hehe,
When I use my blinkers I tap the middle of the lever up or down with my hand which is holding the wheel in the vicinity, I could proably sese if you grabed the turn signal but thats putting your hand in a awkward position

Already been said but,
1- Airbag labels on visors (read them once, don't need to every time i get in my vehicle)
2- Golf bag stickers (i can drive, i can figure it out for myself)
3- Sunglasses holder (will not hold my XX Xmetal Oakleys)
4- Kneepads ( my legs are longer than 1 foot from foot to knee and i am not bowlegged)
5- Placement of the seat warmers ( they must have measured a typical arm and put them in that exact location where the elbow sits)
6- Cassette player (why not add an 8 track while they are at it with a mood ring shift **** that will hold up to 2 pet rocks)
7- Putting the Tach in the middle bay instead of the right ( when driving the hand goes in the middle top position covering the tach)
8- 2 cupholders in middle compartment (didn't we all open that up, pick it out and throw it on the side of the hiway on the way home from the dealership)
9- BS paint job (they buy their paint at Wal-Mart)
10- Big a$$ compartment behind passenger seat (put me in another sub and more power to the Bose)
And finally, WTF is up with using a big ole heavy frame? Isn't this the same frame they use on the Pathfinder? Why not use a lighter, race worthy, composite frame?

2) Buttons on the steering wheel - you mean the cruise control? I use mine ... the V1 is the external device that indicates when to turn it on. Ever drive from Las Vegas toward LA?
3) Inside trunk release - agreed. Even my fat old body could get out from the front.
4) The rear wiper. I could live without it.

sounds like nissan should be paying attention here! I have also turned off my headlights by accident,turned on my heated seat by accident! The cup holder is a joke, i have a 2000 audi a4 "its for sale" and the damn thing feels like i could sit a brick in it! Its really sturdy. Also the auto windows down with the keyfob is great,how bout auto up????? keyless go anyone?? I think its time nissan steped up!

The redline warning light and center cupholders, just take them out. The change bin would be useless if my small cell phone did'nt half fit. Sometimes third and fifth gears are worthless.

And the #1 most useless item in the Z is............................................
The clothes hanger hooks behind the seats.....WTF I think I could hang a baby outfit back there. I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet.
I like the cup holder in the dash and have used it everyday since buying the Z with no problem

So that brings up a question ... what part of the Z do you think is the most pointless? I vote for that cause I have never used it once. Other pointless items include:
1) The flimsey passenger side cup holder
2) Any buttons on the steering wheel cause i never touch them
3) The inside trunk release
4) The rear wiper
