Being out of warranty, I was just hoping that wouldn't happen to me in the future.

Good info here on resetting/recalibrating things with pedal method. 350Z is the same for G35's:

'04 Coupe 6MT, 42,000 miles.
Oil was not that bad on the actual coil pack like the youtube video shows however if you shine a spot light down in the spark plug tube can can see oil pooled up about level with the base or nut of the spark plug. Calling Infiniti of Roswell right now.
Edit: Just got off the phone with the dealer. You would think since I'm in Alpharetta, GA and G35's are like civics around here (# wise) that the dealer would have seen this issue. I just spoke with a gentlemen in the service dept. and he said he has never seen one do this. He's 'checking things' and suppose to call me back. I think my warranty is up July 31st. Hopefully I can get new valve covers as well.

I know I had a tiny bit of oil on my spark plug threads when i changed them out.
I've never really cracked open then engine besides the plenum...

So I took the car in @ 7am today.
Was ready to be picked up by 11am
-1 new valve cover on drivers side
-1 new spark plug
-1 new gasket
They loaned me a new G35 sedan (AT). I must say that car is peppy! Automatically rev matches for downshifts. Impressive improvement over my Bose sound system. No sweet exhaust note though and personally the interior wasn't any nicer to me than my current.
I wasn't thinking because I should have put some dirty oil in the spark plug tubes on the other side to go ahead and get that cover replaced. O well, I'm only at 42k so I'm sure they'll be seeing me again to replace the other one. Only cost me $10.00 for the loaner car fuel allowance.
Props to Roswell Infinity of North Atlanta. Awesome waiting room with free food and drinks. Good service.
