Hi guys, the shroud finally arrived from Japan. And as I promised, I created a video on how to install the paddle shifters.

The parts I got were the following:

1- 48487-1EA0A LOWER CLMN COVER HOLE COVER, LEFT
2- 48486-1EA0A LOWER CLMN COVER HOLE COVER, RIGHT
3- 48470-1EH0A LOWER CLMN COVER
4- 25549-JK000 Paddle shifters (used from eBay).

Awesome Job Marrawi! Thank you very much for finding this and going forth with the research and install video! +

You bet :tup:

Glad to hear that the harness is already there, this is a must have if you have a base

Does anyone know if the paddles in the Z are the same in an Altima or Maxima? Are they the same through the years?

They look different. (at least the ones I saw) they don't have the leather edges. but the infiniti ones looks identical.

https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart...n.php?II=14288 does anyone know if this would fit?

Paddle shifter will, shroud won't. I found the oem shifters cheaper on nissan part dealer websites. Its was around 280 for shifters, shroud and caps are about 55. Use the part numbers I listed with the video to search.

May I suggest painting your Z paddles black for a stealth look ;)

Thanks I just wish Nissan posted pics of the product and not just a generic blueprint for the shroud

Wanted to share this PM for others who may face same issues with ordering parts.

Heads up folks! Dealers all over the US are out of those part #'s. They are backordered and from what I've been told its about a 1-2 month wait. I guess all base A7 owners are using Marrawi's DIY. His DIY is dead on!! There is no way around it, you will damage them.
I ended up ordering mine from this Japanese seller jp-carparts.com based in Kyoto, Japan. Price was just about what we would pay here and that includes shipping.

0-60 attempt: half a second less w/paddle shifter! worth it!

Hi to all,
I finally got all the parts needed to do my install, I got the paddles separately and they do not have the install screws. What size screws do I need for the paddles and how many?

I actually don't have the exact sizes, but you'll need two screws and two nuts. The nuts were European thread which you can find at home depot. The way I did it is I bought a bunch of sizes and did trial and error. It'd be great help if you could share sizes when you get them. Good luck.
