Look at the name guys: "Whiteline" from New South Wales, Australia. This should be a no-brainer!! If I were still up near LA/North OC, I'd be all over this!

Send the parts up the Paladin Advanced in Vegas, we have access to plenty of Z's and can do the work there.

None of your business. Just drop off your car and go away.

Suspension parts. Especially if they have bushings they want to install and uninstall for testing (which is a big part of Whiteline's business), I could see 2.5-3 days is reasonable.

Man this should be a no brainer.
My Z is collecting dust in Socal, while I'm out of state.
Someone should jump on this ASAP.

Thanks to all those who have volunteered and contacted me via PM. One lucky owner has contacted us VERY EARLY and scheduled. The car is now at this moment at our R&D facility where we are testing new material to help improve bushing installation process and the high failure rates of the OE (stock) compression rod bushing (FYI, fix is radius rod to chassis bushing W83389).

We continue to back our bushing technology with a lifetime warranty and this exercise is aimed at fixing the problem with minimal increase in NVH. Although this exercise is relatively simple we rather analyze the problem and note how the arms move under dynamic environments rather than just test 'fitting' products, hence the need for 3 days. It is common to get vehicle alignment, take video of suspension movements, document, installation, alignment, and then updated video of supposed movements. That being said, we should be able to sign off on some pretty cool stuff for the Z, that is if you are into all the non-visible performance modifications

Thanks for all your interest and I'm sure we'll be needing more Z's in the near future for other chassis upgrades.
