I've been searching and it is difficult to find what I need. Which is part numbers. I want to replace a couple things on the G35 I bought my son.
I feel it was a HUGE mistake to buy this car for my son. Why? Because every time I drive it I want to tell him to start driving the Camry instead ... this car is for me! It drives very nice, and sounds great.
Anywho, my search sort of turns up these parts, in the for sale classifieds mainly (long in the past), but no associated part numbers.
A cover under the hood. Not the engine cover, but it's located on the driver's side fairly close to the firewall. From memory, I think it's covering the ABS. Now ... it is NOT needed. But I'd rather the car be complete. I've looked at OEM sketches for the part number. The sketches suck and I cannot determine the cover. Might be called a Ledge Cover of some sort.
This is a coupe, so in the RH back seat, the armrest panel. From memory, I can't recall if the part I'm looking for is part of the armrest, but say you have your right elbow resting on the armrest, and you push your elbow outward. There's sort of a soft piece there. Feels like it is leather (maybe vinyl) with a thin foam backing. At the top of that leather (or vinyl) piece, it is starting to pull out / gap. It's not something that can be worked back in. I've considered running some adhesive back in there and sticking it back together. But concerned it will look like hell. I guess I could try it first and replace it if it looks horrible. But ... does anyone know the part number of that piece, that your elbow would touch if you pushed outward?
I just got through installing a LUK dual mass flywheel and LUK clutch. Very status quo (which is what I wanted), but with actual friction! I pulled the radio out, disassembled it enough to remove a couple stuck CDs. Got it all back together straight, but still the CD player is toast. I may just replace the whole thing later. And the best thing is, I sent the cluster out and had the fuel gauge repaired. I ran it out of gas on the way home after buying it. And then my son ran it out of gas after I reminded him of the problem and TOLD him to gas up ... he still didn't do it. So he learned a lesson the hard way. So, it's shaping up to be a good G35 from this point.
And why the hell does the whole damn brake lamp assy have to be removed to replace a f'n bulb? What the hell were they thinking? Need to take a lesson from Toyota. Other than the quirks you guys already know about, I love the car. Wouldn't mind it being my daily.
For #1 -- you are looking for the JDM battery cover. The US domestic cars do not have a cover for the brake master cylinder. So people get the Japanese battery cover because it is right hand drive and things are flipped out, maaaaaaan. It will say "battery" but those in the know know there's really brake stuff under there. Several vendors here carry them. Do a search.
For #2 -- infinitipartsdeal.com has great resources for identifying correct part numbers. Diagrams, lists, blah de blah blah.

1. JDM battery cover
2. Interior adhesive (high temp), a toothpick, a small putty knife and some patience.
The last part: these cars are just fancy Nissan's, and there's no better way to make something look fancy than making it all one piece. That's why "luxury" cars carry high repair prices, cus working on something that doesn't come apart can be very difficult.

I'm down with your #2, because I believe I found that part after posting. What I found was ~$900. That's about $750 more than I would even consider.
How do you envision using the toothpick and putty knife? Just from memory, the top part is pulled out. It looks like it would never get "tucked in" again. But maybe the putty knife is to push it back into the "seam" where it seems to have come from. I would imagine the putty knife could make it appear to be tucked back into the seam.
Ya when I attempted to fix it on the front doors I did that with the puddy knife but the rear I got tired of them and just removed them to the smooth plastic beneath and used acetone to remove the residual glue.
