AutoZone carries the OEM blue Nissan relay. Personally I have NO problem with aftermarket relays. I've used every shitty chinesium brand you can think of and they last nearly as long as a seimens, ABB, Eaton, Cooper, sq.D, etc.

OP be aware that for the camshaft position sensors and crankshaft position sensor we highly recommend OEM as there are tons of members here who have had issues with aftermarket replacements for those. Cheapest place to order them I have found is Amazon. If your car has more than 100K miles be prepared for them, especially the cam sensors, to go out sooner than later. They're both really easy to DIY as well.

Thanks you too for the reply!
Cleric - sounds good, I got the aftermarket relay going to install today.
bluedream - I changed my passenger bank sensor like a year ago and I did follow your advice for those parts and only used oem sensors since I read people ran into some problems.
i tried to take off the screws attaching the fuse box yesterday and I had no luck. Combination of a weird angle and not getting a good grip on the screw made it unsuccessful. I used a socket wrench which wouldn’t even attach to the bolt and a philips screwdriver which attached but I couldn’t get the screw to budge. On a previous thread some guy said to use a flat head screw driver so I’m going to try that today. If anyone had success could you share with me what tool you used. Thanks!

Ahhh sorry I read your PM first then came back to this thread. I think it's a 6mm socket to get those screws off, don't use a flat blade you'll never get enough pressure to keep from stripping the head out.

SOLVED:
PROBLEM: My fan didnt blow out any air, regardless of having it on heat or A/C. No air at all. Searched around and found out it could be the resistor on the blower motor (which means whole blower motor needs to be replaced) or the blower motor relay which needs to replaced, much cheaper. You can get a relay for about 35 bucks at o'rileys or autozone.
SOLUTION: Started out by checking the blower motor relays which are located by the driver side by the pedals. I took off one relay first and checked if my fan worked and walah! It was running again.
Here is a helpful thread that shows the location and the steps to take it off: https://g35driver.com/forums/general...ml#post5631244
Make sure you read every step carefully and do what it says because I skimmed it over and I thought I was good to go but when I started it was frustrating because I missed some key details. Things to look out for: 1. make sure you use a socket wrench to take it off and use an extension but not a real long one because its a hard angle and limited space. 2. To unclip the bottom two clips use a flathead screwdriver, insert the screw driver in and push it up to detach it. 3. Also make sure to move the wire that is attached to the right side of the fuse box or the box wont move.
