Well, if you buy the Automatic Transmission, no. lol

More seriously, I don't think that it is possible stock. But people have bought after market remote starters for their manual transmission Z's, some with disastrous results (remember, don't leave the car in gear if you do this mod).

Hope that helps.

Yes, bypass the safety feature!
Not recommended!

I agree. I still remember that video of that kid ramming his Dad's classic mustang through the garage door.

yeah i know about the auto engine start from remotes. its illegal in my state.

but i get lazy to have to sit in the car then get out if i jsut want to warm up my car :/
just wondering if theres any fuse or wiring that can be done to eliminate the clutch use.

In my state it is illegal to have your car running (warming up) without you in it due to car jacking. Of course if you lock the door it won't open if your key is far enough away. around here they just break your window and drive away.

The clutch can be bypassed. My civic's clutch is bypassed and I don't need to engage the clutch to turn on the ignition.

the nice thing about the Z is that the gauge shows what gear its in. with that said, find out which wire gets triggered when the "N" shows up on the display, and use that to flip a relay which will allow the remote start to activate. if there's no N then there's no remote start.

just duck tape the clutch safety switch down.

I've dealt with starting manual cars just for the purpose of warming them up, or for starting them while the hood's open. I simply sit on the seat with my right buttock and use the right foot to depress the clutch, wiggle the stick to make sure she's out of gear, and then swing right back out of the car. It's not hard to do.

That's the best way.

You don't want to bypass the clutch sensor especially if you have SRM. If you are doing it because of a remote starter then you can usually set it up to send a temporary signal which you would achieve by shunting pin 99 of the BCM to ground. Figuring out how to detect neutral (if you have SRM) would also be a really good idea to prevent you sending the Z through the garage door.

This is what I do as well. Specifically comes in handy when you are changing oil and all dirty. I can't imagine trying to get oil out of my almost white seats.
