Not that it would be easy for me, just saying it was for him. So there it is.

SPC Performance Camber/Toe Cam Bolt Kit; Pair, Reqr's 1 per Wheel INFINITI G35
Use a dremel tool w/ a 1" cutoff wafer, get a scrap piece of metal to wear the disc down a bit so it's smaller in diameter, this makes it simple to get in the slot and start elongating. For the toe slots you only have to elongate the inner side of the slot (the side that points inward toward the differential) this is where the bolt will rest. The camber slots also only need to be elongated to the inside since this will reduce your negative camber. It won't hurt anything if you elongate the slot on both sides (as per the template, it's just not necessary and takes more time).
Here's the install instructions & general info for those bolts

And here is those cutoff wheels I'm talking about, much easier than those cutting bits since you can get right in w/ the tool rather than having to use a flex attachment. Get a multi pack, you'll probably go through 4 or 5 of them.
When you elongate the slot just take your time and test fit the bolt several times as you go, you want the bolt to be snug in the slot, no slop. Make sure it turns without binding but pretty firm. Once you get the hang of it it's a simple DIY.

Two other 6MT owners drove my car last weekend. That moment of clarity happened within seconds rolling slowly out of the hole, followed by validation while shifting into 2nd, and an immediate determination to put this mod at the top of their lists.
I am not exaggerating. However, I am using big words.

I was wrong. But in this case, I'm very happy to have been wrong.

I spent about 3 hours yesterday doing the TWM STS install, and am on step 32 of 36. I'd have finished yesterday, but we had an electrician and a plumber out to scope out a couple projects and it pulled me away.
Anyway, a couple teaser shots of my undamaged stock shift **** and the TWM vs stock shifter assembly after removing the plastic cup.
I'll finish this up today, but probably won't have driving impressions until tomorrow.

Very cool. For anyone asking, the TWM is the one on the left. You can see how the geometry starts to make sense side-by-side.
Lego, my only worry about this mod is having the **** too low in the shift boot. In that context, have you researched bolt extensions?
Anyway, I'm pretty eager to see your follow-up posts and pics. You know that I want this mod, and I respect your opinions here, so... have at it, man!
The only thing I did with the car this weekend was raise the clutch pedal. Much happier with this position.

While I'm there, I'd like to get a new aftermarket **** as well. I'm looking at the two below.
John - which **** did you have in your 6MT? I liked the feel of that one as well.
TWM Big Type R (stainless)
Big Type R Shift **** | TWM Performance Shift *****
Nismo Ti ****

Had it for over a year now. Still love the way it feels in my hand while driving.
Connor, I used to like the NISMO ****, too. But that was purely from pics. When I had an opportunity to see and hold one in person, it was a resounding "Nope". Too narrow, two small, too awkward all around.
