I can be there sometime around the afternoon, maybe later, I will be at UCF sorting things out for next semester, walk-in appointments are so accommodating.
I'm also going to ask as many NICO guys as can to come and help, the talent of these people are unbelievable.
I'm not very experienced in most of the things you need removed except for the maintenance work I have done on my 240. I also have a bunch of electrical stuff I can bring if you need it, such as heavy duty crimps/strippers/cutters, electrical tape, liquid insulation, crimps, and a bunch more electrical items. Also, if you list some of the exact tools and sizes, I can see if I have them.
I picked out some of the items I'm pretty confident in removing.
crawford billet oil cap
Project Mu rotors
Hawk brake pads
rims/tires
JDM pedals
JDM battery cover
*You better not be laughing
Finally, can we get everybody to chip in for a Snap-On guy, I know I will if everybody else will.

Hey my neighbour is the South East Sales Manager for Snap-On - he is the one i am asking for the tools ... so lets make a dream list and see what I can get! Yeah some neighbours are really happy to let you borrow tools

Thanks for the Welcome!
First, a snap-on guy drives a UPS style truck filled with all sorts of wonderful tools and specialty tools that you can call and have him drive over to your house. There you can use any tools you need, most of them you would never own for they are such things as a steering wheel puller.
Also, Auto Zone rents such tools as well.
Second, I do not own a G35 (I wish), I own a Nissan 240SX and have had it for about a year and a half. That's when my obsession of Nissan/Infiniti began
. Also, No I'm not into drifting, I prefer the tactile action of autocross, and gt track racing.
Finally, NICO is an acronym for Nissan/Infiniti Car Owners, its a National and International car club with over 30,000 members and host events such as NOPI (I know its NOPI, but it's also T.V. coverage.) However our cars featured there are non riced out tasteful examples, such as a Q45 that is faster than a Viper
. Alright, I'll stop talking it up now
.

Todd, Count me in as I am available anytime next week after 12:30pm (M, W, F) except for Tuesday and Thursday (after 5pm). I have a huge 2005 Ford F-250 Superduty King Ranch 6.0 Diesel 4X4 on 36in tires for hauling parts and pulling/yanking stuff off of your car

. Just let me know and I'll be there. Jason

Todd, I can be at your house Tuesday 1:30 in the afternoon to help out. We can load up the durango or my G and head out there to do the disassembling.
Clatch, you must be the guy who was following/helped Neff that day of the accident. Welcome to our forums and thanks for stepping up and volunteering to help out.

Yes, I was the guy who was right behind him, I stopped 5 feet short of totaling my car into his, when you see somebody come extremly close to death (the guardrail was on an overpass) you tend to feel the need to help them out as much as you can

DAMNIT!, I just bought Cusco A-Arms or we could have swapped everything from my car to yours. BTW go on car-part.com to find a non-brembo setup they had a bunch, remember you can look under 350z as well.
1. I can 'borrow' a bunch of tools from work. One of the perks of the job.
2. I need someone like DJNiknala to list what tools I'd need to remove the spindle, calipers (only 2 metric wrenches if I remember, maybe 19 and 22?)
3. The junk yard place opens at 8am and closes at 4 (or 4:30 pm) M-F. I'm going to try and see what I can work out but this will probably take a few of you to ask for a day off if you're gonna be able to help.
4. I am going to try to see if I can have them hold the car OVER CHRISTMAS. I know many people are off from the 21st on, so if we could get 1 or 2 full days of work in, we might be golden.
Many of the parts I might try to get off on my own, since most of you can only show up only a few hours before the place closes.
Hopefully, I'll find out more today.
BTW, 'Hi John. Thanks for stopping by and offering your help. I accept.'

Update: I just spoke with the insurance adjustor and they'll have my car on thier lot until December 23rd. I'm gonna need some BIG help with removing the brembos (I got the OK from the insurance adjustor YIPPIEE).
This means that I'll be removing the front A-Arms, Spindle, hub, caliper, rotor, pads and wheel and I'll be replacing them with OEM non brembo parts and a 350z 17" wheel.
Dan, I want those wheels and your calipers, pads, rotors. I may be getting the spindles from Jason at Performance Nissan.
I'm hoping to have the wheels and brakes off and maybe someone really generous with the right tools would offer to take a day off with me. Ideally, someone who's done this type of work before.
