Clutch pedal would return (up) only 2/3, not last 1/3. Clutch plate appears to work fine, no slipping. Trustworthy mechanic says there is a TSB on this issue; replace clutch pedal assembly with redesigned OEM. FOLLOWUP: My mechanic loosened the pedal a little and the problem went away. No replacement needed.

Code P0340, "Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Bank 1 or Single Sensor". Replaced passenger-side camshaft position sensor, the problem went away. Part: Carquest CSS1594, $90. Spent $40 for mechanic to pull sensor since it was stuck. 
Oct 2017

96038 mi

US $300
Replaced TPMS sensors. Symptom was always-on "low tire pressure" warning light on dash. Earlier symptom was "low tire pressure" warning light turning on after 25-30 minutes of driving. Based on date code, the removed sensors were originals from 2005. Replaced with Denso PN 550-2302, ordered from Rock Auto ($250 next day delivered). Tire Kingdom charged me 1/2 hour ($50) labor to install at same time as putting on new tires.

Symptoms: Rumble-y noise over rough pavement, clunking sound going up or down curb at driveway, cracks visible in rubber bushing on compression rods where they connect to the frame. Replaced with Beck/Arnley PN 102-6616 and 102-6617, bought from Rock Auto for $145 total. Installed myself. Used lots of PBlaster to loosen rusted nuts/bolts first. Had to use impact wrench to loosen nut holding compression rod to the frame. Took about 4 hours of work time (no lift), plus several hours in between for consulting youtube videos and forums.

Replaced OEM clutch pedal with RJM Rev 4 AFP Pedal. Original pedal was binding and returning only halfway, especially during spirited driving. This was getting worse over the past couple years. The RJM pedal is AWESOME. Not only is it easier on the leg, it is smoother to engage and disengage. It is also adjustable, but I used the recommended "75" setting.

Alternator was overcharging. Replaced with AC Delco 335-1306. Works fine, but it is noisier (whine) than the original factory part. Code P1272 (Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Bank 1 Circuit, no activity). Replaced oxygen (O2) sensor, upstream of catalytic converter. 
Dec 2019

118260 mi

US $500
Pinion seal on differential housing was leaking. Replaced seal. Also, rear differential mount OEM fluid bushing was leaking/empty (had been like that for a long time). Replaced all 3 differential mounts with urethane bushings. Less wheel hop, tighter engagement when shifting, but some whiny noise is noticeable transmitting into the frame when under power. 
Sep 2020

121930 mi

US $100
Replaced ABS pump relay (with Nissan part 47605-C9900). Symptoms: After rolling (10-15mph), ABS/VDC/?? lights stayed on, heard a whirring noise in master cylinder area. Isolated to the ABS pump (via tactile vibration). A second time it happened, a tap to the relay box made it stop, as recommended by G35driver forum entry. Indicative of electromechanical relay in box going bad. This relay turns on the ABS motor briefly after startup and roll to check it. If stuck on, it could burn out the ABS motor.
