Stopped by The Nismo Shop yesterday in person and picked mine up for $32. I was on my way back from picking up a spare G37s wheel/tire from my friends house. He got me the Spare and tire for $150. I was like WTF dude, the wheel alone is like $754.55 and the tire $300. He was like "Yeah well when you own a tire distribution company you get connections." "Besides you're a great friend of mine." I was stoaked. Went back to his place for the game, beers and his wife had cooked dinner.

Install was way to easy. Took me less than 2 minutes total time. :yesnod

Wonder if there's any place that would do a custom job on the button. Have the "start stop" replaced with a different image.
I have a request to have the start be replaced with PWR (for power). Not sure what I'd get the stop replaced with.

Hey guys new to the forums. Just wondering where u guys got the best deals on the button, much rather get it for 30 something dollars than 50. Also some pics of actually installing one would be awesome, just so I know exactly what to be looking for.

The price has been jacked up due to demand. It's 100+ on ebay now with shipping lol.

On my list of some OEM parts to swap onto my A/C.. so far, the only other thing I want is window visors from Nissan Canada. Looks really good.

SO do you pull out the entire chrome shroud? I'm trying to pop it out with a credit card, but it won't budge.

Yes the whole unit comes out. Try a screw driver wrapped in a cloth to prevent damage to the chrome. Just pull on it, it'll come out just enough to disconnect the plug from the back. You'll find it looks perfect with the amber interior!

did you guys disconnect the battery? I don't want to scare my car and have the immobilizer shut off my car.
Just got the button!! can't wait to put it in! (just my tool box is 3 hours away... i have a flat head screw driver and thats it. so if i need to pull the battery then i'm out of luck until a week or two)

Not necessary. But always a good rule of thumb when dealing with electrical. You'll be fine, its a simple plug and play. Make sure you use a cloth between screw driver and button shroud!
