Default Off-center steering wheel/gauges

Finally bought a new 350Z: Silverstone/burnt orange Touring. I lucked out and found exactly the car I wanted in storage, still in the factory plastic. I love it!

Everything about it is flawless save one odd quirk - the steering wheel and three central gauges seem slightly off-center a few degrees to the left; enough so that the wheel obscures my view of the speedometer's right side. The gap between the gauge cluster and the surrounding dash is uneven, with roughly 3/4" on the right and 1/4" on the left.

Is this normal? It's no big deal, but it would be nice if everything lined up dead-nut straight. Is this something the Nissan service guys can adjust?

Default for shifting?

I've always felt that the seat is offset slightly to the right, possibly because it makes it easier to reach the shift ****. I brought this up about a year ago. See HERE.

It always felt like the gas pedal was too close and the clutch pedal was too far to me... Is this what you are referring to Wayne?

It feels like for the gas to be comfortable, I can't get the clutch all the way in (comfortably). Whats up with this?
