Is anyone interested in a carbon fiber cooling plate? I have the one from AutoTecknic that covers the "entire" space in front of the radiator. Brand new still in box. Hoping someone local wants it so I don't have to ship. Looks outstanding! Asking $120.

Also, does anyone know of anything happening this weekend?

Anybody replaced their Cats themself. I am have trouble figuring out the sensor connectors. Not the Cat connection but where the wires connect to each other under the tranny. Strang looking thing. Maybe ETX or mysunset has an idea on how to get the apart. I just started the fun process last night and hope to finish tonight.

Any help would be great since my car has been in my grarage all week on jack stands. I want to drive!

I didn't cut any wires but I am having trouble getting the clip apart. Is there a trick to It? I am still trying to get all the bolts loose on the upper end of the Cat. You weren't joking about trying every tool I own to get the top bolt on each off. I went to Lowes this morning and bought some more tools to help.

Mzack, man that sounds like a pain the ****. My advice - drive the thing (if it you can) to someplace like Midas and pay them the $70 to do the install if you can't figure it out. I've heard its expensive to replace the o2 sensors if they are damaged. On another note, if its nice tomorrow I'm going to the boat for the day. Get that Z done and come on down if its nice out. Anyone else is welcome too, hope it doesn't rain though.

I got them installed. I was looking at the connectors all wrong. I only have to re-install the metal bracket and plastic shield and I am done. I would love to go on the boat but I am playing in a golf outing at Crackelwood at 24 mile and Romeo PLank. I will call you when I am done and maybe stop out. We should be done around 1 pm and we will only be about 5 miles from MacRay. I need your number again, I think I lost it.

I'm seriously thinking of getting the Greddy EVO II dual exhaust and test pipes within a week or so. Should allow the turbo's to run more effeciently allowing them to spool quicker.

Would anyone be interested in buying my Borla dual exhaust, RT high flow cats, and an Injen Cold Air Induction kit that I used to have on the Z? These three items brand new cost about $1400-1500.

The exhaust and high flows are about 7-8 months old. The CAI kit is about 6 months old and has been sitting in my garage since the turbo install. Let me know.

there ya go mzack.

i installed the momo shifter today, and the smoked rear overlays. not too sure about the overlays though. ill wash my car tomorrow, take some pics and post um. some opinions would help. still have to install the front spacers too.

i wouldnt mind the exhaust, but funds are again at 0.00
if anyone wants the smoked overlays for the front reflectors, let me know. i have no use for them because i have the LED sidemarkers there and they came as a set with the rear signal overlays.

when i took out my seats i unclipped the heater, power, and airbag harnesses from the seat. now when its all back in my airbag light is on any ideas ?????

i went to milan yesterday for the IHRA races... OMG ive never seen anything in my life like that. I feel that nobody is a man until they see a top fuel dragster and a semi truck with a helocopter engine strapped on it. the blast of the jet truck was so powerful it blew away this barrier fence made of sheet metal siding with 4x4 posts in the ground. snapped the posts like twigs. lets hope the 25th is nice weather any word on locaiton yet ?!

I was going to go and see them but it looked like rain and I didn't want to pay the $35 and get rained out. I know someone that raced in the pro stock division. I may go today.

why did you take out the seats?

you might want to check to make sure your connections are all the way in. if they are, just disconnect your batter for about an hour and plug it back in.

you'll have to reset your radio stations though.

Went to Milan. Oh man. Awsome. There was a 350z parked in the Pits parking on the end. Everyone including the racers were looking at it in awe. Now if we could only get 398mph in less than 5 seconds in the .25 mile.

hmmmm. not sure what the problem could be. you can always take it to the dealership. did you check the clips that are in the center cousil area? theres an airbag senser there too.


got around to taking a pic of the smoked overlays. still iffy about them. what do you guys think?
