Default 350z Features

I know I will probably be flamed and shot to hell, but i'll attempt it anyways.

I just bought a 2003 Touring Z last week, and am slowing finding out the cool little features. For example holding the unlock opens the windows, and things like that. I AM reading the user guide, but I was curious if there were any other cool features that are a bit "hidden" that I dont know about.

Thanks

There are several cool hidden features not in the owners manual. But if we list them here, they will no longer be a secret.

If you hold down the gas button it will open the trunk.

Inside the passenger's side glove box behind the seat, there's a false floor inside with a small compartment underneath it. It's a good place to hide dope.

Don't ever put coffee in the small front cup holder. It will own you by spilling all over your radio on the 1st bump you hit

Or a gun for gangbangers! Although I used it for my Z manual.

Starbucks owned my factory Bose Stereo too. The buttons would stick when ever I'd push them. I had to get Q-tips and solvent to clean the tiny crevices out.

A small pistol fits snug directly infront of the seatbelt do-hicky, on the right hand side of the driver's seat. Slide faced down and place it flush against the center console. Easy access holmes.

On each floor board, under both seats, there's an indention in the floor. It's a perfect size to hide an XM tuner. If you carpet the tuner the same color as the car a thief will never realize it's there. Of course, I'm talking about the tuners that are hard wired into the HU.

I liked discovering that the little cubby in the driver's side door is exactly the right size for a tube of suntan lotion. Very strategic design for a roadster.
