Hello,
Quick question, will this shifter work on the 2005 G35model? I have a G35 and tried to put on this shifter but the button is too hard when pressing it? I removed the inner blue piece (white in your picture) as it was too big to fit inside the shift **** assymbly and tried applying electrical tape, but still the button is stiff when pressing...any tips?

I spoke with the dealer and they told me i need to replace the whole shifter assymbly (what haters!). They told me this b/c I cut the black rod to lower the shfiter.

Should i just go back to the original shifter or any tips to make this one work?

please help,
David

 

OH MY LORD.

So i thought i was incredible and could do it all and followed what you did and lowered my shifter with the M45 **** ....


all i have to say is....... HOLY CRAP!!

i have never ever ever taken up anything so difficult in my entire life the cutting part easy, the grinding sanding part easy.... getting that white piece trimmed so the **** button functions properly IMPOSSIBLE.

after a whole day of trial and error and endless fitting i got it pretty close to perfect. it looks amazing feels amazing but NOT WORTH THE WORK!!!

for those out there thinking of doing this... do NOT ! stay away!!! just do the M45 **** and call it a day!!

 

haha...omg...im so happy you posted that b/c when i did mine a month ago i though maybe i was mentally handicapped or something. it was def a b*tch, but i think was worth the frustration b.c it looks damn good.

 

it will probably be worth it in a month when i'm staring at that beautiful lowered **** and all the frustration is wiped off my mind but !! lol. but yes i agree 100% looks amazing.

 

I have an M45 shift **** for sale. PM me.

 

I got it fitting great in a 05 g35 coupe..
had to saw a bit of the metal part off to get the **** to click down at the notch where the original **** used to. but other than that. the stock boot and fits perfect.

 

how much does the m45 shift **** cost??

 

50? i forgot how much i paid for mine....make sure it is not the newer shift ****...those look ugly...08 i believe looks nice=-)

 

is making the m45 shiftknob as low as it is stock on the M's possible on the 2nd gen G sedans ?

 

i tried using the serated stake knife but couldnt cut the grooves. any other cheap tool anyone used to do this?

 

I am surprised that didn't work as that is what I used with no issues.

 

Sorry for the thread revival, but looks like jason is not active on the forums anymore. Does anyone know where I can get one of these shifter *****?

 

Rick @ Riverside Infiniti has some

 

any help on how to make a 2007 shift **** fit an 03 im going crazy over here lol

 

Anyone in washington wanna make some money by lowering mine when i get the ****. Im not too good with cutting stuff. Better at electrical.
