Is that your original spring or the new one?

the one on the top is my original failed spring

the one on the bottom is vipors nismo spring

^^ Great! Thanks man!

I know this is an old issue...but is nissan fixing this problem under warranty? Or is it a DIY? I apologize if I can't find the answer...this is a huge thread. Mine hatch take 2-4 pushes while pulling up after the first push...
Thx

take the tsb from the first post to your nissan dealer and they will replace them under warranty

Nissan is Cool
 

THANKS KDO Nissan sent me a$250.00 gift card good at any Nissan dealer to replace the springs under warranty...

:tup: very nice! that'll get you springs and then some...

Hey I took this to a dealer to get it fixed but it seems like half the time it is still getting stuck. Is anyone still having the problem after the dealer fixed it?

I had the issue intermittantly and got the new springs under warantee and it still happened every once in a while.

I then got a Nismo wing installed and it does it every time now! I also put in 2 washers in each one and it only helped a little. UGH I need to add a few more washers... Try that.

That would be washers to the base where the springs meet right? Just gorilla those things in there?

Pennies fit fine but too many and you could bulge the top of the hatch over the springs - I would limit to three.

Even though my Z is now currently 5 months out of warranty, my Nissan dealership will be fixing this for free due to my low mileage, (about 12,000 miles even though the car is 3 years old).

I took my z into the dealer recently and they told me this was normal operation. Actually is a little frustrating when you don't know your sh*t.

Cerritos Nissan would not replace or even offer a percentage off due to being out of warranty by 3 months. i'm only at 29,XXX miles.
