Ok, So you know what the problem is and it would cost you $800 from the dealer. You've got couple of options. Try to search on ebay or other online parts store to find cheaper or go to the junkyard and buy a used one from them. Installation shouldn't be a biggie. We are talking about the seat.

Just my thought.

Did you check to be sure nothing is jammed or caught in the track?

Watch how the passenger seat works and then carefully check out the drivers seat

sounds like the motor is bad...take a hammer and lightly tap on the gold motor piece under the front of the seat while pushing the slide button on the seat

I also had the problem of the seat not going forward and back in my G-35X. The left side tried to move but the right side was stuck. I ended up taking it to the dealer and they said they would take it apart and replace any defective parts. $1,127 dollars later I have a new seat track assembly. I requested the old parts and last night I spent 3 minutes taking the drive motor off (three screws) and found that the nylon drive gear on the right front side of the seat had a broken tooth. 2 minutes later (including time to get my wrench in the garage) I removed the nut holding the gear on the worm shaft.

Infinity does NOT make any replacement parts available, even parts designed to wear and break like nylon gears, and the consumer is forced to spend a fortune when a $.50 part and 15 minutes time would have solved the problem.

Let the buyer beware!
