big props to Z-Ya for the fantastic whiteline front bushing install. when in and out like butta! Thanks again buddy!

NO problem man! had a blast doing it!!


Was by far the easiest white line install due to using the aluminum press tool:
Aluminum Solid 1.5 diameter rod ~ about 1.5 inch tall:


There it goes:

Get r done:

Now the end one:


With this sharp edge (band saw cut) 1.5" diameter SOLID rod of aluminum the removal process took 5 minutes tops for all 4 locations!

New here. Do not own a 350Z yet, but looking to buy. Had a MKI MR2, some idiot rear-ended me though and totaled it. If things pan out in the next month or so I should have a Z.

A few of my friends own 350Z's, a lot more of my friends own Z32's, worked on those a lot over the years. For a year or so a mutual friend owned a GTR and I got to ride and drive in that for a while. Awesome car, he's sold it though to another local guy who I do not know. Met him once, Asian fellow.

Anyways, hope to meet some of you guys. If you see a wrecked tan MKI MR2 driving around that's me.

LOL! Yeah I liked my MR2, but it was getting old and needed some work. Has 212,000 miles on it now, still spins the tires happily. I STILL drive it after the wreck, 60 miles a day 5 days a week. It's never let me down, real champ. But having only 101WHP and 93 ft/lb torque is kind of a downer haha. The Z will feel lightning fast after that car.

I'll try to make it out to the autoX event if I'm not working this weekend. I'd love to learn more about the 350Z, although I've been lurking here a bit and reading up on sites like wikipedia, etc. More than likely getting an earlier model, but I want at least the Enthusiast package so I can get the VLSD and cruise control features. Eyeing an 05' right now, VQ35DE motor and not HR as I understand. I'm OK with the less powerful motor, as I plan to do small mods to it in the future like plenum spacer and standard stuff like intake and exhaust. But I'll save all that for later
