pretty far back to wait for me. The car kept going but it did tell him that there were no keys as he drove away. Of course once he turned off the car he was unable to turn it back on to listen to the radio as he waited. Nothing was disabled though till that point of him turning off the car.

I did the exact same thing last month. Not turning a key has taken some getting used to.
