Ok, just a quick question and then I'll be on my way...

I'm actually asking on behalf of my father [who loves his Z more than he loves me ... I'm sure you know how that goes].

Is there any way to open the Z's trunk without using the remote? He finds that he has to take the keys out of the ignition to point the remote at the rear of the car just to open the trunk ... there has to be an easier way right?

Thanks a bunch!

right above the license place....under the lip....there is a button. press the button and you can pop the trunk without using the remote.

Its a hidden button just as djkern said. And you would be amazed at how many people do not know about it.

Also, if you ever get locked "in" the trunk, there's an emergency pull thingy in there....Dave

Took me about a month before I found it :thumbsup:

Also I've noticed you can't use the remote to pop the trunk when the car is running. So then you have to use the hedden button.

Man I'm not a freak about reading the manual or anything like that, but I still found my button ASAP. I figured it had to be there somewhere.

hi

here in South Africa we have the European Spec 350z, which only has 2 buttons on the key - open & lock - nothing for the trunk. we have to press the button on the hatch to open it.

question - when you press the button does the hatch open all the way up? or does it only pop the lock, needing you to lift it up?

BTW, our z's come with stock rear spoiler - i've read that with spoilers, it does not open up all the way. however, what about the stock spoiler?

thanx

Mine will not release all the way up, but I have an aftermarket spoiler. Even before I added the spoiler I don't think the deck went all the way up without manual assistance.

There is a 1.5 pound counterweight inside the inner hatch cover...removing that may help the deck raise on it's own.

:rolf2: I always wondered about that. Now I know! :wavey: 350z-tech rules. :werd:

The hatch was never made to raise on its own, just to pop open from the locked position, all you lazy bumbs have to actually life the hatch up, I am sorry!
