Message	I've now got 2 USDM Z32 and have bypassed the clutch/starter interlock on both. Put my foot on the brake, rock the shifter to confirm Neutral, start the engine. Only time I use the clutch to start the car is winter, when the starter has a hard time turning over a trans full of cold gear oil.
