Today i had to resort to booster cables but tried everything to move it to Neutral and nothing. I know theres that cap on the gears ( shift lock) so i opened it and then what? some cars have a button there that you press it and then you can move it to N but here there was nothing i tried pressing the inside with a thing screw driver but nothing was working.. Anyone have any advice?

I drive a g37x 2010 coupe.
The instructions might be in your owners manual.
Otherwise call AAA. They all know how to release the shift lever
On mine I just press in the clutch

Yes, I followed the instructions - it simply says use a tool to insert and start shifting. But nothing clicks when you insert the tool and unable to shift.
No reason to call AAA if you should be able to do this yourself.

Any other suggestions?
look inside with a flashlight. i dont know about the G, but on my Subaru you had to pop off the shiftlock cover, and there was a bolt inside that needed to be loosened.
When my battery died I was able to press the start/stop button rapidly to put the car in acc/on mode. Then i put my foot on the brake and shifted into neutral.
Not sure if it translates to the coupe or not. I have a '13 X sedan.
Anyhow this is what the shifter area looks like with the trim removed. That white square button at about 10-o-clock from the shift stick is what you are trying to press down through the slot. A key or small flathead should do the trick.
