I think it is number 1 (maybe a little of number 2 but more 1).
It seems a lot of the bolts are color matched, I have found orange, blue, yellow, I think red at one point.

Yessir. The driver's side to be exact. Make sure you disconnect the battery and mark the position of the steering linkage before you remove it. That's pretty much the only thing you need to remove besides the air intakes.

You are going to have one helluva time getting those bolts off unless you have the car on a lift.

I hope tony has some sort of magic helping force because its a shame I wont get it before the 9th of next month since I wil be taking part in a "race" setup by my dealer between GT-Rs,370s,lambos,ferraris and so on.

It will be delicious

also it will be in francorchamps

Garage on stands, put some blankets over fenders and front, if you crack that bolt of the extension gives you quite a jolt, dont want to slam your paint work, I was within a nano meter of this ;-0

yeah im definately taking my time and having a buddy help me. I'm installing suspension this week as well so im planning on the car being on stands from tonight thru the weekend. I find if I spend a few hours on something and its not going my way, its better to walk away and try again tomorrow. Thankfully the z isnt my daily driver.

We are working on 4 sets right now. 3 for the 370 side and 1 for the G37 side. I will have them all in the mail Monday. I will give an update over the weekend...

We are still on track to have close if not right to #20 done by June 1st...

Thanks for the patience...
