The blue collar was never moved. The steering shaft is indexed (keyed) to go into the knuckle only one way. That's where I'm having problems. So I got to make an appointment for the dealer. Thank you.
I'd be highly interested to know what went wrong then - according to the tech, doing it the way you did should not effect the steering at all. Very curious to know what Nissan says...

Big thanks to Tony, hats off!!! Bravo!!! This is hands down the best exhaust I have ever seen for just about any car. The craftsmanship and fit is amazing. The sound is unbelievable for only a 3.7L v6. My Z sounds so much better than my neighbors Ferrari F355.

I have had Stillen, HKS and Invidia and none hold a candle to FI.

I've seen and heard plenty other exhausts - None are comparable to the FI in either looks or sound, and/or Fitment !!

My exhaust should be shipping this week! Question though:

Is there anyway to get to the demon bolt w/o lifting the car? I'm thinking about trying to soak it a few times in PB Blaster so the shop I'm taking it to doesn't have an issue. Just haven't crawled under there myself to see if you can see / reach it.

It's much easier to get to it and apply a good amount of force to twist it off from the engine compartment, and not from below. You can reach it from below, but it is worse of a nightmare to do so. Mind your steering linkage though... it may just be in the way of the Driver's side Demon Bolt...

Can you spray it from above? Or below? I'll let them deal with actually removing it, just rather make it easy for them so they don't f something up.
