Here are the instructions, however these are for a 350z. I do not have any vibrations and I did the DIY. Their site might be havng server issues, it's really slow right now. But trust me, it will load.

I note a couple of things:
1) I cant emphasize enough that there's a huge difference in clearance between coupes/350z/370z in these vids vs the g sedan
2) looks like hes got the front bushing in the whiteline instructions position
keeping those things in mind its an excellent resource, I wish he had made it when I did mine

At some point whiteline has got to have heard us G guys are using the bushings. You would think they could do some testing and basically sell a "new" part for the G just by updating the instruction manual.

Yes they can just leave it as and let us do what we want while they are absolved of all liability, but im sure there are some people who avoid buying the part because it's not stated as fitting anything but the 350z and they may not know it actually works. Or maybe shops who refuse to install it on anything but the 350z so they avoid liability.
And the G37 isnt a "newer body" than the 350z. Sure they share soem similarities but it really is not the same car. Even just for the fact the larger engine puts more stress on the driveline and maybe these bushings aren't meant to handle the load.

I would seriously find it hard to believe these bushings can't handle a slight increase in power. I mean think of all the bolt on 350s making fairly close to the same power as us. The 3.7 isn't leaps and bounds better than the older 3.5...It's a pretty even platform in regards to power output.
And you kind of supported my argument as far as from a business standpoint. I am sure plenty of these sell and I am also sure that white line has moved on to new projects. Revisiting an old project and redoing R and D costs money. They probably make plenty from this $100 part to not really care about "certifying" it in regards to marketing a secondary platform. Honestly, they probably could market it for the 3.7 and not even face any liability. It's for "off-road use only"...Those magical words keep all companies free of lawsuits. Either way, we know it works, who cares, buy them and install them lol. Cheers mate!

Thanks for that, Hashim. I went over these instructions with my mechanic this morning. It still felt awkward insisting he do something opposite written requirements, so I appreciate the confirmation.
