The gas cap door? The bolsters? Getting into neutral? That no one knows what it is? I watched the review, and I could tell what the complaint was.

Have you checked to make sure that the shipping spacers were properly removed from front springs? Reason asked is your front end looks awfully high (as mentioned in vid) and the gap between tires and fender is enormous, which I understand is unfortunately a common problem with dealers not doing their job correctly during pre-delivery inspection/prep due to them not bothering to remove those shipping spacers before delivery. For reference, here's a shot of my NISMO taken at stock height before lowering was done. As you can see, the gap between tires and fenders is fraction of what yours appears to be in video.

Let me help you ID the transport block that is shoved in the spring. Gotta remove it for it to look better. You can do it yourself by lifting the front end up, or have the dealership learn from their mistake

The '24 Nismo with the Spacer block still installed

1 thing I hate: clickbait

I noticed the fender gap at the end. Typical.

That's just par for the course for 80% of content creators nowadays, though (not saying it's justified by any means.) It annoys the hell out of me too but at this point I just assume any title caption or title card has a strong probability of being misleading.

I called him out on his Y/T channel, big surprise I have no audience so he’s not gaining anything (reciprocal link/SEO-wise). I do agree though, this nonsense is toxic to the community (and brand).
