last night here in stuart florida it was around 42 degrees at 1:00 last night. i was leaving walmart with 4 bags of groceries.i was agrivated cause my roomies didnt go when i asked them. i poped my hatch from about 20 ft away and my mind was elseware. i open the hatch w my left hand, leaned into the hatch and slung the bags in w my right. my phone rang as i was doing this so i drew my attention to it. Bam! i got creamed on the back of the head by my hatch! i flipped my $h!t thinking some one was behind me! i got the latch near square on the back of my head! why is the hatch doing this! it didnt do it this morningwhen it was just as cold out!?!?!?!?!

 

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA... sorry, but that was funny as hell.. stock hatch shocks are very weak. I have an aftermarket wing and I have to hold it with my head, while I put stuff in the trunk.

 

You aren't the only one this has happened to and I definitley know where you're coming from cause its happened to me. The OEM shocks are weak man.

But you have to admit it is kinda funny. The Z tried to eat you. lol

 

My hatch is also suddenly slamming shut down here in the Fort Lauderdale area also! Noticed it during grocery loading/unloading this morning. Must be related to the sudden temperature drop.

 

yeah i know! im like the perfect size for my car to eat im 19 5'2" 112 lbs. i think its funny now but last night......oooooooooh man my car is licky its a Z

 

are you a girl?

 

My hatch regularly bonks me on the head...


Sorry about the Hijack, but does anyone else have to pop the hatch like 3 times to open it?

 

funny story.

 

no im a guy..... im irish and italian (explains my shortness) i got the midget mod *****! i hav to pop the trunk 2wice on occation

EDIT.....damn dissapointment strikes again

i really need to get off this forum.

isnt there a weight in the hatch that can be removed? or you could get heavier shocks

 

LOL. I saw the topic and had to see this for myself.
But I quickly realised I was just finding the topic and who started it funny.

haha (laughing with you) ... I heard about doors slamming on peoples legs, now this. Where you mistreating your Z? j/k

 

YES! but i think ED718 found a way to stop that with some spacers!! ask him

 

Always wear a helmet.

 

The doors will get you too. People have died.

This happened to me as well, I should have sued Nissan, but the dealer said it happens with temps under 40 degrees or so.

 

Heck, you don't need an apartment . . . you can sleep in the cargo area of your Z!

 

R U stereotyping!?
