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.

at the least they can put a warning notice on their instructions for future customers so others don't go through this experience and expense.
