I have noticed in the last week or so that sometimes I have to press the brake pedal just a little bit harder after I press the start button for the sequence to begin. I don't know if it's a problem with the brake switch or perhaps the brakes themselves? It's not a big deal, but I did start noticing it lately.

As someone speculated on another thread, could this have something to do with removal of the Steering Lock Fuse or bypass of the lock?

That was my first thought, but, according to LMBmikeZ (see link above), the pause is present in cars that still have the fuse.

Have you checked the blinker fluid? Could be it.

Wait, what color is the Blinker Fluid supposed to be? I think someone put the wrong kind in my car, it is a blueish hue...

But honestly, I wouln't think much of it since it happens on such a random basis..

Thanks for the reply.

Since it seems to affect all 370Zs, not just those that pulled the SLU fuse, I'm not really worried about it, just a gnawing curiosity. I'm not losing any sleep over it, but would like to know why it happens.

In all honesty, I think it is something to do with some kind of software reset, maybe the ECU purges some cache or something; that seems like the most logical thing I can think of.

It is weird to not hear the unlocking of the steering wheel once you press the start button after the fuse pull. Perhaps it creates the illusion of a delay?

Reasonable theory, but there is a definite delay. Most ppl are reporting 1-3 seconds. Last time it happened to me, I was reaching to press the button again (thought I may not have pressed the button properly) when it finally started.
