Re: dashboard replacment
Man cracked Nissan dashes are a tale as old as time.
There's some companies that make dash covers for some models, but I'm not sure if that gen G35 is one of them. There's repair options as well (like flocking), but for best results, you have to pull your dash out completely.

Re: dashboard replacment
Yes, there are a few options out there for G35 dashboard overlays.
My G35 came with one from the previous owner, but it was not a snug or 'clean' look by my standards. Also, they attracted dust/pollen/dander/hair fibers over time so I tossed it, but in doing so ruined the dash more because it bonded over time.
The only real options you have are to replace it with a used but less cracked version, or pulling the dash out for a repair. Keeping in mind if you go that route to also inspect your heater core for any pinhole leaks or damage while the dash is out because they are also old and prone to failure.
