Just picked up a 2003 silver enthusiast Z with 10K miles. Aside from the steering pulling hard to the right, it seems to be a great car. I am hoping that new wheels, tires, springs, and an alignment will cure the pull.

Anyhow, as I was getting in the car about to drive away, I whacked my right knee HARD on the contour of the door panel.

Then when I got home, I was unloading some stuff I pulled from my old car out of the hatch area. Well, apparently the hatch hadn't opened up completely because when I stood up I smashed the back of my skull on the tailgate latch. It honestly knocked me out cold for about 10 seconds, I think. There is a giant lump on the back of my head like they get in cartoons.

My mom then came over and decided she wanted to drive it. After a quick spin around the block, I tried to get back in the car and she had pulled the seat so far forward that I smashed my knee AGAIN into the steering wheel.

Injuries aside, I hope to overcome "newbie" status fairly quickly. I'm a long-time Maxima.orger and it is weird having to start from scratch again with modding knowledge.

 

welcome!

You are being selfish!
What about all the pain the Z is suffering!

 

would you like some cheese with your whine?







j/k
welcome!

 

or how about some crackers...
welcome.

 

Whew, I thought I was going to open up a "I crashed my Z the first time out" story.

You'll get used to it, and one good drive down a twisty road will make you forget all about it.

 

i don't think these are good signs... your Z is trying to warn you about something. So please be safe while driving your car

 

Have fun it is a great trip you are about to begin.

 

Welcome, you'll enjoy the car, I promise.

 

Welcome.

If your car stills pulls to the right after an alignment, have Nissan do the following technical service bulletin on your car. I just did it and it cured the problem:

The repair is free.

 

Ahh... young grasshoper. I too am a former max.orger. You will learn the ways of the Z shortly. Give it a little time... You will also catch the mod bug again shortly and stock z's will begin looking like crap along w/ the old max u used to drive as well. Eventually the glitz of the Z will too wear off and it will be just another car until u mod it up. Enjoy.

 

Heres something else to look out for:

If your ever wearing light shorts, and decide to slide off the seat to get out of the car, the high bolster on the edge of the seat can be a real nut squasher!
