how it works is we all drive to someone's house, everyone brings beer/food/whatever and we all work on the cars all day eating BBQ!
then in the afternoon we hoon like retards cuz we all wanna test out the stuff we installed. it usually ends up at a tim hortons somewhere before we split up and go home. tons of fun.

everyone here (and in our G35/G37/350/370 group) is super friendly and helpful. Id be glad to show you what i know as i've often had NO idea how to install something only to show up to a BBQ and have someone walk me through the install. CBEs you need a lift and a couple of us have garages we can swing by.

That said, i need help doing front BBK install. I rebuilt them (which took forever) but i dunno what else i need (some kinda bracket i heard?)

Im just looking to do and CBE install, front & rear sways along with rear end links. If one of you end up doing it and are willing to show me changing pads and what not that would be much appreciated. I don't usually work on my own cars except rotate tires but I feel like if I want to hit the track Im gonna have to do some stuff at home!


Edit: multi quote fail! galeforce, thanks for the offer as well.

Not sure if I'll have all the proper tools though. Should be fine as I have ratchet sets and what not.

Only concern is jacking the car and jack stands. I have 2 but haven't jacked up this car before and from reading not 100% on the placement along the rails with the standard U shape jack head.

If you have a jack and some stands we are good to go. I can bring my jack but currently my 4 car jack stands are under my Z I have two other jack stands but they are larger for trucks/suvs. Plus I worry about twisting frame or warping sh!t I wouldn't need to get your car that high I always over worry about bending or warping even the the littlest things I am super anal about it and always lift the car slow! Now that I think of it, it would be better if I had two jacks then I could do both front sides at the same time! I also use and will bring thick industrial grade rubber almost like hockey pucks to act as a cover for the jack stands helps keep the babies pretty.

EDIT: Might possibly replace a dent on the HKS muffler, what should I expect to pay?

I'm going to ask Velocity and Alphawerx, whoever gives me the better deal gets the business come summer time.

I'm afraid it rattle and shakes that it might scuff the rims, I'd do it old school IMO.
