i would also leave the black wire alone and just move it to a different input.
i am in missouri visiting my parents so i dont have my 350z service manual, but i am flying back into tampa tomorrow so i can look into it better tomorrow night and report back with what i find might be the best fix.

which is not to say that i made an error in my previous installs (they all work correctly and will work), we just have found a better solution.

Thanks guys for all the replies, questions and suggestions... let me see if I can cover them all....
I'm using the truck/hatch pin for the trigger. I saw the warnings about the door pins drawing too much current so I went with the trunk pin.
Dan, you wrote "leave the black wire alone and just move it to a different input". What "it" are you referring to, the trigger? Or, the sensor itself? Is the steering column the recommended place now? Or, should I just try to get it farther away from the door (kick panel)?
Does it matter which orientation the sensor is mounted in?
I believe Dan's explanation about the door closing causing the sensor to ground the trigger and make the BCM think that the door/hatch is open is right on target. Since the black wire controls when the sensor "turns on", that's why I thought if it went on a delayed power, it would stay off for a few seconds more allowing me to close the door and have it not trip the trigger.

you can mount it however you want.
