is it common for this car to have so much static electricity?
I get the crap shocked out of me when im getting out of the car and touch the door handle!!
theres about a 1/8" arc! is something wrong? or not grounded?
any cure for this problem?

 

^^^^
ha good call!!

 

When I first got my car back in March of this year, I was getting shocked every single time I got out of the car for like three weeks. After that, the shocking just seemed to disappear. Maybe it had to do with the weather or something. I'm just glad I don't get shocked anymore.

 

It has to do with the weather and static electricity. Just make sure you touch the door/roof while getting out of the car and you will be fine.

 

your best friend when it comes to door shocks

 

no nasty prints all over,
maby some of those "grounding strips" that look like a curb feeler but pointing down??

geeze i could blow myself up at a gas station with a spark that size heh

 

i totally know what your tlaking about.... i just got my Z a week ago and it shocks the hell outta me everytime i get out and close the door... im scared at gas stations..

 

ya i dont think theres enought in that can to completely cover my car
and im not sprayin that on mee hehe

 

^^LOL, i should buy stock in that :0).

 

Try Window's edge instead of door handle. or while you getting out of the car...brush the side skirt with left calf (will reduce the static but not all)... if you have to open the trunk,,then it's do or die. I'm all paranoid about touching metal with my barehand after I get out of the car... LOL.

 

The shocks I get in this car are NOTHING compared to the one the Xterra unleashes. Those fockers could numb an arm for hours and the brightness of the static H-bombs could blind you for life.


Ok, not really but they friggin' hurt like hell. I always looked like a tard closing my doors with my feet, and since my truck had a 6 inch lift and 33" tires, it was quite embarrassing when I missed. Looked like I was trying to karate kick a ghost. I hated that.

 

Ugh, I forgot about that. To this day I still slap at door handles when going into stores hoping to make the shock quick and painless. I just look like a spaztic retard everywhere now that I think about it.

STUPID NISSAN! YOU'RE MAKING ME CORKY!

just run your keys along the side of your car as you get out. You'll scratch the paint but you won't get shocked

 

...... spray 'static guard' on the seat(s), not the exterior of the car. it prevents the charge when your pants rub against the fabric. works for a month before i have to respray. good luck.

btw, i thought closing the door with my butt will prevent a shock... i was soo wrong... it's so wrong, i felt violated...

 

Yeah, this is the only car I have owned that shocks you even when its fairly humid.

Must be all the power its waiting to discharge.

I also have an Armada, and it hardly ever shocks me.

 

its the carpet and on long trips where you are moving every so often it can get reallybad.

 

i always touch the door handle with my sleeves first be4 touch it w my bare hands.

 

closing it by the tip of your window works. but make sure u aviod leading fingerprintsss ahhhhh

 

My wife gets a shock when getting out of my Z, but Inever do. Maybe body chemistry also has something to do w/ it.
