I learned - from reading these posts, that many of you have never read your owners manual. (it is dry reading for the most part, but every now and then you will come across something very useful).
For example - on a Roadster, "When the cancel switch (located inside the rear floor box) is OFF, the trunk lid cannot be opened with the release switch. It can be opened only by pushing the HATCH/TRUNK button on the keyfob".
If you don't have an owners manual, you can down load one (free) from the internet.
I see many posts requesting information, that can be answered, simply by reading the owners manual.
It may not be informative as your smart phone, but read it anyway.

Listen guy, I'm not on here to battle with anyone over mt/at. We can seriously go all day with this but im not interested. Only reason I got this car in AT was because I got a great deal on it. I have owned 3 mt cars and 4 mt streetbikes so it's not a matter of being a noob. This has always been the car I have wanted and didn't care so much what I get as long a I get it. Your comment is ignorant and you are seriously an assshole for coming in here and going off topic just say some stupid comment. Just because u have a colorful gay signature doesn't mean you earn my respect.

I found out after purchasing a Z that there are jackasses all over forums nowadays. Never came here to debate or battle with anyone. Just want to share my passion with other fellow Z owners. Please do us all the favor and keep your smartasss comments to yourself and do try and stay on topic. Thanks

funny if you guys just had more curiosity and explored a bit more with your hands you would find so many things like a hatch button for the trunk and the cup holder, etc... Girls dig that kind of thing so start trying it. I know when I test drove and wasn't even sure of the buy I already had read p on the vehicle and also did the all around exploring... enjoy

Strut cover plastics seemed to be removed and put back incorrectly, just a minor appearance issue but fixed now. The Z also came with nismo s-tune suspension and exhaust

that what i was told about the uprev stage 1 tune is probably not true.
and that the right rear brakes or wheel bearing needs to be replaced hadnt taken apart yet

this also makes me question the other things such as the "stillen headers" and exedy stage 2 clutch.

i know it has high flow cats and a full H pipe as i can see it and the 19" rpm wheels and the pro eibach springs

that I should have just saved up a little more for an 06+ because after upgrading my headlights and a few other things it would have been alot cheaper lol
