GTR start button

darli328 · 03-29-2013, 04:47 PM

Has anyone noticed that the 2013 370Z start button is different? It says engine on the button rather than the bezel around it like other years. As far as I know, the GTR button hasn't been changed. My question is does anyone know if the connector in the back is the same or did they change that as well? Anyone install a GTR start button on a 2013 can confirm the connection in the back hasn't been changed?

It's exactly the same. I've already done the swap on mine.

Here's the DIY in case you need it or haven't found it:

GT-R start button swap.

Thanks, and what color does the word engine light as? I would assume everything is still orange-ish...

Your recent threads shock me, because they're all not stupid questions, so keep it up!
As for the "engine" part being lit... It's not... And yep, everything else is orangish

Thanks dude, I hate being the f-ing new guy if you know what I mean. So, the engine part doesn't light up at all? I've seen pics of it blue on GTRs but I wasn't sure if they were modified or anything.

Those are all modified, like even on mine I changed all the orangish to red because I wanted it to look mean(er)

What's lit is still amber in color. I can't remember what all is lit up... I'm too tired and didn't pay attention on my drive home.

Can you confirm if the engine part lights up at all and if it does what color is it? I haven't installed my button yet but it looks like the word engine is supposed to light up. All the videos I searched on youtube show it lighting up, but half of them are in the different colors so I know somethings modified somewhere.

I'll take a pic here in a minute if it and post it.

That's odd, where and how did you mod it?
