I was exhausted by my job in the past 1.5 months, finally got a chance to post the paddle shifters installations on my 07 M35. I will upload some of pics, simple words and some reference from the other sites, so we may have some discussion then.

**For 05~07 Model, you have to shift to Sport mode and then can use paddle shifters**
**For 08+ Model, you can use paddle shifters in both Drive and Sports mode, the function is like other HR engine models of Nissan or Infiniti**
Firstly, you will need to get some things below.
- Paddle shifters
- Steering Column (Most challenge to get the suitable one for guys live out of Japan)
- 5-ports relay * 2 (Not necessary for 08+ model with minor change)
- One steering clock spring as spare.
Originally, I supposed to plug and play with the package gotten form Japan yahoo auction, it's from Y50 type-s which is only sold in Japan
Well, the final issue couldn't be overcome is about the combination switch, even I got one of left driving from M37, and follow the FSM for wiring, it's still not recognized by BCM. If somebody have experience on this, it would be awesome and easier.
Then, let's go back to the actual situation.
I happened to find the steering column of Japan Y50 model is such different than other countries, the middle section. It will give you more margin space to mount the paddle shifters.
I found some owners have done with this, but cannot put the power steering switch back to the original space, but not for me.
For Wiring (05~07 models)
