Happy New Year!!!

Ill actually be in SF with a friend... I got her tickets to a concert at the Mezzanine...

Yes there is a meet on 02.Jan.08!!! Im not sure how many people will be there but Ill be there for sure...

Still havent gotten my tires - Holidays suck when waiting for a package ...

 

See you Wednesday...

 

New years bump for coffee and my dirty a$$ Z. Its looks like a yellow Z with 20% tint all over the outside. haha

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Official oil consumption testing started today at Dealer.
The time has arrived for me to move forward with this 2 year issue I've had with or without a TSB from Infiniti, like the one for the 350Z's back in Nov 07.

Most likely see you all tonight.

 

Time to drain some oil!!!

On a different note:
My tires are in... Mount and balance will be on Saturday ...

 

Haha...they seal and mark all that stuff so yuz cant...
Wouldnt do that anyway if they hadnt. I'll play their game. Know I qualify under Nissans TSB. That's in my favor depending which route I have to take in resolving this.

Good to hear your tires finally arrived.

I'm running late peeps. My dinner not ready yet
I'll be there tho.

I had it all planned to be in around 6:00PM but ...

Anyways, see you all next week...

 

Alright, I'll be fair and ask what happened? Are you OK?

Fail stamp pending till further notice .

 

Wife shopping delay ..
Got started going later than expected... I was high tailing it but just couldn't make it .. Too may DAMN trucks on the road...

 

Was it really wife shopping or were YYOOOUUU spending too much time on Rodeo Drive.

I'm already in trouble since I got me the one that I really wanted.
Got it weekend before X-mas...

I think I'm oncall next week but i'll try to get out there even for a lil bit...

Good time to plan our snowboarding trip... How about next weekend???

 

Guys I need your help as I have not done this before, I need to remove some springs off my front strut and I am not sure I know if I am doing this correct. I need to get these off tonight so any help appreciated.

So far I rented the spring compressor from Kragen and have them on one of the springs and have compressed it till the top of the spring is off the perch so then I tried to remove the center bolt and it is real tight plus every time I rotate it the whole top rotates with it....so I am not sure if I am doing this right.

Some pics to show where I am. First is the springs compressed.



Second is the nut I think I have to remove?

Any input please.

 

However, we couldn't get my springs off ourselves when we did my springs so I ended up taking it to PEP boys... Had them remove and install it to the new struts...

Good Luck...

 

Thanks I wonder how much they would charge just to take the springs off the strut.

 

Not sure if they charged me $50 to remove and install to struts.. I only had the fronts done... Kinda pricey, I guess, but had not choice...

 

Paul,

Just take it to Pepboys or any shop... They can do it for $40.00 (anymore than that is just too much)...

Ideally you want to take the top bolt off (or at least loosen) before you take the assembly off the car... An impact wrench will make quick work of this... If you are using hand tools alone, take the front assemblies to a shop... They will take about 20 minutes for them to switch springs - thats for both fronts... Hope that helps...

 

Thanks, me and a buddy are going to try it tonight and see if we can get the damn top nut loose, the strut is off the car and I have sold the Teins so I need to get the fronts off so I can ship them...lol...no switching springs as I have coilovers now.

 

In that case, an impact wrench will do it. Good luck with the uninstall.
