Just thought I'd throw my experience for this weekend up here.
Check engine light came on with a noticeable reduction in power, but made it home. I did the gas pedal code to get the code out - P0340. Luckily my car is still under warranty, so it was towed to the dealership, where they pulled the code and threw the new part in there.
The car has only about 45,000 miles on it.

While in many cases I agree, on these parts in particular, (and some others, of course) if the OEM ones are good to begin with, then why do they so often need changing in the G35? I say save the money - the sensor can't be that much worse than the original.
Not surprising. Glad it's warranty for you. New camshaft position sensor part is about $53 at the parts store, or $105 dealership price.
