Welcome to the forum TreyZx!
Sure, brakes are easy. I'll add a clamp to my list of things to bring. You might need to resurface your rotors unless you have new rotors. Do you have any brake cleaner?

I was thinking of getting new rotors while I am at it. I can get some brake cleaner no problem.

So I have been searching the classifieds on the forum and can't seem to find anyone selling the Wheel Bearing + the Hub. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Does anyone know if the hubs at InfinitiPartsUSA are all I need? http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...=1&catalogid=1

Check the dealership vendors. I believe I got mine from Riverside Infiniti.

I may come, I've got a coupe middy to install (but i may get that done tomorrow hehe) but I could bring all my tools and stuff, I've got sockets, torque wrenches, spring compressors, jack & 2 jack stands, and some other tools. I'm also lookin' for an ECU reflash/Osiris tune if possible :P

I think it improves shifting smoothness for the AT. When i had it on my MT, I didn't notice any gains. I ended up putting mine in the trash-ola. Other MT drivers may notice a smoother idle, cleaner sound, etc...

Yes.. In Sean's kit there was a 9th wire (wasn't available on the MT kit) that connected to the Tranny.. That is what I assume created the smoothness in shifting..

good to know it's probably not worth the cash for a MT.

i know that it's definitely a plus for ATs, you're not going to get anything more noticeable than your headlights shining brighter, radio playing louder and things of that nature.. don't know if that's worth 150 to ya..

ok, I know I just jumped on this thread, but this one is a personal irritation of mine. grounding wires do NOTHING. And if you REALLY want a set THAT bad, you can MAKE THEM for less than $20. Hell, maybe a little more if you get fancy.

I have to say that I have a AT and I recently put on Black Betty's Grounding kit with the TB wire included and I have noticed a difference. I only paid $70 for custom colored 8AWG and I think it was worth it. On the AT G37's, a tranny lag kinda became normal since they came like that off the showroom floor. Heck even my old Honda Accord V6 AT coupe shifted faster. Didnt matter if you had it in DS mode or not on the G. Being that it was a cheap mod, I think I would definitely do it over again.
