DIY: Paddle shifters for base 2015
 

Adding paddle shifters to base 2015+.

I found the following parts which seems to fit (according to Nissan website) :

Paddle switch. Steering Wheel Transmission Shift Control Switch. 25549JK000

Lower clmn cover. LOWER SHROUD. Steering Column Cover. 484701EH0A

it sounds cheaper and easier to just move up a model instead of getting a base and adding paddles. :tiphat:

that's just me though.

In my car installing the paddle shifters, its works, the harness is there just get the paddles and the lower shroud.:driving:

dats cool. im sure there will be a lot of base AT folks doing the mod.

How much did the parts cost?

next project: installing the LED sidemarkers under the Z emblem on the side quarter panel, since the newer base models don't come with it :tup:

Got paddle shifters used from eBay for 130, shroud was 55.

Whoa -- nice! Great work! :tup:

My humble suggestion for the next mod:

I find I prefer the paddles for upshifting in general and for straight line acceleration, but prefer the gear stick (after this mod) for downshifting and driving into corners. I found it takes the shifter from being redundant with the paddles to a great second option.

Reversing the up/down makes it much more much more intuitive (i.e, "grabbing a gear" to go faster and "pushing away" to brake).

Thanks! Awesome suggestion, I'll definitely add to the list :stirthepot:

Can I ask if you know the part numbers?

.

Thank you for the update.
It seem like I will be selling those paddle after all ;) no use of them anymore!

Thanks. I wasn't sure if those were the only two. Appreciate it.

You are the man! Thank you!!!

Has anyone got an update on how easy or hard this is to do? Or a how info yet? Thanks-- paddle shifters are the ony thing I miss in my base--'cause I love the smooth ride of the 18" tires.
