The final numbers...

Front Toe: -06* for both

Rear Camber: -1.7* for both
Rear Toe: -13* for both

I will be the first to bite! WTF with the front camber difference and your toe

I got a new steering lock module installed.

My service adviser said it is the newest part which is mostly updated. It costed around $900.

I hope the steering lock issue would not happen again.

Rev D is still prone to failure. They removed the lock entirely on 2012+ model years - that's why you don't hear about failures much anymore. Pull the fuse or cut the wire or be prepared to deal with it again in the future

He told me that all year models of 370Zs have the steering lock module installed, but it seems like he was false if your comment is true.

I really hope the issue happens again, but personally I don't want to touch my car because I worry about how if I mess it up.

Thanks for the info.

Put on new differential bushing today. Wow, it made a huge difference. While it was definitely not easy, it was well worth it.

Nope they definitely stopped at some point thougnim not sure the specific year. Mine doesn't have the lock at all. Instead of directly fixing the problem they just removed the issue.

Believe it's about half way through the 2011 model year they stopped installing the damn lock.

Last week I installed a Kenwod dnx573s, some evo-r carbon fiber trim for it. (To match the cf I already have around the shifter and on the door switches) and a backup camera. Today I installed a RJM clutch pedal! A lot of it was very easy but a few things were pretty frustrating. I definitely need to adjust the settings on it some more, but it's definitely a whole lot smoother than stock. And just the fact that I can say I need to make some adjustments to it is pretty cool.

Red GT-R start button is arriving from Z1. I (with some help from the sun) removed my 370Z emblem on Saturday so my plan is to install the start button and also work on the "ghost" emblem left from the debadging. The paint was a little rough underneath the emblem so I need to do some touching up.

You'll have to let us know how the backup camera works. That's a cool feature on the double DIN.

In the last 4 days: 4 new Michelin Pilot Super Sports and 1500 miles (1200 with the top down)in 3 US states and 2 Canadian provinces including Canada Day with friends in Manitoba. And, I still have a week on the road. A baseball game tonight, and an anniversary tomorrow. Life is good!

Update: Back home and here's a few numbers and thoughts- A total of 2872 miles in 9 days. 5 states.. 2 provinces. 350 milers on interstate including a 200 mile 80+ mph run. (You've got to love Montana). The balance of the trip was on 2 lane roads and city. Close to 2400 miles with the top down. Average of 25.8 mpg. With the outside air temperature pushing 95F at times the oil temp never got above 225F includeing the 200 mile, 80+ mph interstate run at 98F. The Michelin PSS are a great touring tire as well as being sticky when you need them to be. And, yes, you can back 9 days worth of needs for 2 adults as well as a Lowe backpack for camera gear in a 370Z Roadster and still have room to spare. Now, back to work Monday morning.

It only cost me supplies, the painter and I swapped a little work out. Occupational benefit
