Default Removing Motordyne plenum spacer ??

So i need to remove my motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer and i'm pretty sure i replaced the OEM plenum screws with the ones that came with the spacer but i cant find my OEM screws if my life depended on it. My question is can i use the screws supplied by motordyne without using the spacer? Are they the same length as OEM screws?

I doubt you can you the use the md screws because there obliviously longer. The outer plenum bolts are m6 I think that you can find at any local autoparts store but you want to make sure to get the strongest grade. But, for the 6 in them middle of the plenum your going to have to go to nissan, while there just get all.

Dam! Sorry to hear that.

BTW what year is your Z? Just wondering b/c I am aware of the 06's having oil consumption problems. Also, how did you come to realize your Z was burning excess oil?

My Z is an 06 , there are many signs its burning oil, such as excessive blue smoke both when i first turn it on in the morning and in high rpms, and when i do my oil changes every 3000 miles it only drains about 1.5 qts so the other 3.5qts are gone.
