Can I also use this torque wrench to tighten the bolts needed for the motordyne spacer install? Aren't the 19, 20, etc mm too big though? Where would the smaller ones be?
Oh wait, it's probably universal with the smaller sizes correct?

I also bought this http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/tools/pw1.jsp to loosen the wheel nuts instead of the crappy one that Infiniti gives you. This extends and gives you the power to loosen the nuts with EASE.

Hey thanks now we are talking!
-Need Torque Wrench
-Need 21mm thin wall socket
Questions:
Now I already have a lug wrench do I really need this one or is the $8 worth the price?
What brand are these?
Is this the cheapest place to purchase this stuff or was it just convenient for you?

Does that answer your question? heheIf you already have those cross (star) ones at home then maybe you won't need this one. I've used the oem one, star ones and this gorilla lug wrench and this gorilla lug wrench was by far the strongest of them all.

Supporting your car by the diff? That would scare me. I was able to support the rear by some bar-looking things just in front of the rear axles... part of the suspension... I wish I knew what they were called

You can raise the car from the crossover section in the front, and the differential in the back. Found this link with a quick search: https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...highlight=jack. Post #5 has a link to an image showing you the jack points - and, it also shows jack stand adapters for flat-type jack stands. I wasn't able to find these adapters. Hell! If anyone knows where to get them, let us know! I'd pick up a couple in a heartbeat!

I use it on the saddle of my floor jack so it seats correctly on the jacking points.
