Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone know what type of bolt this is?

Any advice on unplugging the switch? It’s in a really awkward spot and I can’t really see the back of it. I tried unplugging but no luck so far…

in your picture it looks like there is a white retention tab that should be pressed in, possible on both sides. before the white portion slides out. at that point the black "socket" should be able to be threaded off... not sure just going by the picture

Nope! The white plastic is actually part of the switch. Pretty sure the exposed white you see on the side is Nissan's best attempt to keep you contorting yourself under the dash as long as possible so you give up and take it to the dealer

In the OP's photo, the tab is going to be on the top of the switch (not on the sides with the exposed white part) that is opposite the blue part of the connector. It is just a single tab - I usually try to wrap the loom around a finger to help pull the connector out while pushing the tab with another finger.

They are a pain in the azz is about all I can tell you. I have big fingers so I have to use a pick or small screw driver to push the clip in.

I have to take the seat out to get under the dash. It's only 4 bolts and a couple plugs to give yourself a lot more room.

Listen to this man

I've done like 8 clutch pedal installations over the years. Some things have gotten easier, but those damn switches always put up a fight
