I'm sure OP is a mature guy ( judging by his profile info "retired") and being serious and asked a legitimate question. If he asked this question in my350z or other Z forums, "go search noob" or "facepalm" "let me google that for you" etc are typical "expected" responses. But on the370z, I thought I have worked hard to keep my forum different than those other ones . We want to keep a friendly environment where we welcome everyones questions. EVERY TIME, I welcome a new member in the "Introduction" section, I clearly tell them "Please feel free to ask any question you have and we will do out BEST to answer it". If this is what they get when they DO ask it, then i must say "I'm disappointed". If it's a new question, try to answer it. If it has been answered before, point them to the right thread/post. It's very frustrating when you ask a question and it turns into a big post fest with no real info in it. This is one of the big reason I opened this forum where you can post a topic, get the answer and you don't' have to deal with off topic/sarcastic replies that you get in those "other" Z forums.

Well said AK - I do not mind the fact that the OP is asking for advise... I just mind how quickly people are ready to jump on his throat. I always felt this place was different than the other forums I frequent (or should I say have frequented)... I just hope and pray that this place never turns into one of those. We are here to help educate ppl about our cars - show off our creativity and help others learn - we are NOT here to make ourselves feel better about someone else's shortcomings...
