GTR start stop button
 

Just got to my house :tup: Going to install it now, will post pics within the hour.

or not

lol.. maybe he hit some speed bumps with the install?

haha, how do you screw this one up...

Sorry guys, I installed it and immediately wanted to go out cruising in the beautiful chicago weather :)

Here's pics, I am telling you, just like everything else, these pics DO NOT do this mod justice. In person the button looks dark red candy apple/mettalic red. Its amazing, I am dumbfounded and how different this looks in a picture from the real thing. Cheapest mod out there and it is well worth it. Installation was a since, I didnt even disconnect the hazard button with my 6spd manual. I am surprised at how easily I was able to take that whole dash n such apart, took me an easy 10 minutes to install. Courtesy parts were very quick with shipping, A +

Looks great Reaper, I was actually thinking of doing it to my car myself. So I going to since you said it was wasy to do. Looks like it just fit right in place of the orginal one right?

Looks Great Reaper42 :tup:

Ya it is kinda weird how it shows up bright red in pics, but more metallic red in person. It def suprised me when I first saw it. It's a def must buy, and it's from an actual GT-R. It can't get any more "tits" then that, lol

Hey Reaper , just one more thing, I noticed the plug in in the back of the switch shown on the Courtesy Nissan parts page, does that plug right into the 370z harness? No cutting or fitting?

Thats right, it's a simple disconnect of the Original start button, and reconnect of the Gtr button.

Yea it's a direct plug n play, I think the current DIY needs to be done up better, especially one for manual versions. Maybe I'll redo my install n do a New DIY

Turn your flash off.
 

Turn your flash off. If you are using a cheap camera, this screws the shutter rate, so set the camera down and use the auto timer to avoid shaking the camera during the shot.

Nice mod. Never thought of this. What does it look like lit up?

Lol the only camera I have personally to take pics is my iPhone, which doesnt have flash. At night, the only thing that is lit up is the lettering START and STOP, the red paint is non transparent.

Yes, I installed the button about 2 months ago as well. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it better than the opaque one that comes with the car. Now, I'm really glad I installed it. Looks much better, especially at night because I couldn't stand how the stock one is a big glowing orange button.

The stock one always kinda looked cheesy to me, it was one of the first things I noticed that I didn't like very much about the car when I got in it for the first time to go for a test drive.

One of the easiest installs you can do as well. It took me longer to remove the damn connection on the back of the button (small flathead screwdrive needed to push the tab in) than to actually get at it in the first place.

Hey men, just a quick question for you, What all do you take off to get to the start button? I pulled off the surrounding area (the vents and around the Navigation). I cant seem to get it all the way off at the bottom where it seems to attach to the gear stifet finisher. I just dont want to pull so hard and break it. Any help would be helpful, Thanks

I bought the part from courtesy parts today. Wont get installed till September tho. Great write up on the DIY threads + the pics here very helpful.

Thanks Reaper!

Check Triple's DIY and download the service manual, For reference. It sounds like you didn't remove the shifter cover. In case of the manual trans you just pul the ring on the base of the shifter suround up and towards you to take it off. Move it out of the way ( but not completely off) then you can get to the Phillips head screws that keep the 2 "knee pads" in place, the once to the left and right of the centre console. Once those are gone you'll see 2 Phillips head screws on the bottom end of the Nav/stereo/airco suround. Take those out and you can pull the whole suround off. Or at least pull it out far enough to reach the start button.

Mine should be here next week.
Curious to see what it looks like installed.
Thanks for the idea!

I couldn't find it on the Courtesy Parts site. Can someone please post a direct link?
