What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

If they really are frozen, a mechanic can do the "hot wrench" maneuver with a torch. You were replacing those bolts anyways.

I put a good penetrating oil on mine several days in a row leading up to my swap. I was pleased that they came out with little effort.
I had more trouble with other bolts on the exhaust that I didn't treat before hand

Didn't do anything to my Z besides fill the gas tank. Had a 2016 370z come in today to get work done though

Right on! Checking it out now. Been partying in Key West since Friday... finally getting caught back up on the community goings-on while my flight home continues to get delayed...

Grattan is near to my house. Next time you are in town, drop me a line.
