IIRC, the Solid bushings is for launching or under hard power, so that you do not get hopping.

But you still need the subframe bushing as thats the most important bushing for hopping IIRC

You have three mounting points, Two which you can see in the picture (which the bushings in that thread are for) and then the bushing on the subframe

All these bushings need a press to install IIRC, subfram bushing is a pain in the *** to install and you need the proper tools or it WILL take along time

I have a Subfram bushing(pictured below) but with the AT its impossible to get the diff to hop unless you had tires with a lot of grip, MT can hop really easily.



I wish I had a video of this, one of my clubmates in his MT was learning to drag and he was hopping like a B1ch, you could see the diff moving up and down like crazy.

Also Installing any solid diff will get you some gear whine in the cabin, I have a little in 4th gear at 30ish MPH but thats only when I can hear it


Edit: Check out this thread http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drive...mp-either.html that can show you the involvement of installing these bushings.

Just sucks though because I prefer CD's....then again I used MP3 discs and regular CDs are not FLAC quality so it's not much of a difference.
if your connencting the iPod to your JBL amp then the head unit's only role will be to output the remote signal to your amp to turn it on/off. hook it up to the amps aux input, not output and then keep the volume low when u play it. idk how much voltage an ipod puts out but both my JBL and Kenwood amps can only take 6v through the RCAs and then more on the speaker level input(high input). for better quality i would recommend the iPod AV cables, but the only thing w/ that is you will need to have a gain control **** if you want to have any control over your volume. but that will output a safe line level signal to your amp.

I had tried it but it didn't work. Since it was connected to me sub, all I got was those frequencies. I'm stuck with the radio.

I had an amp, but never hooked it up because I never put my Crystal components in the doors, because I never finished deadening my passenger door lol. I ended up selling my matching JBL amp so it's not like I can install them now anyway...unless I don't use a sub and turn the gain WAY down lol.

I decided to go with Semi gloss black. Is it okay to put a Lacquer clear coat over an enamel paint on my grille just asking?

The black is Dupli-color Acrylic Enamel Semi gloss black.

I researched online and most people say never put Laquer over enamel it pulls the paint is this true and if so what kind of clear coat should I look for to go on top of enamel paint? Thanks!

That's going to give you a gloss finish, not semi gloss or matte.

Hmm I'm so indecisive on what I want . If I change my mind on the gloss I'm thinking flat black then what clear coat should I put on top besides laquer? I couldn't seem to find a different one. Can someone recommend other clear coats with less of a gloss?

Thanks and sorry for being a noob. I have a diamond graphite sedan not sure what grille color most people go with for this paint color.

I'm leaning towards Flat black tho from what I've seen

So

my 05 Sedan is considered a compact, yes I can park in those spots at school which are always empty wewt!

I checked, the 08 G35 is considered a Midsize and not compact.
