[QUOTE=RastabeanZ;10055007]it's the car that's working out...

trial and error process....thanks

hopefully late July...I've been lurking local facebook pages/forums and such and I'm already liking the vibe.

man...so ready, really looking forward to one of the big yearly Z cruises...

 

driver side and random hammer my wife wrapped...



oil pan seems to have no baffles rather an actual pan because the oil came out like a porno star...messy



friend's Z...he's working on getting sides



random **** I'm collecting...

 

You know the specs on your friends SL's by any chance?

 

18x10 or 9, +18 r +22 f I'll verify but it has spacers on so it...

 

your friends Z looks awesome!! the sides will complete the look

I'm too lazy to read, why is your car all apart?? lol

 

haha just don't use that hammer now... that **** is bad for you, worse then playing with insulation.

 

Going to the stance meet and greet on the 30th? hmu via text!!!

 

Also, could you help me install my endlinks and sway bars? gotta have an install day with both our nismo's at ur new house. Ya kno, just like old times back at ur old house

 

I'll be there no sides skirts, hood, fenders or f/r bumpers lol

 

Rod, what dash kit did you use with your pioneer radio? I've searched and looked all over but can't find anything on it.

 

Shoots man really don't remember but don't think it was anything special...

I'll search on it a little...

Got the headers on and Engine bay back together...she cranks but didn't start...getting a new battery under warranty as I type this...

 

I think its the Metra, everyone's pointing me in that direction.

Can't wait to see this thing get put back together. Waiting to see the new stance with those wheels.

 

Me and you both...just went through some pm's that I had about it before I brought them...it's the metra kit!

Updated my first page alittle, I need to add links to pages and make table a content like the 370Z guys...

I've just finished re installing my LTH for the second time. It was easier in the sense I knew what I was doing. it was harder knowing I had to do it. Me...myself and no one else. What made it worse was the long periods of time in between the DIY job. little things got lost in translation..."which bolt goes where" maybe it's my lack of OCD? Either way through it all turning it on after a three month pause was relieving and heart racing at the same time.

for those starting to read this for the first time...if you have the time and tools and a little know how...research the job, YouTube the videos, ask the local carclub members and take a swing at it! it's the most rewarding feeling!

 

^^^

Then you also do dumb stuff out of excitement...

my battery was low

car didn't start

got battery charged

car still didn't start

double check everything...pm'd a couple folks...thanks

found a connection loose

car fired right up




then I left the keys in the car due to chasing my son down the alley...

battery is dead

battery is getting re charged

Installed the oil cooler

 

I see you got something done by Jet Hot. I've heard some good reviews by their coating but I've also heard some bad reviews too. How are your experiences with it? Update us on this sometime! I'm thinking of getting my downpipes and turbo manifolds done by them.

 

Rod, did you cut and reuse the old stillen bracket? With how i've been driving lately, i'd feel more assured having an oil cooler.....plus it'd look cool!!! Unless i mount it datsun style outside of the front bumper off to the side

btw, got time next week? went to the auto show today with the gf so couldn't make it.
