Here are the pics of my Camera mount from the Head rest.
Very simple, cheap, and sturdy !
You just need to take some easy measurements and make sure the threads match up with the cam.mount.
Chris P....your's reminds me of my staircase ballaster !

^ Baluster -- I didn't know what it was called, thanks. 
But, yeah, that's what it is so it might even be the same one you have. I got it at Home Depot and just cut it in half. I like the spiral.

Today I got the exhaust welded and bought a couple gaskets....Thanks to Jake ! **.....I got some back ups...and bolted it all back together..... and it sounds great ! No leaks and great exhaust note again....I forgot how nice it sounds without some back wash gurggaling & popping. Pat, you wouldn't be happy ! Lol 
Also....on the Nismo exhaust, you don't have a gasket on the back end of the Mid-pipe.....there is an "O-ring" gasket attached and the Flanges are totally different from the front one that attaches to the " Y-Pipe "
** Just an FYI....Nissan doesn't sell the Nismo gaskets for the 3" - 2hole flange gaskets separately.....you have to buy a whole gasket kit for like $75 bucks ! RIP-OFF !!!! I just modified a VatoZone one for $4 bucks !

Nice Camera mount too - must be SO NICE to drive your car without it making any rasp etc - mine has that loose resonator thing and it is very annoying to me. Jake ftw too - he does a lot - he even offered to roll my fenders a while back etc - albiet he was tipsy .... when i met him the first time lol
Fith - any word on the motor mounts? engine torque is what i was thinking - if the mounts are "old" i guess the motor would move more both side to side and front to back - do you know if thats a concern?

I have an ingalls engine damper here - don't know its completely necessary to have - however i have no complaints about having it.
Oil Coolers -
I have friends that have bought SETRAB and said they were great to talk to and work with direct. http://www.setrab.com/oe-products/oil-coolers/
There are also
http://www.crracing.com/aftermarket-...ts/oil-coolers
I personally think that Earls and Mishimoto are acceptable - alternatives.
On a side note - many parts at Napa or autozone and work just as well - just look for OEM power steering coolers oil coolers etc - most just won't have the A/N fittings -

Chris - how do you know you need an oil cooler without having a gauge?
I'm not arguing the point, heck I think it's a good thing to have. I'm just wondering what led you to the conclusion.
