Just had the springs replaced on my 2011. Looks like this problem wasn't just the 2009 models.

Yup...Nissan never learned their lesson from the Z33 model and look at how many years they made it. Prob won't learn it on the Z34 model and we are into the 5th year of this model. Good thing about it is the TSB, beats the pennies fix IF car is still under warranty.

The bros 09 model stared sticking last winter...duh..cold effects this issue. Dealer said yesterday, just bring it in and they do NOT need to see it sticking to replace it under warranty. Now that is dealer service. Rep to Future Nissan of Roseville, CA.

I never had the problem on my 2011 sport, but on my 2011 Nismo yes.

Took the Nismo in and they showed them the problem, but they said that it was my sub box. My sub box? You push the button the truck does not open all the way and the hatch shakes going over bumps don't know how that is related a secured sub box.

Now I have to take it in again and show them this TSB. I think my sport had the new springs because I can shake my rear up and down on the Nismo and I can't on the sport.

Can't believe they could not see the problem or eve look for the TSB to fix it. I have an exhaust leak now so I will take it in again and get a loner for the day.

Sorry I'm not a traditional car guy. All I know is that the car can be totaled at any time, and I care a lot more about a living "her" or "him" for that matter

You need a new dealershit...
All 2011's should have the new springs. The Nismos DO/should also have clear rubber bumpers/feet where the spring closes. (It will be located on the car, not the springs)

Try this:
DIY: Weight reduction/Fix hatch not opening issue


To be 100% honest, I'm not sure if the Nismo has this weight, but it will DEFINITELY help, especially to compensate with the weight of the wing

I have a new set of these springs for sale. I was supposed to get the ones for my 350z but ended up getting the ones for the 370. Pm me and maybe we can work something out. I'm 60 bucks in the hole and my hatch still doesn't pop up.

Default Update on price and revised part #5

Added my comment from a linked similiar new thread.

ok...I checked with my dealer and the weight is for throw weight on closing the hatch, remember there is hatch shock that has resistance and the weight is to close the hatch with some weight behind. Funny they said "also maybe for petite woman".

So there you have it...it's like a pendulum weight to assist with closing the hatch. If you guys are not noticing any additional force required to close the hatch after removing the weight...that's odd then.

One additional note and VERY IMPORTANT, the part is NOT covered after the 3 yr 36k mile warranty runs out. They have revised the part 5 times, as currently for ALL year models they are on part rev "E". And here is the kicker, they are bending us over big time for this non warranty part for a mere $37.77 per spring. Yup...can you say bend me over !

The bros Z 2009 with 42k and out of warranty was replaced under warranty. They are family with us and I applaud them. So go with the mod mentioned on this thread or the penny mod. But $37.77 per spring is outrageous.

Part # 84415-1EA2E Spring-Lift
List price: $37.77 each
