Which bar? Who's buying? I'm in!

She's alive!!!! The Z is on the ground, and went around the block. I found one the fitting on the hose coming out of the oil filter relocation plate has a small leak. It was/is tight...

I pissed off a few neighbours in the process (no exhaust)

Boring drive-by video to come.

I think I am going to have leaks in the lines coming off the relocation plate as well. I got them to stop at idle but wont know for sure until I take mine for a spin. They are damn tight thats for sure, hopefully they seat and stop leaking.

The only leak I had at during the first start test was the output fitting from the oil relocation plate. They were pre-installed and I didn't bother checking them. Fixed that, now the hose fitting at the same location leaks (where the red elbow meets the blue nut), and like yours, fine at idle. I'll be taking some oil with me on my first real drive.

It isnt a type of seal you can go too tight with is it? Like a kitchen sink gasket, you pinch those a little, water leak! Maybe the same deal with those? Sometimes tighter is not always better.

Mitco39 · 03-12-2013, 07:19 PM

I just got back from a quick drive to the car wash with mine, no oil on the ground after letting it idle for 15 mins after driving it. Fingers crossed. Also eyeballing a alignment is not a good idea in the Z, lol felt like ice the whole time. Gotta get it into get aligned soon here.

LMBmikeZ · 03-14-2013, 08:42 PM

Yeah, I could have used fast setting panel bond and been done with it but... its a bitch to remove the skirt if you have to down the road. This way I'll be able to remove the skirts incase I need to take the car in for service.
