Thanks Kdo2milger. All I have is this at the moment:
Duct Tape and Electrical Tape Definitely need to stop by Lowes for the long haul and for peace of mind.

buy pipe insulators, like the black foam stuff........ this issue is quite common to the G35 peeps, the repair cost came out of peeps pocket. dealership denied warranty on it and aftermarket companies did not pay up either.......

I had a similar problem on my turbo Mazda. I fixed it by cutting up a section of heater hose and zip tying it around the areas that rub. If you can't see the area this is a great fix - will cost you about $2 and last for years. If you can see it though you'll have to live with it looking pretty ghetto.

On my racecar, I constantly have vibrations, and stuff contacting other stuff. What I use, is this stuff called "rainbow packing" which is a gasket material used in the plumbing industry. It is readily available at Home Depot, comes in a ~5x5 inch orange square, is cheap and works great. I use zip ties to hold it onto the various hoses etc. It is a dissappointment to hear these issues.

Well I am glad at the least I was able to bring this to other peoples attention before it became a problem for them. Unfortunately Im gonna learn the hard way to the tune of $350+ dollars...lol! Oh well, I sent the pix to Stillen anyways just to hope that maybe it will help some how.
