I belive it's used when you adjust your head light's, did you find it in the hidden storage compartment behind driver's seat?

Headlight aiming tools. To be used by the dealership to align your headlights if necessary.

You need a part that is only available at the dealerships.

One of the greatest mysteries of the Z for new owners that pull apart their interior, the headlights aiming tools.

What is even more of a mystery is the fact that Nissan didn't even include all the tools in the Z, the other half of the headlight aiming tools are at the dealership, which most dealerships probably even don't have them anymore.

Yep, My buddy thought it was a headlight aiming tool.

But he could not figure out how it works or where it snapped on.

i assumed it was something to hold the T TOPs on, That would have been convienient.

The t-tops are held on by two metal rods.......
