I've never noticed it but maybe that's just because autos don't really roll back on hills anyway. I'll have to find a steep hill to find out. My Tiguan has it but it's DSG so can roll back slightly. I have it disabled because I don't like it - it's just a switch in the centre console in that car.Hill start assist is on the 9ATs, too. Isn't it? The manual implies that it is.
My wife's auto SQ5 has this feature, and I like it on that car.
SQ5 uses the electric handbrake to operate the hill start assist. Z in manual uses the ABS module to hold brake line pressure from the pedal when the clutch is depressed. Little bit different in operation, curious to see if its in the AT9 and of course how it knows to operate.Hill start assist is on the 9ATs, too. Isn't it? The manual implies that it is.

Right, the Z doesn't have an electronic parking brake, so if the auto really has it, I guess it'd use the ABS method as well.
Mine is going in Thursday for the factory stripe. I was also thinking of a matching silver side stripe similar to the the orange Fairlady. Love to see your pics completed decals.
Just ordered that plate
Ordered the stripe kit today
Getting that side stripe custom made in white except it will say Nissan Z
Also tinting the windows, will post shots when everything is done.
PS. I may continue the white stripe all the way back, my graphic designer is sending me some pics tomorrow so I will decide then.
Looks fantastic, great I idea on matching the trim. I already ordered the factory strip so I'm hoping my shop has a similar color match.If you notice the factory stripe is way too subtle, its actaully silver not white.
My graphics guy is going to duplicate it in the same silver as on the roof trim and then the pin stripe that runs next to it is going to be made in white. That way it will 100% match the nissan logo with silver and white and that will show nicer on the blue.
Same with the door stripe, I am taking it all the way across with the main stripe in silver and the lower thin stripe in white. It will say NISSAN Z on the door like in the orange pic above.
I am also adding two stripes to match the roof on the front chin, gonna mock that up first though.
Really rough... NIssan and the Z (no circle) will be on the door.
Best mock up until I get the real pics
Really? How long did it take to read the poorly-indexed 800+ page owner's manual and the 250+ page NissanConnect manual just to see "what's there."
My comment about there "not being much there" is from playing around with the actual menus in the car, which was faster than reading the manual.

Maybe supply chain issues mid pandemic forced decisions, just a thought
I love the car but here are some of the things I wish were.... hmm... different.
- I wish the exhaust had a bit of a better rumble, hopefully I can find a way to fix that while preserving those remarkable tailpipe tips.
- In Canada the car has only one reverse light and the other side (left) is a red foglamp. There are a number of things that bug me about this and first and foremost is everyone tells me I have a reverse light burnt out. I thought that even at delivery. I wish I could change that.
- The red rear foglamp only utilizes two of the leds instead of all of them and they sacrificed an entire rear backup light for that. There would have been room for both on the left.
- The backup camera actually sucks, and I mean it sucks, the quality is pathetic.
- I keep getting a message that the front sonar is disabled due to abstruction even though there is no obstruction. Recycling with the ignition fixes it for about 15 minutes. Happens mostly on hot days.
- The car uses a standard gas cap, I'm going to go capless as soon as I find the right one.
- No wireless phone charging and no wireless android auto. I remedied the latter with Wireless AA Auto
- No front parking camera, I cannot tell you how much I wish it had that.
- Both front left and front right dashboard/door area have slight rattles going over bumps.
- Red lights inside the door are not functioning as actual lights when the doors are opened, seems to be just like on Hyundai. It looks like a light but does not light up.
Other than that.... I love the car
Yes the blue interior and yes my plate covers have a slight blue tint.
PS. This is my actual car:
