I have read elsewhere that the blank spot at the top right of our automatic consoles, ahead of the shifter on th epassenger side, is the JDM location for a transmission "mode" switch, i.e. a sport/non-sport mode control switch.

Has anyone discovered whether the harness in the US-spec car will support this? Anyone looked under the console for a connector? I would very much love to be able to effectively switch myself out of "granny mode," and I know I'm not alone!

I also figure others have wondered about this same thing. Anyonehave a definitive answer?

Regards.

 

i think but im not 100% sure that it is were teh VDC should go on JDM G35s. Not a sport mode.

 

That is for the AWD version, it is the where the button goes for switching it to snow or sport

 

It's not for a sport mode, it's for a winter mode. Not quite what you're after.

Hmmm... are you all referring to the same thing? I ask because:

I think the blank is present on all the AT consoles from the beginning of the US introduction of the Skyline

There is a switch present in all the shots I have seen of JDM Skylines

I thought the 4wd Skyline was a new model... are you referring to the switch placement for the 4wd car? Are you saying this applies to the 2wd cars as well? If it's a winter mode switch for 2wd AT cars, then why don't we get the switch/mode as well, since winters in the Northern US & Canada are at least as harsh as anything in Japan?

Still interested in any info. thanks!
