Installing this was a bitch!

I'm recognizing the insert Z1 made for the 350Z. Does the G have a OEM thingie that connects two of the radiator hoses behind the left throttle body, that can be replaced with another Z1 product,, like the 370Z?

Regardless, I've never had issue with silicone hoses when I use a bit of PBlaster silicone spray on whatever I'm attaching the hose to.

Noooooo. You will get the full-on gas/oil/*** smell in the interior of the car with filters running straight off the PCVs.

That's why in a prior iteration I ran the vent hoses into the wheel wells and attached filters there.

The epa emissions regs affect all ice vehicles including gas and they’re focusing on gas and diesel. That’s why apr, part of the driven products brand dropped all their stage 2 tuning and hardware and even scrubbed their website of all their rs3 stage 3 BT 9.0 quarter mile runs. This is goin to start hitting smaller fish like FI at some point too. I know I probably sound like “omg, the sky is falling” but it’s a big deal, mark my words. Ironically, I don’t really have a dog in this fight since our ttrs with a stage one tune, full emissions systems intact, will make 500 hp and on e-85 it’s 565 hp and run mid tens and that’s good enough for me and wifey sine it’s an hpde car, but it’s still feels like this is the end of an era, must’ve been a feeling like this in 1970...

They (epa) came down hard first on the diesel stuff bc of the stupid show and all the idiots “rolling coal” social media vids. Now they’ve put the fear of god into Holly et al and I’m waiting for the next aftermarket co to get hammered. The domestic car aftermarket is bigger so they’re just working their way down the ladder.

Quadzilla was in trouble with the EPA years ago. It put them out of business. Yes, that was the diesel world. The EPA has bigger fish to fry in the diesel world with all the Particulate filter deletes.

I'm running that never-to-be-sufficently-damned Seibon TS and the smell was still nasty AF.

What a lovely day. Especially when EW "forgot" to bring cash and the 17 year old girl behind the ice cream counter said his credit card had been declined.

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

Since it is my Friday before vacation, I might have to pick up a ribeye for lunch. :yum:

Yanked the W brace and associated other braces in preparation for dropping the trans. They're a tad rusty so I figure I'll sandblast and repaint for a winter project.

Also, I'm building this monster.
