I second that. I discovered that on my fiancee's car. I learned there was a revised valve cover gasket and that was the $12 fix. Still, the discovery during a spark plug job is an unpleasant surprise.

Oh, junk yard life. A few years back at the beginning of my (240sx) build, I walked right by a 300zx z32 turbo and never give it second glance! That still hurts right now.

Got under the Z today and found an annoying high rpm rattle. Had a bracket loose on my exhaust. Easy fix.

Wish my rattle was that easy to fix. I have to take off a turbo crossover pipe as well as my downpipe to get to what is rattling -.-

That's sucks.

sucks to have a car so full of awesome

the rook

Lol. Yeah a turbo on a Z does sound like a pretty awesome problem to work around.

the rook

Meant to ask what rims you have? Are those Rohana?

Working around the turbo is super annoying sometimes haha. So much stuff in the way since these cars have so little space all around.

Yeah this is my first Z and I intend to install my own test pies and exhaust. While I was under there today I noticed that it will likely be a serious mother to get those test pipes out at the headers. Kinda buried and I'm sure the bolts are seized. Hopefully I get the parts ordered before it gets too damn cold here in Colorado and I have all of the wonderful knuckle busting freezing hand situations to look forward to. Lol

My wheels??? I have enkei kojin 18x9.5+15 x4 245/40 front 265/40 rears... Lowered and rolled.

Nice. They looked like a rohana I've been eying. I like the concave look but also the dish look. Looking at some concept 1 cs l5.5 also.

Man I thought changing spark plugs was easy
Well at least they are here,




Just another reason to tuck... lol

the rook

Well it's my first Zach but spark plugs were damn sure an easy change out on every other vehicle I've owned. Lol.

But since I put in a new clutch and got comfortable in the drivers seat.... this car is amazing. I'm hooked!!!

How many hours are into that wire tuck? I am very tempted to jump feet first into it I just am nervous the car will never run again...

Do you happen to know of a g35 front engine harness is the same? I might get one on ebay so if I screw it up I have a backup plan.

Ps what kind of paint did you use on the valve covers?

rustyschopshop

I took my time and spent about 40 hours on the wire tuck, have seen threads where is was done in under 10. Not sure if the harnesses are the same but would imagine that it is. Recommend looking up the OEM parts numbers and comparing.
I used engine paint with clear on the valve covers.

Thanks so it should take me about 90+ hours because I seem to be more than 50% slower than everyone else on this forum. Was their any wire added or just deconstructed, rerouted and reconstructed?

rustyschopshop

I didn't do any removal as of yet, eventually I plan on going back in and cleaning back up more. Check the first 2 pages of my slow build and you should get the general idea.

Not today, but yesterday - I beat on her for about 3 hours straight. Drove it like I stole it, and holy crap... I have so much more to learn. This thing is way more capable than I am at the moment. The track should be interesting...
