My only criticism is when changing the oil you should mention that the bolts holding up the fiberboard shroud are 10mm (1/4 drive). The oil drain plug is a 17mm and the lug nuts require a 21mm deep 1/2 drive socket when rotating tires. This will enable those that have never done this work before to have the proper tools prior to beginning.

Correction! The oil drain plug on the G35 requires a 14mm socket. The 17mm drain plug is on my wife's Honda Civic

ahh... good points, I will be sure to include these details in future videos and when I re-edit the videos. I'll overlay this information for a DVD release.

Good vids... while you are re-editing them, if you want to remove the *ahem* ad for that "other" forum in the beginning of the vids... we would be happy to post them here in our how to section
