First off, hello to all who know me, and hello to those who don't. I haven't been here in a while, but I'm back

I have a close friend who is trading in his 350Z for an Audi S5. Anyway, he has 4 piston Rotora BBK, Nismo exhaust and shifter, Injen cold air, 4 stock 18" rims with brand new Blizzak LM22 (P235/40) a new bra, and wants to give me the whole package for $1,800 CDN. I will put my stock exhaust, and front rotors and calipers in 'trade'.

My question is, to a capable technician, with all tools and two hoists, how long to swap the brakes and the exhaust? Considering everything goes well of course. I know bleeding the brakes can be a PITA.

I will doing the intake myself of course.

-D

 

3 hours maybe. if you need to also swap them onto his car, add 2 hours

 

skip the intake, cold air has shown to actually lose power.

 

except with the new long tube intakes!!

 

sounds pretty basic, you cant do this yourself?? maybe you shouldnt modify your car if you dont even know how to install the parts you have. brakes, especially a very simple disc brake job shouldnt be a problem, for bleeding just think about it. gravity bleed it. close em all off, start at far back corner n work your way around the car gettin ur buddy to pump the pedal and you bleeding the valves. just keep an eye on the brake fluid level

 

I skipped on the brakes, only went with the shifter and exhaust for $300. The brakes had stress cracks in the rotors, right around the cross drills. I skipped the intake too because my JWT seems louder does a good job I didn't get the tires as well, because..... GUESS WHAT... all four were worn bad on the inside. Yay.

I am sooo happy with the exhaust, and I know my fuel mileage is going DOWN because I like the high rev sounds lol.

Thanks for the input everyone.
