No you don't by the way. But you do need a lift for other reasons. And the G3 on the 370z you need to cut make a bit of a bigger hole for the intake to go through which didn't have that either.

When I first got my Z, I had the Gen3s installed by a shop (now do most/all work myself) and 1.5 years later, my AC line busted. I called him on it and he said the same thing, not his problem. I bought the part from Nissan and was going to do the install myself, but decided against it d/t the refrigerant. Now my AC line is wrapped the way it should've been!

My advice to those willing to do their own work is research how to do the repair, know your limits, buy tools/manuals for the repair vice paying someone labour and get intimate with your Z or what have you. For me, it's a great feeling doing it myself and I know it's been done right.

Not meaning to hijack, but I took my car in finally to have the new steering lock module put in. I told the service adviser that I had removed the steering lock fuse, to which he stated he would notify the certified technician.
I got the car back and I noticed that the steering lock unit was as quiet as when I had the old one with it disabled. I double-checked the fuse box and the 10A fuse wasn't in there. So in all, the "certified tech" overlooked a seemingly obvious issue which I had to find out myself. Who knows if the freakin' new module was ever put in... |

Exactly! And a few scars on the hands, cuts, bruises, splinters, burns. God, it's so fun to work on your car!

you're better off in my opinion to just leave the fuse out. I believe revD is the version they are using to replace the old faulty models and it too has a few recorded failings on the forum last I checked. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Nissan has stopped installing the steering lock in the new Zs anyway. I never bothered getting the lock replaced, I pulled the fuse and I will never have to worry about it, ever.
