I really appreciate all the posts and helpful advice. As much as I would like to do everything myself and save a lot of money on labor, I unfortunately don't even have experience changing my oil. So when it comes to cars I don't really have any experience doing work on them.

I guess I will start calling around and getting my suspension fixed.

 

When I was looking into changing my springs and shock, a local shop quoted me $350 to do all of that work. So you can see how your quote to replace one shock is outrageous. I decided to do it myself and with the help of a friend and saved myself enough money to buy a plenum spacer

 

How is it broken, and how did it happen?

 

Not sure, that's what the dealer told me and the tech wrote that it's broken. Could it be due to aggressive driving ??

 

That's nice , I'll have to ask a few buddies to see if they can help me out to save on the labor.

 

g35driver and youtube are WONDERFUL teachers and many people will also tell you their horror stories so you will know what to look out for! my 350Z and my G35 have been my first cars i actually got my hands dirty with and im happy i did. a lot of things turn out to be quite easy and since people are so afraid of touching cars you will realize why others charge out the *** for such simple tasks. knowledge is not only power, its money

Im almost postive that you can do this...

 

I'm gonna say all the flushes and fluid changes! Then drive easy and go from there. Thats what I personally would do from personal experience.
