It's more of a little space, than a full on compartment, but yes, there is a little hidey hole there. :tup:

Did I just say hidey hole?!:ugh2:

One thing I noticed recently (Nissan thinking again) is the interval wipers will wipe immediately when you turn to a shorter setting, which is brilliant and exactly what you want - also, they are speed sensitive if you have Nav, but you have to enable the setting.

Did not realize there was a lock door button underneath the trunk!

I gotta look for this secret compartment. Love little hidey holes like that.

I was disappointed that coupes don't have the valet / lock hatch mode in the glove box. Though I guess you should just go in through the inside anyway. :o

Followed by wondering why the glove box is so small to begin with.

Things I didn't know about the370z.com Mr Kenchan is a trololololol

Something I did not know:

The car sounds like a tractor when it's turning off. Plus, when the OEM tires are almost dead, OMFG they are loud (Louder then any other tire i've had before).

MR.nismo 05-07-2015 12:43 AM

If you press the unlock button on the remote twice and hold it down, the windows will come down until you release the button. That is If you live in a hot environment so as you are walking to your car, you can "cool it" before you get in. The same can be done by inserting the key in the door and turn it to unlock (hold it to that position). The same is to roll the windows up by turning the key to the lock position while holding it. Many of my friends never knew this.

MR.nismo 05-07-2015 12:46 AM

And you can lock your vehicle from the outside with the key fob on hand while the engine is running. I do it during the summer time if I'm at a convenience store and just getting a soda or water bottle, I leave the engine running with A/C blasting cold air while I get my drinks. Upon returning I just press unlock and get in.
So far this is the only vehicle that allows me to do that. Any other car, I have to turn off the engine in order to "lock it".

My GMs, 350Z, previous 240SX, previous LS400, previous E36M3s, and a few others allow door locking using the remote while the engine is running. I do this when warming up in the cold months to prevent theft.

I didn't know that after 2 yrs of ownership, that on occasion, I would still be floored by how aggressively gorgeous a car she is.

every time i exit the car with fob in hand, it beeps and displays a "no key" message. what happens if i keep walking away with the key and out of range of the car?

vtec to vvel 05-09-2015 01:30 AM

one thing i found on from my 07 Si and that i've tested on my 07 350Z and now my 09 370Z is that if you push the unlock button from your key fob, but don't open the door, within 45 seconds, the car will lock itself on its own.

It will get tired of beeping. Perhaps it may follow the key fob.
On a serious note, nothing happens. It only beeps for a few seconds, but if you don't lock it anyone can still drive it away.
I haven't tried this, but I will "leave" the key fob in the garage while I drive around my block to see if it shuts down after a few minutes or if anything happens at all.

Most cars do that (modern cars with factory alarms). You can unlock it, but if no doors are ever opened then the car lock itself again. Some manufacturers gives you 45 seconds, others 30 seconds or a minute.

MR.nismo 05-09-2015 02:03 AM

I bet no one knows this......
If you want the passenger to STFU, all you have to do is (while in a safe zone/area to do this) do a quick input in the steering wheel of hard left followed by a hard right. The passenger's head (the side of the head) will hit the glass. They will get the message.. :tup:
I do it to my wife whenever she starts bickering or annoying me. She gets the message.

All this talk about storing a handgun in the cubby holes got me thinking; If you're in an accident, couldn't you have a gun flying around your head?

Good Info!
 
Lot of good infor here. So many posts are just rambling stuff.
Thanks

Somebody recomended that I post this, not sure if its been discussed...

But something I didnt know about my Z that I just found out...

It wont let you set cruise control above 90! :)

djc119 05-10-2015 12:02 PM

It will attract every bug near the road and proudly display them on the front cover.

And side mirrors!

Yes it could. This time at band camp....in Alabama, I came to the rescue (since I witnessed the accident) of an elderly man, and there was a small caliber gun floating around the car. I picked it up, put it in my back pocket until police and ems arrived. Then I handled the gun to them. I don't know if it hit him in the head or not but it can potentially hurt the driver or any one else.

Alarm
 
I was messing with my car a couple of weeks ago. When I was done I locked it with the fob and noticed the lights didn't flash. I couldn't figure things out and started messing with the fob. Only then did I notice the passenger window was down. I put it up and relocked the car and the lights flashed as normal. I'm thinking if you try to lock the car and something is 'out of place', the lights not flashing warns you to check something.
I tried the 'locking the car thing' today with it running. (posted earlier in the thread) I had started it only to realize I'd left my water bottle in the fridge. Left it running, locked the car and went back to get the bottle. Cool.

I learned today that you can throw it into a tight right hand corner with less than 1/4th tank of gas and fuel starve the poor thing... oh wait....:driving:

MR.nismo 05-11-2015 12:18 AM

It can happen with as much as 1/2 tank of gas and others say it can happen even with more than 1/2 tank. It all depends on the degree and intensity of the turn. I'm like you, I have experienced somewhere around the 1/4 tank of gas mark.

Of course. - but if you have the need to carry one. Things must not be so well, that you have to choose to carry one. But then again like you said. It is people's choice.

I'm with you. I'm an old coot and have lived in Chicago,(of all places), for nearly 50 years and never once felt the need for a gun. Paranoia is taking over this country. Just got to be street smart.

There is no reason to lump law-abiding, responsible gun owners into the same category as irresponsible gang members :shakes head:

I live in NY. It's easier to get pot holes fixed than get a CC. And forget about anything over 1 round in a "mag"...

But you don't have to have a concealed carry license to be a responsible gun owner. You can own a gun in NY as long as you register it; Unrestricted Carry license requires that you demonstrate a need for the security. Texas, as you can imagine, is a bit less strict. It is perfectly legal for me to carry in my car even without a Concealed Handgun License.

Without a doubt a lot of it has to do with state laws and how local police dept react. But I use to carry a GBB M14 airsoft rifle and GBB M1911 S-TAC in my car. Both had clearly visible orange tips and were fully dismantled for transport. I was pulled over and handcuffed for 2 hours because the cops thought they were real and me not having my license on me to carry a firearm.
