G37 paddle shifters on M45??

[homeblue90]

thinking about installing G37 paddle shifters on the M....If infiniti has a paddle shifter kit for G35,FX50,G37, they should b able to fit the M right....Nissan Fuga has them...Im gonna give Riverside Infiniti a call...Telll me what u think

[EniGmA1987]

There is one guy there at Riverside who is very into modding out his Infiniti's and even goes to shows. I cant remember his name off the top of my head, but someone should be able to put you in touch with him there. If anyone knows how to get them in it would be him.

Can I ask, why?

cause i though it would b cool....all other new models infiniti's have it...why not put it on the M...

what exactly do u have to do to make this conversion? how much money we talking about here? is it worth the time? I am just wondering if it fit the bill that might be an nice update on the older model.

Riverside Infiniti is selling the g35,g37,fx50 kit for $245 on ebay....im hoping its a plug and play....i wish i had a picture of the m45 steering wheel area with the steering wheel removed so i can see if the harness are there....spoke to Mondo at RS Infiniti and he doesn't know if it will fit, cause no one has ever asked about it or done the mod....this is something we should look into..

got in contact with this turbocad6 guy from the InfinitiFx forum....hes gonna to the paddle shifter Mod for $500...my car would b the first 06 m45 with the g37 paddle shifter upgrade...

[homeblue90]

the fuga 450gt has paddle shifters right?....they can fit our car....the FX owners have the mod without any code ....so whats the difference? this mod was done successfully plenty of time...no m35/45 owner wants to try...so im going to b the first...but i know it will come out great...

The guy who performs this mod, has done over 100 paddle shifter for g35,350z and fx...he has his own shop in Brooklyn ny...im gonna take a sprin over there....the paddle shifter wires r suppose to be there already from what the wireing diagram shows

[mexillis]

just read some of the thread and cam across this portion

"I buy the same paddles as those to start with, but the g covers will do us no good.

I have recently developed a paddle retrofit for the 350z's & in doing so I have come up with a new design, a more universal design that will work in most Nissan/infiniti's including the fx. this is version 2 of my paddles. they are better because they are much easier to install, no longer even need to remove the steering wheel or airbag, so labor is cut in half at least... now the lower cover gets replaced with my new paddles mounted to the new cover, then just the radio need to be removed for wiring. much easier install, & They are also better because now they fit within the fx cover completely so the install is neater, really looks perfect now even if you stick your head under there & look for imperfections.. they also will cost a bit less too

will take a while for me to have these ready, I already have templates & stuff, need to get my plates manufactured for me, I'd say they should be available by spring time. they still use the OE magnesium paddles so they look the same, but the switch mechanism & everything else is new design, they actually work & feel better than the OE switch design."

Is this idea dead any updates?

I kno I'm a few years late but if you are still a user on this forum and you still have idea about the guy in Brooklyn who has added paddle shifters do you mind letting me know where is shop is located as I live in Brooklyn and want the same done to my M35.
