Ok So I'm Headed Home After Taking The Z Out For A Spin For The 2nd Time After Getting It Back, Drove It Around The Block For About An Hour Or Less Did About 2 Launches (Nothing Too Hard) Now I'm Headed Home And It Just Cuts Off............... I Tried To Start It Back Up And It's Turning Over But Not Starting At First It Was Just Clicking Like It's Getting Power From The Battery So I Started Thinking It Was Just The Starter...... Then It Started Turning Over But Still Not Starting So Now I'm Lost Does Any One Have Any idea On What it Could Be Please Help Me I Would Hate To Have To Burn Down The Z Out Of Frustration



Thanks In Advance,
Kadeem

After A Deeper Investigation I Found Out What The Problem Was..... The Cam Angle Sensor (CAS) Was Slightly Disconnected So now I'm Up An Running Again

Is the retaining clip not on there anymore? Shouldn't work loose with the clip on there.

Should be a <$2 piece from Nissan. I'd give them a call and ask. It's just a metal clip shaped like [ <-that and it clips around the CAS plug and holds it in place.
