I am sure someone knows but what is the storage pocket on the right side (passenger) of the center console intended for? For life of me I cannot figure out what would fit in there and stay!

 

Sedan?

 

REALLY? No one knows?

It's not much good for anything that I can figure out. Maybe some folded up facial tissues.

 

 

Maybe that's why they removed it for the 05+ interior. My only guess because I have no idea what pocket you're talking about.

 

I think he is talking about the upper dash flat compartment in front of the passenger seat (the console comment is what's throwing folks off). I use it for the owner's manual and registration/insurance papers. The bottom bucket-style glove box compartment is for the rest of the mess.

 

No, he's talking about the small, doorless compartment on the right side of the center console on coupes (03-05 only?). I'm embarrassed to admit that my V1 power cord is stuffed in mine, because I never bothered to hardwire it.

 

I'm curious to see a picture of this storage pocket, I don't think my '06 has one?

 

I was in the middle of editing my post to include a pic. ;-)

 

Are you talking about that little pocket below the cigarette lighter? I think that's where you wedge your pack of smokes.

 

Ok, that's not present on '06 5AT coupes. Never mind....

 

V1 radar detector?

 

I see. That's 03-04 interior. 05-07 got the updated dash. Makes sense as a pack of cigarettes holder; the Japanese are (were?) heavy smokers, and the V35 was the first time Nissan went global with the Skyline platform.

 

And remember, that's the side they sit on so the cigs are close at hand.

Another oddity of the cross-Pacific exchange: it took me the longest time to find the emergency flasher switch when I first got my 5AT sedan. It's precisely hidden from my seating position behind the shift ****. Not too great for quick deployment when you need it...unless you're seated on right-hand drive. Then it's in plain view.

 

Don't get me started on the radio, temp, and nav control ****. Perfectly in reach passenger seat, kind of a reach for left hand drive. They finally made the controls symmetrical on the V36.
