Get your parts and schedule a day. (Maybe August 29th.) I bought the O2 sensor tool and I have the right drill bit for making non-foulers. However, I really recommend the right angle ones from EBay.

AJ: Test pipes on the 370Z 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on rate of consumption of PBR. LOL

Rob:Brake Pads? Not sure if you've done it already or want to wait till the end of the month. 30 minutes / Axle unless we have 1 person per wheel. Then it's 15 minutes.

young Jee(z): Ark Exhaust, Test pipes and bumper tuck 2.5 hours max
- You'll want to get the Copper RTV gasket material in a tube.
- I suggest the right angle O2 sensor non-foulers for the test pipes. Get it on EBay.
- For the tuck, you can go either of two ways.
1) Unbolt the two tabs connecting the valance to the aluminum bumper and move them higher onto the backside of that bumper. this pulls it up but in some case, it can look uneven.
2) Disconnect the tabs and cut them off. Go to Home Depot in the aisle with bolts and buy an aluminum strip of metal about 2' long, 1.8" or so thick and 1/2" wide. Then get a small box of 1/2" long sheet metal screws. Stainless is best but zinc plate will be just fine too. We will end up tucking the bumper and flattening it with the strip. The screws will go through the bumper cover and into the aluminum bumper bar. There is no going back since we will put holes in the bumper. However, it looks hellova lot cleaner than moving the tabs. This is how I did mine.

Brian - Greddy Twin Turbo Kit w/ FMIC .... LMAO! Just kidding.

I have some radius arms and toe bolts to install, CF side skirts to get painted and installed and probably something else too. However, I hope to have those done in the next couple weeks.

You can hang, drink if you want or jump in and turn some wrenches. If you just want to learn how to do something, let us know and I'll be happy to help teach. It's all easy stuff if you really look at it up close.

I am down for any Sunday
Sundays are probably the easiest for people to make it to on a regular basis, and sooner.
We can hangout install some parts and just call it early

If this is all thats being done heck it will only take a few hours total

haha Brian how did you know i still had my brake pads to install?

anyways, I'm gonna throw out dates based on my autox schedule since all autox's are on Sundays:

8/16
9/27

all weekend before and in between there's either autox or I'll be out of town.

8/16 may be a possibility. I really need a fender roller to do the rear. I have spacers and longer studs that need to go in as well.

I'm thinking about joining the Jawbreaker Rally. I'd be out powered my 99% of the cars but I think I stand a chance with my suspension, tire grip and years of driving experience. I expect the overpowered will have a tough time too. It would be the next weekend so the car needs to be ready. Anyone else here thinking about it?

You almost have enough parts to build another car. LOL You should put em in a van and bring them anyway. Maybe you will be able to sell a few.

Hey guys, Ali is coming to hang out in Ann Arbor this Sat night. If anybody else wants to come over and chill you're more than welcome. We'll probably hitup downtown AA and the weekly Sat night meet as well. Brian since ur so close? But I know you got a family and all.

So it looks like 8/16 so far? Let's see when AJ gets his parts.

Datona Jess

8/16 is the day after the dreamcruise and I will still be in Pontiac at the display, helping to tear ti down etc. So I will not be able to make it then.

No big deal on my parts I can put them on myslef in my garage, no biggy

Phreakdout

I forgot about the Dream Cruise. Looks like August is getting iffy for me anyway. I'm trying to arrange a trip to China. (Ugh!)

What about this Sat or Sunday? Can you guys get parts fast enough?

Possibly. I'll check with the warden to see if I can get out on good behavior. LOL

Datona Jess

iTrader: (1)

This Sat and Sunday I am booked already, sorry guys.
I was hoping to have my stuff on by the cruise, so I am prob going to have to do it myself, but no big deal..
I wanted someone to take a video of a 370 with open TP's just for fun, but ehh whatever...

AznSky

iTrader: (12)

AJ gimme a call when you get parts in, I'll just drive up one night and help since I'm decently close.

skingy

iTrader: (8)

same thing here AJ - let me know when you plan to do the TP install and i can be there. i'd be happy to help. and if you don't have a video camera, i do.

i'd be happy to see how much easier a relatively new car TP install can be vs. the mess i had.

iTrader: (32)

I dug up the video of Scott's car fired up with no exhaust. I bet we pissed off your neighbors AJ!

Datona Jess

iTrader: (1)

Thanks guys I will let you know
Problem is I am going to see what exhausts come out first.
All the ones so far I don't like the sound of...

I might just out the test pipes on the stock exhaust and see...

skingy

iTrader: (8)

haha - that's awesome brian. i had no clue you took that vid...what a great surprise. it certainly was even more brutal than that in person too.

Phreakdout

iTrader: (32)

^^ LOL - My pleasure Scott. I'm sneaky like that.

You know me, I'm a big fan of Greddy's exhaust. They are workingon one but I'm not sure if it's out yet. If not, I'd just TP with OE exhaust. I started that way and then went to Greddy.
