Thanks for the how to... made this super easy.

I think it is hard to take a picture of the GTR button, it is very nice looking. It's not just red plastic, it is more like glittery nail polish.

Also the quick method without removing dash is very safe and easy, I used a laminated card to press in the clips. The clips are between 4-5 and 9-10 position on a clock. No need to pull, if you press in the clips it will pop out on that side.

Thanks for write up took no time at all! Looks so much nicer! As others of said Nissan should have this come with the Z.

Just added my GT-R Start button. Seriously took no more than a minute to swap:

So where is the cheapest place to get one of these GT-R buttons nowadays?

SwissCheese · 09-09-2014, 09:03 PM

Well, I couldn't wait any longer and just ordered one off of Amazon for $36 (plus $6 for shipping). Now it just needs to hurry up and get here!

Just finished installing my GT-R ignition switch and the 2015 nismo red ignition cover on my 2014 nismo! Looks awesome and such an easy job! I also installed interior led lights and clear lenses from the GT-R as well. Thanks to the DIY forum!

Here are the part numbers for my above post.

I like the red ignition cover. I'll probably install one as well. I just ordered my GT-R ignition switch yesterday.

It took about 2 weeks to get the red ignition cover since it is a fairly new part (for '15 and newer Nismo's), but worth the wait I believe!!!
