DIY: GTR Red Start-Stop Button Swap out

DWS44 · 01-02-2012, 03:57 PM

Well...this became my first official "mod" on my roadster yesterday! Big thanks to Triples for the DIY!

Ordered one from Z1 and had it the next day! Like others said, super simple install and looks awesome...even better than in the pictures.

Thanks for the DIY. Such a simple install it is definitely worth it.

Did mine today, it took me 25 minutes to do it.
i am very pleased with the final aspect.

A must have:-)...

Question : Can i order this part as a "gtr ignition switch" from any nissan dealer, or is this part specially adapted for the 370z with a red button ? this means would this part work indifferently on a gt-r and on a 370z ?

I'm in France, ordered it from the Z-store but never arrived after 40 days, So I'm thinking : Why Didn't I ask my local nissan dealer ?

Did mine over the weekend, looks/works great!

The Part # is from the GTR so it's same Part that the GTR's uses.

The reason I have a suggested place to by it from? Is The Nismo Shop is a supporting Vendor.

We encourage members to give our Vendors on Here a chance first.

You're local Nissan may or may not have this in Stock but you can just order it from them also.

Pretty easy mod and it looks great.

thank you Triple's. Guess I wanted it the complicated way. I'll ask my nissan dealer then.

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-20-2012, 07:17 PM

Thanks triple... accomplished this mod in 20min. Ur the man.

Speedy · 02-21-2012, 07:20 PM

Thanks Triple's. Just put mine in tonight in 7 minutes. You saved me about 30 minutes figuring out how the dash came apart with your write up.

ZYCOPTH · 03-03-2012, 02:28 PM

Great write up. took all of 10 minutes to install the button and the passenger air bag button (it was scratched by the previous owner). i think it took more time reading the posts on DIY than actual install time.

SAMSKEE · 03-16-2012, 07:43 PM

Had it installed in less than 10 minutes. Easy easy easy! Thanks to this writeup I saved a lot of my time. Thanks!!

CMills18 · 03-20-2012, 09:00 AM

Thanks for putting this up man it helped out a lot and didn't even take me that long to install at all.

omgZ · 03-29-2012, 03:46 PM

Thanks for the great write up.

omgZ · 03-29-2012, 03:51 PM

I just noticed that my stock button doesn't say "Engine"
