Not any big change. Just trying to keep this at the top so I will bump it from time to time and then delete my bump post (bump from today is gone). I'm getting very sick of moving and deleting threads on the same old crap.

I agree, it's a sticky but if it's not bold and at the top people don't seem to see it. I don't have enough control on here to make it full time bold and larger font so this is the best I can do for now. 
Hey Tim, I have an idea...
Why don't you make a list of the top 10-20 FAQs and put that in the first post right under the warning, each one linking to a thread that addresses the question.
There is a ton of good info in the first posts... unfortunately, it is still a "ton" and even though it's well organized, a lot of n00bs are going to give up and just make a thread.
Even if they don't read it, atleast it will give us one nice easy post to link them to.
A few FAQ I would include:
Does the 05/06 front bumper fit the 03/04? (or vice versa)
Are 03/04 headlights interchangeable with 05/06?
Ebay headlights?
Wheel/Tire questions
Where to get a (lip) spoiler?
What are my intake options?
What mods should I get?
Performance "Chip"?
Is this a good deal on a XX yearmodel with XXXXXX mi in XXXXXXX, XX ?
There, that's 9 right off the top of my head. I'm sure I missed a few though

bringing up something i asked a few pages back
i was told back a few pages that you shouldnt use teh 350 or coupe springs in the sedan struts, that you should swap teh whole lot over... maybe this quote should be changed to "springs and struts/shocks" not just "springs" ????
Q - What options are there for the G sedan?
Anything currently on the market that fits the coupe or 350Z will also fit the RWD sedan. BUT, if it is not sedan specific be aware that anything from the 350Z will lower the sedan 1" more and coupe parts will lower the sedan 0.5" more than they list. The stock Z springs will lower the sedan ~1" and the stock coupe springs will lower the sedan ~0.5".

Yes you can use Z/C springs in the sedan. The OEM shocks (sport or not) cannot handle it for long. Mine lasted about a year and started leaking. I replaced them with d-specs.
yeah thats what i mean. maybe make that paragraph a little clearer that its not recommended to only use the springs.. that you should use the struts and shocks along with the springs be it factory or aftermarket items
Thought I would ask here (bump the thread while I'm at it)
Are the 05 front calipers a direct bolt-on to the 03? (provided I get the 05 rotors, obviously)

How do I remove these clips to remove the grill? I've removed (and broke) the top 6 clips haha but the 3 inner clips, how the hell do I remove them? I'd like to do it without breaking them.
And how do you remove the top clips without breaking them? Any special tool or method?

The bottom ones are actually fairly easy. You just push them up (or down maybe) they're just a regular "catch" style latch.
The top push-clip things break all the time. Ideally, you want to take a flat-blade screwdriver and pop up the center part about 3/8" and the the entire thing should pull out... but it rarely works out that way. I just bought a ton of them off ebay and replace them as I break them.
Probably, the issue you're having is with the two weird square latch things on the corners... there's a DIY somewhere around, I'll see if I can find it. I'll also dig up that ebay link for you.

I've taken my grill on and off so many times it comes off very easily now. When it was still fitting really tight I believe I had to push down on those bottom clips and pull the bottom of the grill out. But before you that you need to remove the top clips as Ashley described and take a pair of pliers and and dislodge the two square latches the backside of the grill at the top on either side.
