I have stands and a jack. Extra might be useful though. When is everyone planning on coming?

I can bring extra stands; I'd rather not throw my jack in the car, though!

I was planning on coming Saturday, since Thursday night will be kind of busy for me...

Ill plan on March 3rd (Sat) as well. Bring the sways, two jack stands and one jack. Array of extra tools (Extra set never hurts right?) and some extra DOT4 fluid in case anyone needs some. Its the good stuff. Cheers.

Those are really nice, a good upgrade. I'll plan on being at your place on the 3rd. I'll bring my jack and some tools. I also have some Motul RBF600 if someone needs it. I'll be sure to grab my torque wrenches as well.

Apparently, I am too retarded to figure out how to install the Ingalls ETD, so I'll be doing that at your house on the 3rd, since Dan is test fitting it on your Z

Starting a list to see how many people will be stopping by on the 3rd.

-Robert: Pads, Rotors, all Fluids
-350z_drifter (John)
-Resolute (Will): Helping
-Dave 90TT (Dave): Helping
-myspivey: Sways
-Amarao (Aaron):

BTW: Cancel that endlink order. Lifted up the car and it was just the 17mm bolt. Need to save some money right now. Maybe in the future.

I'll be installing the Ingalls ETD, after looking at yours, since I can't figure it out. Really makes me feel stupid, too, after Dan said in his thread that all you need is basic mechanical skills............

How much brake fluid should I be getting for a full flush? Might as well throw on my front SS lines while I'm at it. Other than that I'm there to help out.

Two bottles should be more than enough. Rather have extra than not enough.

Depends on how big the bottles of brake fluid are. If you are using the pint bottles of Motul, Castrol, etc. that probably won't be enough. If you're talking about the quart bottles of Valvoline Syntech, two should be sufficient.

Today I spent some time with YoungZ33 going over what he needed to do to prep his Z for the track. He may be joining you for some brake work; including swapping pads and fluid. Have fun guys!

Suggestion: If you have extra oil catch bins please bring them. I only have one and I'm sure we don't want to make multiple trip to Advance Auto to dump used oil. LOL
