Sweeet!! I can't wait! Hope your New Year's celebration was fun :meeting::beer::drink::highfive::band::BBQ:
I want to show something "How is it to put the female terminal into the connector". This is not a real installation.
Important: There is not inculding white connectors in my bracket kit! (This connector is just a sample. )
Price will be higher , if the kit is inculded connectors.
Release the cover of connector ! Just a little!
Take out the front net cover, then you can see correct side of the terminal.
Put the terminals into the connector from the back of connector

Hi Rex! thank you for the update and a quick how-to for terminal installation.
Just so that we understand, you will provide the white connectors with terminals and wire for connection with the paddles but the other side to control box will just have female terminals? Also is it possible to get the same wire colors as OEM like in your photos above? I believe down-shift (left shifter) wire is green and up-shift (right shifter) wire is orange. And I guess wire for ground can be black for both or orange-white and green-white? You probably know this already

Hey guys, havent been on for a while but saw this today. In doing a quick search it looks like part of the bracket can be bought from the dealer. I don't know how hard the install will be on that part alone. If this works, you will still need to find a way to mount the top/front of the shifter but at least this one mount will line the shifters in place. Might be as easy as drilling and putting a bolt through it.
Part 8:
Look Under a 2010 FX50 for parts

Part 8:
I actually looked into this myself before and the problem is the front top mounts do not exist and there's no metal there to drill either. My steering column is apart and I can show you photos if you like.
I was thinking of buying that OEM bracket myself and welding on the top front mounts, problem is, the bracket isn't thick enough to prevent flex in the bracket itself. That's why OEM the front mount is on a thick plate welded on the shaft of the steering column, that would be the main support of the paddles, the bottom bracket is just a support part.
You could possibly reinforce that bottom bracket by welding extra pieces and add the front mounts.
When I spoke to my parts guy here in Canada, he said that part number does not work..not sure if it was phased out but I did see it available on Infiniti parts websites in the US.
Have you tried calling the dealer and asking if its available?
Oh and depends which year you had, some have the front mounts, just not this bracket so you're golden there.

I don't know if this is new or not. This is what one EX guy (LGmobile) did on the NICO forums. But instead of making your own bottom bracket just purchase one from the 2010 FX50

Here's a few shots of my 2012 Steering column, as you can see the front mounts are trimmed off. Thanks to Infiniti's efficiency program.

The EX steering column is designed differently, they have a way to create the front mounts but there's no bottom bracket available and there's no steering column cover available that support paddles. You have to make your and its not as clean.

Looks like the bottom bracket is non existent. And you do have that metal plate as the EX. You might be able to buy the bottom bracket, that will give you the side mount. Then just take your steering wheel off, as the EX guy did, and drill two holes (one on each side) into that metal plate you see there.

I wish it was that easy but there's two problems...first the mounting hole from the paddle does not come close to that bracket and secondly, I wouldn't want to mess around with taking the steering wheel off, disconnecting the airbags, etc.
Here's two more pics showing how they align. The paddle is aligned using the bottom steering cover that is bolted to the column and the cover screws into the paddle. This is how it would look put together.

i see the problem now. :good:
Hi, SCY7H3
I am so sorry! I only have a female and a male connector. And, connectors are patent products.
I am not ready to provide the white connectors(male and female) .
They will cost more money. If the bracket kit with connectors will make the price higher over $150~180.
That' why I post the terminal installation.
Originally, I use green wire for shift down and red wire for shift up(not orange wire)
If you think orange wires is better, I must buy new orange wires.
For black wire, it coulde be connect to any metale body.
Like this, screw black wire under the A/V monitor.

Okay...so now you're changing the kit to not include the paddle connectors? If I'm not mistaken, you did indicate this was included in your post above for the price range of $100-120... I don't need the connector to the A/V box, just the paddle white connectors.
Of course, the kit includes paddle shifter connectors .
But, it does not include connectors of the A/V box .
Price : $100~120.

Ah okay I thought you didn't include any white connectors.

As long as the paddle connectors are included I'm happy, the a/v would not be needed as we have it in the car already

Hi SCY7H3,
Are you going to be fitting the F-51 ****** body kit that you have pictured? According to the ****** sales guys....
"The body kit consists of 6 parts
- front bumper
- rear bumper
- grille
- net and DRL
- lining on the doors and arches
- sills
The first kit was installed and functional and it went into production it will be ready in 3-5 weeks that is why we are doing pre orders now and then the prices will rise. "
