Hi i'm new here and i just recent bought a 32z and i dont know why my truck wont close all the way down tight i dont get it. does anyone have any input on this or a link that i could get some help on that would be great thank alot.

 

well first off better english helps if you want help. if your post is very hard to read most will just give up and look away. more info on what your hatch is doing would help too.

also look in the z32 section and look at riz's information thread (it a sticky and close to the top) and there is an online manual in there somewhere start there.


btw its
hatch not truck
z32 not 32z
won't not whole
recently not recent

 

Trunk or hatch?

 

yeah my bad good call nismo hatch not trunk

im still used to my other car that wasnt a hatch.
so im in the habbit of calling the back a trunk wether its a hatch or trunk

 

if it won't close all the way, look for obstructions. look at the latch, to make sure it's open before you put it down.

 

yea it the hatch. so here is the problem when i lift up the lever to open the hatch it doesnt pop up or anything it i need to keep the lifting up the lever while someone open the hatch for me. it a pain in the ***. so it the latch than is that what everyone saying???

 

i have the same problem. what that is is that the seal for the hatch has become compressed and the hatch sits too low. what i did was cut a slit in the seal right in the middle where the latch is (on the car side. not the hatch side). a very smal slit mind you. maybe an inch or so. then i fed in some stiff rope to hold the hatch up a little bit. maybe 1/4 in rope. this hods it up with enough tension that i don't need to lift up on it to open it.

but, your first post said that it wouldn't close... then your second post said it wouldn't open.... you really need to be a little more intentional with your words.

 

and i didn't need that much rope. maybe 2" worth. the right way to do this though, is to replace the whole hatch seal... good luck with that.

 

ok make up your mind is it not opening or not closing?

 

what nationality are you because your english is very difficult to understand

 

Duct tape.

 

where? to build up the seal? that's a bad idea. it would let a lot of water in that way. that's why i put something in the seal instead of on top of it

 

By his name I'd say he's Asian.

 

ahhhhhh good catch. rt is sorry he said anything now. jkjk

 

Kas, good suggestion!!!!

it's cool. just make sure everyone can understand what you are saying. what do you mean by it won't close correctly?
