Thats pretty bad when you are breaking sockets and extractors to remove. Def sounds like dremel or 3" air cutoff would be the way to go.

Small garages can be a pain but at least you have one. I am working out of my car port when I feel up to working on my car. Have to lug all my tools out when I do want to work on it then make sure everything is put away that night. Sucks when i have a few day project and have to keep pulling everyting back out again. I will have one of those projects soon when I pull the rear subframe to do sub frame bushings along with control arm bushings.

What's going on with it? There's a chance we can tell you something useful on here. If not, one of us may be able to drop by at some point.

Getting p301 code after doing spark plug change. Changed out coil and boot already its either a new fuel injector or the maintenance and repair section told me to check compression. Not sure how to check compression on 1 cylinder since i've never done it before.

is it possible you got the back two coil packs mixed up? ive seen that do some weird things like that before, pull the fuse for your fuel pump, get a compression tester and take out the spark plugs one by one and see what the gauge reads.

coil packs are right just double checked. fuse is good. So is that how a compression tester works? I take out one spark plug and screw it into the spark plug slot? Never used one before.

yeah just make sure youre not going to squirt fuel into the motor though, but they should all be about the same range if one is way more high or low something is wrong with the motor

^ Lol.

Well, technically, we began using that location waaaay back in 2007 or something like that, along with Hooters and Red Robin at that intersection for My350Z.com meets.

But, either way, at least there are Z/VQ meets again, right?
