I found the gauge sweep thing annoying and switched it off.

Do aftermarket gauges do it too? For instance, boost (if you have a SC).

Every sportbike I've ever had has done the sweep thing when you turn on they key on. Except for the bikes that had LCD segments in a bar as the tach "needle".

Tuners like UpRev have full control over the gauge cluster.. and can do wacky stuff like use the TPMS light for shift lights, and basically anything you wanted to do with it..

Is anyone else obsessed with this feature? Is there a way to get even more gauges in the car to do this? Or should I be seeking a program to help me with this problem?

Obviously your first Z. Yep, neat feature. (BTW, you can turn if off from doing this.) It's been around for many years.

So close your eyes.

All I read was the header, but the answer is yes.

Does it make me a bad person if I never even notice this in my own Z?

I too found it annoying and switched it off. It serves no purpose. I also programmed my alarm so as not to beep the horn when I locked the car. I don't want to annoy others like they annoy me when I'm walking through a parking lot and all the soccer moms are beeping their minivan horns. Some of these features are just plain annoying.

Does the 2004.5 Z do this too? Because if so, it probably does it way better.
