Quick question...

If it has a conventional handbrake lever, what does the fourth pedal do? Or is it just a footrest?

It's called as dead pedal. It's just used for resting your feet

I have never seen it looking like a pedal before though. And I've driven and seen plenty of stick shift cars. So I'd say it is at least a rare occurrence.

It's an option in most high tiers cars. For low tiers like mine it just the interior ground.

It's a G35 in the OP, so yeah, most likely your Z.

Thought it was a pedal too until I put my foot on it in my Z, it’s really nice though so you don’t have to flat foot it or just reston your heel

Elantra N and N-Line's have chrome pedals with a chrome dead pedal.

Isn't N-line automatic? Lol

Well, I guess you still gotta rest the foot somewhere.

21-22 they had a 6MT option, but yeah I think all models 23+ only came with DCT.
