Hey guys,
just giving a general word of advice / heads up
When purchasing touchup paint for your Z from Z1 Motorsports be sure to make sure the clear coat is not paint.
i purchased passion red touchup paint pen and found it had metallic gray paint inside instead.
i let Z1 Motorsports know...
It was difficult and a long process but I also got a red Z performance 6MT red interior after 2 years of waiting - found in Quebec, transported to Ontario last year :)
Thanks! It wasnāt easy for me either lol. My dealer didnāt place my order because they were waiting for a red one to be built. I grew frustrated then someone here posted a Facebook page for a dealer in Quebec that just got one (cancelled order I assume) so I flew there asap and purchased and...
it took 2 minutes with the engine running on idle but it worked! Engine stalled and died, after flipping the switch back the engine started.
I donāt like that potential thieves can drive it a short distance before it dies so I am VERY interested to kick it up a notch and cut fuel at the...
Im back!
and confused
I cut the green wire and tested the switch and ⦠the car still started?!? Is there a secondary fuel pump keeping the car going? Will driving it eventually cut fuel to the engine and stop the car? Iām at a loss here :( no idea why it didnāt kill the engine
Yes this is primarily for anti-theft. Where Iām from (Ontario Canada) auto theft has become a big issue recently, so Iām trying anything to deter or delay a thief. Iād be interested in the custom tuning however I see your shop is located in the great state of Texas , hoping you have something...
Thank you so much!!!
May I ask how you found out? I tried looking for wiring schematic diagrams but no luck!
My worry is I accidentally hook up the switch to the float sensor instead of the fuel pump relay
thanks again !
Welp.... you're right. All Canadian trims (performance + sport) get 8 inch screens. Sports US trim gets 8 inch while Performance gets 9". That explains the wireless. Ignore my co-workers' conspiracy theory.
Sucks to be Canadian...
Checked Nissan USA website and confirmed it.
Where as...
I work in vehicle manufacturing engineering for Toyota, from what i hear from co-workers it's a licensing ploy by Apple and Google. They restrict certain regions and trims on who can and cannot have wireless Android Auto/Carplay.
in this situation Nissan did not pay for the Canadian licensing...
Yes it's true, my dealer contacted Nissan Canada Reps and they confirmed. I'm just as confused about it. It's the same hardware same touch screen same display size, just no wireless
Congrats again!!!! Itās a great feeling!

before you rip your hair out trying to connect wireless android auto make note of this (I texted my dealer):
Hey @StrikeS30 don't forget the winter mats!!!
also have you decided what to do about the front license plate install?
for mine, i told the dealer not to mount any front plate holder. I am currently keeping my front license plate on the dash, but it makes a rattle when i drive :(
maybe...
CONGRATS!!!!
with all the attention you're getting invest in a kill switch! Buy a faraday box as well for storing your keys at home. Car theft is out of control in Ontario.
i'm looking to get a kill switch installed for myself, just need a good spot to keep it
Thank you!!! Thatās all the reassurance I need. Iāll try to figure this one out , it shouldnāt be too difficult now knowing itās possible and available :)
