I'm mostly an information lurker on this site, but thought I'd share this for everyone. I had a buddy with a water jet that owed me so I had him cut a 5/16" spacer for the wife's 350z. Well she finally got around to installing it this morning. She's pretty happy with the upgrades and the car as a whole so far(only owned it a year). And while this is not the toughest car project she's tackled, I think it's great that she does the work and drives the car. I know plenty of guys that can't say the same thing.

 

bull squat! her hands are WAY to clean to have done the entire install herself!

 

They ARE clean. Must be the gloves she wore!!!

 

Gets spacer. Makes wife install. wtf? Help me out?? I dunno

 

Her car, her mod, she does the work. Makes sense to me. All I did was get the spacer made.

 

and you made the sammich?

jk

Good job.

How's the custom made plenum spacer though?

 

The spacer is fine. Just used a sheet of 5/16" 6061, made sure it was strait and smooth before and after the cut. Got two new gaskets cut from a similar material as the OE gasket. Used a little gasket tack to keep them on. And a Motordyne bolt kit holds it all down.

And for the record I heated up leftovers, no sammiches that day.

 

+1 for DIY...now:
