I was holding off on this until I read your write up, thanks! Just ordered one from Hanlees Hilltop Nissan (thanks for the recommendation "1st") as they have next day shipping to my area for $6!

Not sure if I saw it in other posts or not but the part number to reference was #25151JF00A and they currently have it available for $31.24

This happened today and was pretty simple. Thanks again for the write up!

Thanks for the shortcut. Just got my GTR button in the mail and I'm about to install.

ZForce · 03-17-2013, 03:47 PM

Noice ! Thanks for the write up, this will help as I have been holding off installing until now.

I considered trying it that way but was nervous to snap a clip since the clips around the ignition are not as thick.. So i did it trips way. That's super easy but Trips way is a lot easier than it looks in pics. Takes about 10 min trips way. But i think im gonna try this way just for the heck of it.

45 seconds this way....

I got a mini screwdriver under where you indicated and was trying to pop the button out but it wasn't budging and didn't wanna use too much force so I stopped. Can someone confirm that this works fine on a 2012 6mt?

JARblue · 05-03-2013, 05:29 PM

Yes it does. The clips that hold the button onto the dash are located about 45 degrees from straight up/down or right/left (down right and up left from the center of the button). I'll post a pic in a sec where you can see the start button face, the clip that snaps into the dash, and the cutout in the dash opening for the clip. This is the best location for the removal tool (I prefer to use plastic door panel removal tools instead of metal screwdrivers).
