Exclamation 2006 G35x Sedan has a broken trip odometer and driver airbag issue

I was wondering if there was anyway to fix my trip odometer without taking it to the dealer? It sounded like a spring or something fell out of place and don't want to take apart my dash if there is no point ( all inclusive Cluster) everything works fine in the cluster just not the trip. The odometer keeps reading but it is stuck on trip a and not reading any trip miles (stuck on 0).

also I have a driver airbag issue was just wondering what other people have replaced to fix this as the dealer told me there are three possible parts and they couldn't get anymore specific.
Any help would be great!

The cluster cannot be repaired at the dealer.they can only replace it.

"Ledmod" can probably do this for you if it bothers you that much.

Since the introduction of mandated "water-based" paints, paint jobs have pretty much doubled in price. There's not much way around it unless you want a crappy job.

Unfortunate.

So according to dealership I have an exhaust part that is rusting and needs to be replaced.
They called it the "muffler exhaust flange r"
What should I do about it?

Edit:
I guess I can answer my own question. Easy Exhaust Flange Repair on '05 sedan, muffler to mid-pipe (saves $$)

I was hoping I could ride on this as an excuse to upgrade the back end of my exhaust but it seems there's a cheaper fix

For our cars what is the best staggered set up for 19" rims?

I found some wheels that only come in 9.5". I've read that on the earlier coupes the front and back wheels were both 8" wide, but that the tires were staggered. Would this work well on 19" rims and would 9.5" wide wheels perform well?

Thanks

For a 1inch drop the Revised Z Springs are a popular setup, and cheap.

There's no right answer to your question dude.
Firstly, if you're looking for performance, 19" rims are NOT the way to go.
Secondly, performance can mean straight line, auto-x, road course, or just spirited street driving. All of these have different tire/rim requirements, but no matter what you do, a bigger diameter rim will always hurt your performance.

Trying to decide between FSTB's. Looks like GT spec and NRG are the biggest contenders.

I'm probably wrapping/painting it anyways, so the finish isn't important, because of this fact, do you guys think it's fine to just get a cheap ebay one?

GTSpec & NRG would be $200+ Shipping to canada, etc, probably at least $250 by the time they get here.

Or an ebay one (F1, etc) shipped to my door for under $100.
