But everything in this DIY works and takes literally less than 10 minutes.

I bet the dealers are like, WTF,,, all these GTR switches failing?

Have to love parts commonality. Would be a nice and easy addition to put on the NISMO stock.

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, bur the battery needs to be disconnected first, before you unplug the original switch and the GTR switch in, right?

oops, I didn't even think to disconnect mine.

I definitely did NOT disconnect my battery, and I had no issues.

Didn't disconnect mine either. No problems afterwards.

Installed mine today in about 15 minutes with a small, flat-blade screwdriver wrapped in tape. Played it safe and disconnected the battery first and took my time to insure no marring or scuffs.

Best low-buck mod to my car next to the shift boot.

That's about what I paid for mine on Amazon. Right now they've got one on there for $38.

Took me 10 mins...well, really only about 1 min., the other 9 wasted trying to push the old button out the wrong way from the ring
