Thanks, brother. Keep in mind that patches, done right, last forever.

Yeah, I knew everything would be A-Okay when you said Colin was going to look after it.

Tightneded up my rear end link (on the left side), was a bit loose, had a 'clunk' noise on uneven surfaces and when turning slow (easier to hear then).

Going to take the car to Seb (who's awesome enough to give me a hint on what the noise was about, sure enough it is now gone) on Tuesday to have the bolts checked for proper torque.

Thank you CARKIT!

Easy install! Peace of mind for that issue is obtained!

Im sorry I waited so long to do it. I had Rev E. This morning my frau told me while she was at the gas station in our Z, a gent pulled up and explained, his 2009 Z suffered the dreaded failure just this morning!!

A careful and polite reminder issued to me to install the kit Ive had for a couple months! Done! If you have one dont procrastinate like me

As Arnold said " do it, do it now"

Magnetic drain bolt came in the mail. Oil change, here I come!

Also, just picked up some copper washers and an in-cabin air filter from a nearby dealership (I really love the dark blue color available on the 2013 370Z, but man those rims are fugly IMO

- I think 2009-2012 base OEM wheels looks better and the 2009-2012 sports pkg rims are absolutely beautiful in comparison)

You can get them all over the place. I got mine from here. It was about $20 w/ shipping, but I got it mainly for the color (I wanted black or grey - not red

)

Just make sure you get the correct size: M12 x 1.25

what's wrong with red? lol you can't even see the plug because of the undershield.

Which do YOU prefer?

Sorry for the derailment... I forgot this is ON topic thread. In addition to the magnetic drain plug, I stopped by the dealership and picked up a handful of copper crush washers and an in-cabin air filter.
