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.

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.

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

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.

Actually, I think it's more complicated than that
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

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.
