Z owner - "this is from a GTR!"
average joe - "....uhhh:ugh2:".


imo opinion it sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't match anything in our cars.

whyyy do people do this?

to each their own... I like mine the way it is, but for others they like it, so go with it.

to me, the gtr buttom feels more solid and firm. thats why i changed mine. and it was a cheap mod.

A sports car should have a red start button, end of story!

They are made of the same parts, except for a different plastic for the button surface...the spring mechanism is identical. :tup:

Next someone will say the red button adds 10 HP. :facepalm:

Get your facts straight. Dynos have proven it's at least 15hp at the wheels. Your also wrong about the spring. The spring used in the GTR button is a high performance version. It lowers the engagement point 0.000000001 of an inch.

Mine matches the red accents on the nismo. I like it.

originally, i thought it was extremely retarded. but for some reason it has grown on me and i want one. one of these days ill bother to order it, not worth placing a seperate order for it but when getting something else ill toss one in.

so i am no longer opposed to it, however, i am very opposed to people listing it as a mod in their signature. it makes me feel like they are really struggling to come up with a list that looks lengthy enough.... might as well list the tire patch from where you ran over a nail, or the stain on your seat!

whoever said people just want something different hit the nail on the head. i dont think many people really care that its from a GTR, i sure dont. the reality is, people will buy any "mod" they can that is under $100-150, even if its not really a mod at all.
