13 Infiniti G37 3.7l crankshaft position sensor replacement

[u/DannyOceanic]

I am struggling big time here. I am trying to replace the crankshaft position sensor on a 2013 Infiniti G37x and I can't for the life of me figure out how to access it. I've seen videos that indicate accessing from above, but I've already removed the airbox/plenum etc but for the absolute life of me I still can't seem to figure out a good way to get to this sensor to replace it and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone who's done this give me some ideas? Is there better access from underneath? HELP??

What tool are you using? You just need a 10mm and an extension. Like what every video on yt states.

Hope your sensor is a genuine nissan part or youll be doing it again! Nissans are sensitive to electronic parts.
