Josh - still checking into the bluetooth thing. I have come up with a few options though. As for the memory, I can get it for about $20. otherwise if you wanted it very soon, I might suggest checking out Micro Center (right off 100 in St loius park

The memory is the easy part. The BT module is proving to be a bit trickier, but i may have a solution for that too. I'm guess the actual HP module that fits internally is going to be $100+. But they do make USB bluetooth modules that you can pick up for less than $20. They have those at Micro Center too.

I like Microcenter for things that i need to pickup rather than wait to order and have shipped. Not quite as good of a price as online (usually a 10% markup from what I can order online for) - but still half the price of running down to best buy to pick up some rediculously priced component.

You think you'd be down for a USB BT adaptor? You could have them both tomorrow and it would run you less than $50. Plus that would give you a couple days to get everything working and tested. Let me know - I can give you an exact list to buy if you need help

Yeah, that would work. I'd have to get a USB hub then as well, but it would have to be low power, hi bandwidth. I want to set up two cameras in the car, and I was hoping to use the USB ports for that.

Lemme know what I need to get and I'll head on over tomorrow. Thanks for looking into all of this, it would have been good if I could have thrown some business your way.

Here are the USB adaptors I would look at - If you decide to buy on your own, make sure they are USB 1.1 and 2.0 compatible at least.

http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0309026 $14.99

http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0263570 $15.99

The memory to check on (you need 200 pin DDR2 Ram, 2 Gig stick)

http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0285258 $27.99

USB Hub: I found 6 that were under $10. Again, just make sure to get a USB 1.1/2.0

Thanks for thinking of me for this though. I will continue to check on the HP solution to this, as it could eventually allow you to get rid of the USB hub and bluetooth adaptor.

If you have any questions or anything, feel free to hit me up on my cell too.

Only if you get the springs too. But isn't your car too heavy for the 350z springs?

The short answer is yes. Josh, Dan, George and I have all dyno'ed our cars. As for the results - they are posted somewhere but I'm not sure what page yet. We went to an autoshop in Elk River - cannot remember the name though. It was like $40-45 for 3 pulls I believe.

Yeah same here. I'm waiting to get my projector fog lights back from retrofitting. Then I don't know what to do next, maybe a drop..

We should get a group and all cruise to the opener.

I also dynoed mine recently. It was $80 for 3 pulls for me at MAP performance.

Best pull was 225whp and 193 ft/lbs torque. I have a 2G TL though.

That's not a bad price. I'm thinking that I'll be going to MAP to get mine done once I get the J-Pipe installed. I might go for the UR Pulley too (even though I had it once and sold it to Takata), but haven't decided yet.

That's why I posted it on here though - to see if I'm just being anal about things, or if I should be putting my foot down and having someone install it correctly (if it is in fact incorrect)
The Blue you see in the photo is part of the clip you just have to push on the trim until the clip catches. My car has the same blue marks but you can't see it because the trim is snapped in to the clip.
