Just picked up the car Monday.
Its an 03, 6spd, touring model with 36500KM (23kmiles for my US friends)

I bought the car in Thunder bay, ON and drove it back to Toronto to drop off my bother. Then continued on driving to its new and final home in Ottawa! Car now has 38XXX. It worked like a dream on the trip back from TB.

Car only has a few small issues:
-Passenger window rolls down 1/2 way when you use auto up.
-The speakers crackle for the first 10 min on use? haha.

I've owned a few sportier cars, s2k, evo10, e30M3 and some civics. I look forward to meeting some owners and going to meets around ON.

There were a few nice scenic places on the way back as well!

oh man, I could hear the rocks/sand hitting the car. I had to do something, so we hit up a RONA and 50 bucks worth of tape later... haha

Freahjive, regarding your window problem, the Z like all cars has an anti-pinch feature built into the power windows. Your Z has forgotten where its programmed upper limit is. Thinking it’s pinching some hapless child’s hand it is promptly stopping and reversing as it is supposed to.

Resetting the upper and lower limits is easy on a Z as there is an easy to reach reset button on the motor. Easy being a relative term here, as the inner door panel, all the trim and other assorted do-dads must be removed to access the window motor. Some great guides complete with pictures for this are on this forum, (someone here can post the tutorial link I’m sure)

There is a possible even easier way to reset this. One day my stupid boyfriend (he’s a standard issue man, meaning if he sees a button he’s hard wired to have to push it, up, down, sideways, whatever. This of course stimulates the notion of “if I do this, or this, or this, I wonder what will happen".) Anyways the result was a window that was acting exactly as you are experiencing. With the door closed I raised the window to the top using the regular switch function (not the auto close function) and held the switch for an extra 4 or 5 seconds. Then I lowered the window to the bottom again holding the switch for the same extra seconds. Magically the window motor regained its composure and was fixed.

Many makes and models of cars recommend the above method. Remembering that, saved me a formal Nissan reset procedure. Maybe it will work for your car.

Nice mileage for an 03, or should that be kilometre-age. We think in kms over here too.

Enjoy the Z.
