Pulled mine as well. Takes longer now for sure but I guess that's just how it goes lol that or steering locked up on you!

I've driven my Z with the fuse in (before the fix), with the fuse pulled (also before the warranty fix) and with the fuse back in, after the warranty fix. Sorry, but I notice absolutely no difference at all in any of those scenarios.

My experience to a T.
After doing the "mod", I pushed the button, experienced a delay and thought "hmm, that was weird" and chalked it up to just me being paranoid about messing with the car's electronics.
But now it's consistent.

I think I'll get the SLU replaced on my next trip to the dealer.

Have you tried the GT-R start button mod? That thing suppose to get your car started faster thus eliminate the delay.:rofl2:

Maybe this is why I have not had this problem. I always start the car before I have both feet in usually.

He is already pushing the red start button. This is the real issue. :roflpuke2:

taking notes... start car with one leg out the door... check.

wat happens if one of my wife's leg's out the other door? would it start before i press the GTR button? :confused:

Naw. She might stop traffic though.

adding note.... leave wife at home... check!

2012 Nismo. Seems to take a second or so to start. I think it's perfectly normal. My Z06 ignition was slightly quicker to start, but I don't think it's any big deal.

I said this in the beginning when I made the "remove the fuse thread" the 2 are not related!!!

I had a starting delay on my 2010 w/fuse installed ,and now have a delay once and awhile in my 2013 Nismo with no lock at all.

Okay...
So to answer my question;
- No, it's not just me. There's an intermittent delay in the car starting up when the start button is pushed.
- Yes, it's just me. The intermittent delay in the car starting up when the start button is pushed has no correlation to pulling the steering lock fuse.
:rofl2:

Either yes or no. You nailed it!

Actually, I think it's more complicated than that :icon17:

It is just him in that it's not related to the steering lock, but it isn't just him because numerous people have the same experience (myself included) that makes it seem related to the steering lock, except that it is just him because there are people that have the same experience who haven't pulled the fuse or don't have a steering lock at all. So really, it's both yes and no :tup:

After I pulled my fuse, I gained 20 HP and my wiener got bigger. The resale value on my home went up too. No difference in start times though.

Then you definitely outdated. The new Nissan SLU Gen D unit gains 50 HP out of the box. No pulling fuse required. It sounds badazz too.:tup:
