I just recently purchased my 350z. Its a 2005 manual with 63000 miles. It was starting and running perfectly fine then two days ago i was about to leave for work and it didn't start. When i turn the key the car doesn't start. The starter doesn't click or make any sound or movement. I can hear the fuel pumps engaging when i try to turn it on so its not that and it has a brand new battery The very next day i went to try to turn on the car again and it started right up with no issues. I was able to drive it around fine and throughout the day i was able to turn it on and off with no issue. Then again later that day when i was about to leave for work it wouldn't start again. Doing the same thing. I checked all the relays and the fuses already, i checked the clutch switch and i disconnected and reconnected the ignition switch. I'm really confused as to what it could be. Any help?

There are 2, and they are different, a 10mm bolt holds them in, replace with Hitachi brand if possible

Update- it wasn't the sensor. i decided to check with the obd2 computer again to see if any new codes pooped up and i got a key code specifically p1614 and p1615. i called a locksmith for him to check out my key and it turns out i have a mess of an electrical issue. Not quite sure whats wrong anymore. Any suggestions?

First, start by searching this site on NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft) system issues. Then maybe you can back up by giving more details about your Z and what caused "a mess of an electrical issue". to gain any more educated guesses on this thread. Or maybe it's time to get an experienced Nissan tech with a CONSULT III involved.

I looked it all up and checked everything it told me too. I have an electrican coming tomorrow afternoon. ill post here what he says is wrong in cases anyone else has this issue.

I wonder if there was some sort of remote-start installed previously, and the wiring is all torn up from that?
