I got one of the first G35 Coupe's available in my area (Nov 2002). It a Silver 6MT NAV Areo. Since then Infiniti has made a running change to the center console to add a arm rest. This is really a good addition but the factory part will not fit the older console (mine). The cost to upgrade to the newer console with arm rest is......well you might want to sell the car and buy a new one. Is anyone aware of a place where I could buy a arm rest that fits in place of the current console lid? Note: the lid on the older style console is pretty far back on the console.

 

don't know where you can buy one but know this: the armrest on my 6mt which is padded is pretty far back, too. either you have the driver's seat way back or it's virtually unuseable in my opinion. might call riverside (calif) infin or grubbs infin (dallas). only suggestions i have for now.

Thanks, I live in Charlotte, NC and I've had the dealer actuall order a center armrest pad from teh Jan and later models and try it but the mounting is completely different and the actual console on the newer models is actually shorte and different in design. I gues what I need is some kind of custom pad. Since the original models didn't have it and there aren't that many of them...I'm probably out of luck but I thought I'd at least ask the question.

They have the center console retrofit kit for the 6mt...

 

I have the newer 6MT center console, the armrest is perfectly positioned, it is NOT too far back, its just perfect enough for my elbow to rest on it
please remember that you have a manual gearbox and your arm needs to be positioned so that you can shift to any gear instantly
