So I have this weird toggle looking switch on my center console and I have no clue what it does. It's in between my fasten seat belts and rear defogger emblems. Wondering if anyone knows what it is for/ what it does?

Might be the power antenna control.  What year?  A picture would be great. Edit - of the car and switch.

It's hard to see in this picture but I'm away from the car at the moment so it's the best I can get the little silver thing

It seems to be something someone added on.  I don't think that Nissan used that kind of switch knob either.  

I got the pictures from the Owners Manual.  http://www.xenonzcar.com/s30/ownersmanuals.html

p.s. You should fix your "Z".  It's not an N.

 

 

 

I've tried it won't screw on correctly I fiddled with it for an hour or so

You can install a washer or two under the knob to get it to line up. I had to do the same.

Thank you for the tip I'll try that!

I agree that the switch is probably added on by a previous owner.  It's not an uncommon thing to happen.  You will have to trace the wire from the switch to wherever it ends up.  There are some really good electrical guys on here, I'm not one of them, that might be able to help you.  I'm sure they will chime in soon.  Pictures will help a lot.
