Question I got a question..

I have a simple question, it may sound dumb to some of you. But how come some Manual 350z's don't have the buttons on the steering wheel, but some do. Is it just a newer year or what?

I don't know of any manual transmission cars that have shift buttons on the steering wheel. Some automatics have that feature but no manuals.

Buttons on the steering wheel are for Cruise Control and radio control in later model years. No buttons means a Base model.

Manual Tranny have boosts, so if you have the buttons on the steering, then control the psi, on/off with those buttons. It also comes with a bazooka. Press on the bottom right button, during rush hour.

Just a suggestion. Put a subject in the subject line like

Squeaking brakes

instead of

Help

Need help immediately


or

If you don't help right away I will die!

OH that! you need to press the button above the bazooka button. It'll suck in all the brake dusts like a vacuum. You need to empty the vacuum bag every 3days

The car has total of 6 features. You can choose whatever you want but you need to install a system like Osiris.
