hi, im planning on buying a 2004 350z but would like to know if anyone could tell me what may have been installed at one time to the red switches near shifter? just hoping it was not a engine stressful mod. seller does not know.

 

NO one will have a clue what that is for. That isn't stock though. I would say flip them on and see what happens. Under car lights maybe?

 

yeah i flipped them but nothing...must have been pulled out what ever it was, i was just hoping people would tell me it was def not something crazy that could void an extended warranty if i get one

 

most likely leds. where in nc are you?

 

charlotte, know of any trustworthy nissan service stations for tune up and tires? or a place that would add a bypass valve on a cold air intake? :edit: just realized Elizabeth City is way far from Charlotte.

 

it is very easy to remove the silver plastic panel that is holding the buttons and you can see where the wires lead to (personally I think its just some ricer ******** and its not hooked up to anything)

see:

pretty much:

1) remove the decorational silver ring on the bottom of the shift plate (comes out by pulling straight up)
2) insert finger/screwdriver/wrench on the gap where the silver ring was (if using a tool like a screwdriver or a wrench, try not to put to much pressure on one spot, or it might crack, instead use 2 tools so the pressure is a little more spread apart; therefore there wont be so much stress on one spot)
3) you will notice it kinda pop out (it has clips holding it in), and there will be a very delicate white ribbon wire connected to it, be sure you dont pinch/break this wire. From there on out you can see the bottom of these switches and see if theres anything conencted/etc

ejecto seato cuz!

 

^never been used lol

 

everyone knows those are the switches to turn on your twin turbo's


haha .. just pop off the trim panel and see where they go (if there even hooked up to anything)

 

yeah if i buy it i will pop off the panel and want to replace with a stock color one, also the hazard lights are not working but the turn lights work fine.

 

the switch use can be for anything!!!
Simply it is a switch for something to turn-on since there is two i bet those were for heated seat! goodluck but don't buy that z, look riced out to me

 

yeah i came to my senses, im walking away from it, i just want one so much and it was the first one in my area in my price range

 

aftermarket heated seats were my guess

 

Why did they paint it white...looks so lame.

 

what is a bypass valve on a cold air intake?

 

he means the bypass filter, the one that is suposed to help you when water floods the cone filter, thats my guess

 

Correctomundo!

It could be anything obviously its not stock. It could be for lights, nitrous arming switch, anything theres no possible way we could tell from a pic just offer possibilities thats the dealers responsibility.

 

It's to switch between single and twin turbo mode. My G35 came with the same thing but someone rigged it to be seat heaters. Now I have no access to my boost. I am teh disappoint.

 

just be sure to click them both on at the same time, or the car might pull..lol
