02/21/2019 Update:

- Eugene says assuming everything goes well between now and this weekend (installs, fixes, necessary repairs, etc), he can have the blower back in the car this weekend and start test driving while checking for leaks, etc! -- Knocking on wood!

- I am going to pick up a used Crossmember Rear Subframe U Shape Stay Bracket for 2009 370z from a local shop.

- I am going to pick up some M8- 1.25 x 30mm flanged fully threaded bolts from Ace Hardware, since Eugene said he he drilled out and tapped new threads into the timing cover where the supercharger mounts onto. He retapped the threads and stepped it up from M6 x 1.0/1.25s to M8 x 1.25s. The only thing he needs to do is enlarge one of the supercharger bracket holes just a tiny bit, or the slightly large screw will not go in. And that he already has the screws from Nissan needed but isn't sure about the other screws/bolts. We will find out when the supercharger is reinstalled what is needed/not needed, etc.

- I am going to pick up everything I can from my garage and drop it off at Eugene's shop, since I am not going to touch these extra bolts / nuts / screws / parts again (Most of these parts are from the Red Z), I will give it to him to use for my car and anything unused I will donate to him to use for any future things he may need them for. My family be tripping about all these parts sitting in the garage so it will help me clear some space as well lol.

- Ordering a new Front fender Liner Splash Guard for the driver side because the last one I had got eaten up by my tire lol (dont ask...!)

- Ordering a new OEM [Rear Lower Control Arm] as Eugene said I need a new one

- I may also order a new undercover splash guard for under the car in case I cannot find it in my garage for whatever reason...I wouldn't be surprised if it is missing too since I am seeming to be missing a million other parts lately, Haha.

- Going to return my Optima Yellow Top Battery I bought last week to O'reilleys since Eugene bought me a different battery for half the price and says it is much better than the Yellowtop Optima.
