Default Engine Starting Problem

My car is now having trouble starting up now. When I turn the key it definitely sounds like it is turning and it is about to start but just never fires. When stop and give it a few seconds sometimes it starts. I have done some research and read the previous post and it seems like this is a common problem. Most have stated that it is the NATS antenna that has gone bad. Now after doing some searches in hopes of finding the antenna, I cannot find the NATS antenna on google or eBay. Where can I purchase this antenna?

Ok so instead of searching for a NATS antenna I searched on eBay for the igniition switch and came out with a find. Is the whole ignition switch immobilizer what i am looking for and does this have the NATS antenna with it. I have attached a picture.

No one? Ok so Im at the point that I think Im going to take the chance that this is the NATS antenna and order the part. My next question is is this just a simple swap of the ignition system. The part comes with 2 sets of keys so will it work right away or do I have to get the key reprogrammed when I install it?

Before you start buying parts that may or may not work with your Z33, why not do a more complete assessment of your car? Step @1: how old is the battery? Is it possible the battery doesn't provide enough cranking speed to get the Z to fire?
