its not the letter Z that gets you in trouble, its the trademark on the Z logo... that specific Z, with the kinks at the end of the z, and the diagonal mid plane in the middle, etc.... that is what they control.

They don't though. No trademark on file. The only thing that protects it is copyright law, and since it can be shown in court that the Z itself probably drew elements from other previous copyrighted works, Nissan wouldn't have a chance in hell at winning.

Besides, the last thing Nissan wants to do is sue somebody for producing aftermarket parts for one of their cars. That's probably one of the worst things they could ever do for public image in the eyes of people like us.

I would like to see a footrest pedal made. About 4" tall and fit over the existing left footrest, mounted with either double sided tape or screws. You could machine it out of aluminum or even plastic and add a Z appropriate design to it. Anodize in the color of your choice if aluminum.

The footrest in the Z is too far away, it should be flush with the brake and/or clutch pedal imo. What do you think? Stupid idea?
