Most likely, since they are factory parts, they will not void the warranty... Unless something is damaged during the installation, then there may be a warranty issue, BUT, most likely, since it looks stock, and the dealer most likely will not check to see if your car has them on to begin with, it will not effect the warranty...

Not to mention these are factory parts! If there is a problem with the paddle shifter switch its self, it will be covered for 1 year 12,000 miles!

If you go to a dealer complaining about a rattle in the stearing column and it turns out to be from one of the new panels being loose / not snapped into place, then it may not be covered...

Jason, I'm sure others will agree. Thanks for putting this kit together so quickly and making it available to all of us non-sport owners.

Viguera & turbocad6, you rock for getting the install done and showing everyone how easy it is and the fact that the G is pre-wired for paddles.

Everyone else, Merry Christmas, hope you have a set of paddle shifters waiting for you under the tree.

I agree. Big thanks to Jason and Viguera.

Also, special thanks to turbocad6 (John) who actually did the installation for Viguera and posted the step by step instructions.

Looking at the pictures, looks like pedals mount on the colum. Is it posible to remove colum cover and install pedals with out removing the wheel?

It seems like that COULD be possible... but I think the wire connectors for the paddles might be where the airbag connector is so the wheel probably will have to come off.

No. The paddles mount on supports that are part of the column, but the wheel sits on top of the whole thing.

You can't even take the column cover off properly without taking out the wheel.

There's no "airbag cover" -- it's all in one piece IIRC. When you take off the screws and pull the airbag out, it comes out all together. The cover with the Infiniti logo and everything.

And the wiring and connectors, so don't break nothing.

sears, snap-on dealer... some auto parts stores maybe... online somewhere I guess too... if you got patience you can drill a hole in the tip of a regular t27 too I guess as a last resort
