Have the upper SPL control arms installed.
 In the second picture. After I removed the bolt that holds the upper ball joint in the spindle. The upper arm popped up by it's self. The bushings in the upper arm don't rotate, they twist in place.  Third picture. The bolts that hold the arms in place doesn't have enough clearance with the coilover to come out. You have to remove the 3 nuts on top of the coilover so that you can move it down enough for the bolts to come out.

Side by side of the SPL and the stock arms. The stock arms are lighter.

When I installed the SPL arms. I had a bolt that was sticking out from the right inner fender that would hit the arm at full up travel. So I grounded it down.

Got an CEL the other day. Cleared it and it came back. So when I was jacking up the Nismo for the control arm install. This is what I found.
The plug for the right rear O2 sensor was broken. The day that the CEL first came on. I remembered hitting a dead ground hog.  I tired to miss him but couldn't, and this is what I got.

Just got done fixing my under tray. I keep on losing the 3 plastic fasteners on it. So I come up with a fix.
Fix for the rattling front under tray.

Installing the SPL lower control arm bearings today. Got the arms off in about an hour for both sides. The machine shop charged me $80.00 to press off the old bushings and install the new bearings. The shop said that they had to torch off the old bushings. They was on that tight!
