Exclamation paddle shifter installation issue

hey guys, for anyone who has done the paddle shifter installation themselves, i have a few questions.

the kit didn't come with the bolts and nuts i need, i didn't see in the instructions it said not included until i was done taking everything apart

where do you get the 6mmx10mm bolts (ace hardware maybe?). also, i couldn't seem to get the paddles on the bolts to make sure it fits, because the steering wheel is right there.

according to Infiniti G37 Paddle Shifter Installation, you don't need to remove the steering wheel which is awesome, but im having a heck of a time getting them on there.

any help would be appreciated!

hey i just did this mod about a week ago. super easy. I didnt follow the DIY that required taking the steering wheel off. theres one on nico that you just turn the steering wheel side to side. if your working on the right side turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the right to get clearance same for opposite side, same for putting the pieces back together. Worked just perfect for mine. instant fun!

As far as the missing bolts and nuts. yes you should be able to pick them up at a hardware spot.

good luck. hope that helps

i bought the paddles off of a local forum member. but i believe riverside infiniti has an ebay store. and a vendor here on the forum sells them. i believe they range about 250.

from my research on the forum most/all come pre-wired. you should be able to check if you come pre wired. this is what i followed:

Infiniti G37 Paddle Shifter Installation

most of all this stuff has already been answered in other threads

OIC Infiniti has good deals on them in every color and most G's can be done. Just remove the plastic trim and if you have the wiring harness tucked in the bottom then you can do it.
