DIY: GTR Red Start-Stop Button Swap out

shadoquad · 04-21-2011, 10:37 AM

I did this install last Saturday. Thanks for the awesome DIY, Triple's!!!

And I think this button looks better in person than in pictures.

Does anyone know if this part is compatible with the 2011 model? I would really like install it if it is! I searched the forum but can't seem to find any info.. Also, if it is are there any warrantee issues to be concerned about?

It's compatible and if the switch fails you have the original to replace it with? warranty won't cover it since it's not the original part for that model. Have at it

Interesting shot from Nissan's website. Looks like we started something.

WoW!!

I'm not surprised that Nissan would pick up on the mod as popular as it is. Wonder how soon it might make it into production Zs.
