i think at a shop they will quote you at 10 hours for the job, that seems pretty expensive for a set of headers. Most shops where i live can range from 60-90 an hour...

headers on our cars are a total pain in the a$$ to install!

if you do it yourself i hope you have tiny burger king hands!

You also can't use any type of impact wrenches. Hand tools only!! You will screw up your O2 sensors.

unscrew the o2 sensors first, problem solved :happydance:

Don't forget lots of beer for this project

Vodka and redbull/orange juice. Got to mix it up a little.

might not get the sts, might get something a little different MUAH AHAHAHAHAHA

Like what? Those frankenstein looking singles?

seeing that turbo proudly displayed under the hood is pretty sweet tho. the odd positioning of it reminds me of a rotated turbo kit for an STI

I'll let my HP show off for me:tiphat:. It's only a matter of time the way I'm throwing money at this car that it will be a 1000hp monster in the next few years.

Ok I seen 2 Z's yesterday around the Ft.Leavenworth area...a white one and a gray one....Anyone know who this might be and if so tell them Sat. is the Dyno dash. So show up or else!!:tup:

Hey guys I'm a new Z owner as of December and wasnt able to make it out to the Spring KC meet since I was out of town, but hopefully next time KC has a meet I can meet up with you guys. I live up on the North side of KC in and around the Barry Rd/169 Highway area.

welcome! you're up in my neck of the woods...ish.... i'm off parvin up north. i'm sure since spring is around the corner, that when fast fridays get going again that wwe will be attending a couple of those. ahd some pretty good Z turnouts last year when we went to those.

Another MO Z....welcome to the group.....color?

Welcome. We are few and far between in the KC area....better than the thousands of Mustangs. First Z?

I have the Gun Metallic color.

This is my first Z that I have owned. However, my older brother used to own a 350z which got me hooked to the Z originally.

but we all know chrome silver is the best color! :p

you will love the Z man

so what's new over here at the 370z site. i see now that the spring meet is over no ones talking any more.... lets see....

any1 try boulevard's limited release that came out yesterday?

wellll i have not tried boulevards new beer. just finished my last chocolate ale last weekend tho.

i want to make car love with that orange gtr... wait.... no thats right

That intake looks good. what companies is that?

and i'm a big fan of the shift knob change on the z's. completely changes the shift feel

fujita intake, most vendors i found hated them as a company, most were ready to stop selling their products all together. as far as fit,finished and overall quality its spot on. plus it has its own maf sensor mount, where many others use a big portion of the old one.

ya little things like shift knobs go far in the driving "experience"

i warned him about getting a metal one, and 3 hours after putting it on, he now sees why i bought the derlin/plastic nismo one.

why does nobody want to carry that intake any more?

What is the warning about the metal one? Just that it gets really hot in the sun or some other issue?

I've had a metal one before and yes they get very hot. You need gloves during the summer to drive with one. I would still get one again and I like the looks of the one in the post. You just have to know what your are going to put up with.

Started picturing Edub with a GTR...I had to stop......

ya hot as can all be, especially in a black car. gotta stick a crown royal bag over it while it sits, helps a ton, still hot tho. I do like the weighted feel better than mine tho.


we're gunna see ethan on that Strange Addictions tv show going to town on that poor kids gtr.

Hey do any of you guys know where Stilwell is? How far is that from St. louis?

Looks to be about an hour south, southwest of kc. so about 4.5 hours from stl

ya i've got a client in stilwell. only like 10-15 min from my office in lenexa.

just south a lil more south than most consider "kc area" but not like off the map or anything

Southern Johnson County at 199th/US69 Hwy...it is a township, so you won't find a city of Stilwell.

I live in gardner on the map.

I would say Edub's estimate would be about right.
