Parts

Tunnel carpet is NLA (No Longer Available) from Nissan in the USA, Canada and Japan.

AUS: Knox carpet fits the automatic tunnel, is a bit large for the standard manual transmission tunnel and will gather about the gathers at the sides near the doors. Fitting an extra layer of insulation will help.

AUS: Trufit

USA: Order custom carpet from ACC in Alabama http://www.accmats.com/Products/Flooring/Material.aspx

Insulation

From the factory, only the tunnel had insulation, a jute type. Additionally there are some asbestos heat shields on the floor.
