DIY Push Button Start MOD
I seen other Nissan/Infinit owners have swapped out or modded.I see the GT-R and all the other push start button just drop right in.I also see people have changed the LED lights in them and the Key FOB slot holder to better match the interior lights.Here is a few links to others and how it looks.I may try the GT-R start button.

wow thats a pretty cool idea, the gt-r button even looks like it would fit our maximas, since that g37 had it put it...Looks like a pretty easy DIY mod

LOL That's me at the G37 board. It was the easiest mod ever. Tilt the steering wheel up all the way, reach in the back with your fingers, squeeeeze and puuuuuush it out!
10+ hp!!! ;) Seriously... not sure if installation for the 7th Gen Max would be more involved like it is with the 370... if I had to go the route of the 370 install, I simply wouldn't have done it. ***EDIT*** NissanUsa.com to the rescue... it looks like the same install method for you guys too... :) |

Contemplating this DIY... although changing the LED behind the button with a red one might work just as well!

the hardest part is probably taking off the plastic pieces by the steering wheel, cause it looks like it just pops in

Can't we just change mayb the bulb for the color in ours?

IMHO, the maxima is a sport luxury car, but mostly luxury. This mod doesn't seem luxurious, it looks like something you would install in a NASCAR...or something designed by ACME inc. Kudos to those that opt for the creativity, but I will sit this one out. ;-)
|
Ok if i get a chance to actually enjoy this lil extended time off work I will take a look to mayb this weekend

this mod is awesome, but doesnt our start/stop button light up?, It looks like the GT-R one doesnt cause its red...Does it light up in your g37?
The only thing you may need to be aware of for the install is that the cable/connector attached to the back of the OEM button is pretty short. You may need one of those screwdriver pick things to reach the clip behind the button to unhook it: http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Fas...57/kw/hook+set The whole process doesn't even take 5 minutes. |
yeah, i saw this mod over at 370z.com (since my wife has a 370). although i don't think it'll look good in the premium level, it MIGHT look good in the sport cause of the red stitching in the leather(dunno the color of stitching in premium)
|
Just ordered mine! I like the look of the red button vs. the orange opaque stock ignition button. Should be a fun little project for next week.
|
I knew it was just a matter of time before this mode reached us maxima fans. It looks pretty cool. Where could I find the GT-R start button?

For those not liking the red gtr button then replace the SMT leds on the stock button like the other guys did in 1 of my links above.

Just ordered my GT-R ignition button from courtesy parts, cant wait till it arrives, I will post pics
|
I wonder If I could get my hands on these GT-R style paddle shifters, they're magnesium with a leathery edge, look much better than the plastic ones in my car now

hard to see the shifters due to the small pic.... BUT, the 370z has a leathery material on the back side of the shifters and i wish mine had that....wonder if those paddles can be transferred onto the maxima.
|
I can't the benefit to this mod since I can't even see the darn button from the drivers seat.

They are just like the 370z's paddles. They can be transferred 100%, it would be as simple as taking out a few screws, taking out the plastic ones, and dropping these nice ones in.

It's ok, I think this thread goes hand and hand with each other. Lets see where we can find the paddles at?Post links like i did and others with the push start button.

Unfortuantely they dont, Only 7 Gens with power steering columns, have them. Which are sport and premium and they already come with shifters. I already have paddle shifters in my Sport. Im just talking about swapping the paddles only, for nicer material ones, like the GT-R paddles. WHich are also used in the 370z, and all infiniti models equipped with sport packages.
|
any installed pics yet? The kit for the G37 non sport is around 400-500. Not sure if you can buy just the paddles not worth it if you have to buy all the pieces.
|
don't believe anyone's done the Button mod yet...they just recently ordered it, so i doubt they've received the GTR button yet.....
yeah, if the paddles can't be sold seperately, then i'll keep mine the way they are.... |
