Default Hey, What's Up?

Hey guys and gals. My name is Alex, and I've recently just purchased a 2003 350z. It is a 6MT and has the Enthusiast package with black leather seats. It has just over 76,000 miles.

Some pics:





Although I'm learning to love the car, there are a few minor annoyances like, my driver side door lock doesn't open or lock when using the keyless entry. When using the automatic window to go up on the driver side, it goes all the way to the top then re-opens halfway. The rear hatches dampers aren't holding the rear hatch up at all, causing me to think that the trunk was inaccessible. And my last gripe is that the passenger side door bar that most passengers use to close the door is loose.

Pic of my last gripe:


Like I side, these annoyances are minor and I'm learning to live with it. These things will be changed later down the road.

I probably won't be posting much since I'm becoming great friends with the "Search" button.
Well, that's my introduction. I hope it wasn't too long of a read or the pictures too large.

Clean. The rear hatch is just struts worn, normal. The door handle is fixable. The window you will learn to live with as most do that. The door lock is NOT normal. Sorry. and Welcome!

I did a write up on TECH about cleaning those pesky window motors. You might also look into resetting the auto window. There's a button....

Congrats on your new purchase.

Struts: need to be replaced.
Passenger handle: there is a bolt that holds it against the door, pop of the silver plastic out and see if it's there. If it's not, then you need to put one. If it's there, then the tab broke and probably you need to replace the handle.
Window: it happens every now and then, you probably will need to replace the window motor. Try holding the UP button all way for a bit.

The door lock I have no idea, probably something got disconnected inside.
