Push button start?

[zxequalslife]

I was wondering if anyone has replaced the ignition key hole with a push start button found on newer Nissan's? That would be pretty cool....... Or if anyone knows how it's done.

It's gay and I speak from first hand experience. No it wasn't my Z lol.

[zxequalslife]

lol, well if it was done properly it might not be such a nightmare. I guess it would be kind of pointless since you still have to put the key in the ignition unless you want to get really expensive for a button.....

It was done properly. But yes having to still put the key in turn it and then hit the button is just pointless and rice in my mind to each there own though.

yea I guess. I wouldn't do it to my Z but it's a neat idea though

Shenanigans. I don't think you would've made this thread unless you were considering it.

busted...

Well it did cross my mind but I was looking on the net for ideas on how you have to do it and you still have to put the key in the ignition, thats what I find dumb, otherwise I think it would be cool just having the key somewhere in the cabin and being able to start the car with the push of a button. Then again it would be a little akward having the button on the side of the steering wheel where the ignition is on a 300zx.

You dont have to put the key in, you could rewire the entire system and have toggle switches, but then your have to disable the wheel lock and at that point your car would be sooooo easy to steal.

haha some of you. all you need is a RFID alarm system. use only the module and RFKey and use relays to wire it up to the push button and to the ignition. when the RFKey is in range, the button becomes active.

The RFKey acts as a toggle switch that you would put in your dash, but instead it is wireless and fits in your pocket. you can wire it to anything in the car using relays. Ignition, door locks, fuel pump, oil pump, ect.. when the RFKey is in range the relays create an open circuit, switching the things on. when out of range, the relays create a closed circuit, turning everything off.

Same as the 2010 Maxima's "card" that does all that.

The "card" does really do all that. It is the module that controls what is happening. the card just turns the module on/off, depending if the card is in range or not (a wireless switch). the module has everything wired up to it, but you have to know how to wire relays to the things you want it to control in order for this to work.

you know what, ive concluded that it would be completely pointless to do this. it is a little ricey and a huge waste of time and money to push a button instead of turning a key....

[romeoridgee]

Im just curious on which wires would be tapped into. like this one push button has 4 wires, red, black, and 2 blue. the red is positive and the black is negative, but the 2 blue wires i think would have to go on the ignition and i think starter, im not sure though, has anyone done it?

[DCaff300ZX]

Holy Zombie Thread Revival!
As far as I know the push button start is still as unloved as ever before, except maybe on the uber-rice sites...

[C4ORCE]

I put a push button start on my Z31. My ignition was messed up and wouldn't start the car so instead of spending $$$ i spent about $30 and maybe an hour (yes it was done properly) putting in a push button.

Button was hidden well with no exposed wires and suited my purpose great. I did still have to turn the key to the on position to prime the fuel pump and unlock the steering wheel etc etc. I do think it would be kinda silly if it was done just for looks though.

[zswap0429]

Personally I think that if you did it right, it could look more luxury then ricey. I will be looking in to doing this for my z. In a way that doesn't require a key but also isnt easy to steal.

[zswap0429]

Well turns out I really do have to do this. The new z I bought was broken into and the ignition was destroyed so now it can be stated with literally anything. I used a dime. Lol... So now I need to figure out how to work this out.

[ThisIsSparTTa]

Ugh, sorry to hear it man. Car break-ins are the suck. I've had 2 smashed windows, and the third one on my DD...they ripped the sun-roof out of the car to get into it.

[zswap0429]

I didn't own it when it was broken into. So I really don't care. I just don't like my ghetto starter that I have now
