Who? Us? Nahhhhh...... We moderate ourselves fairly well. I even held back today splurging on some new Z parts and just purchased the Trakspec side hood vents instead.

Think we did a pretty good job moderating on this subject.

He got a mild beat down.

Yep. His quest for "attaboys" was effectively thwarted.

Spit-shined the Z, and a quick photo shoot before going into work for a bit.

Couple more poses.. shes growing up nicely!

This past weekend I performed an under vehicle and under hood inspection. Check and corrected all fluids and set my tire pressure. I also changed my oil and drained and filled my coolant.

Next I installed new PCV valves and installed new spark plugs. For anybody doing spark plugs for the first time, blow out the spark plug wells with compressed air before removing the spark plugs once you take the coils off. This will get any foreign material out of the spark plug well so it does not fall into the cylinders as you remove the spark plugs. Lastly, I installed new throttle body gaskets.

Spark plug torque - 14 Ft lbs.
Coil bolt torque - 62 in lbs.
Throttle body bolt torque - 102 in lbs.
PCV valve torque - 22 in lbs.

Happy wrenching everyone.

Sold my original Silver RPF1s on Sunday. Put in an order for some new CF10s

Found the differential bushing has busted, so ordered the Z1 urethane kit. Also added the subframe collars to round things out while I’m down there.

I really like my subframe collars. I only have the rear set installed since doing the front part myself would require removing shaved off bolts (I need to schedule a time to go in and get those done.)

Those plus my solid diff bushings resulted in me car wanting to put the power down with urgency.

How are you going to remove the oem diff bushing?

The Old Man and I have done his 350Z with Z1’s removal tool, so I will be utilizing that again.

That's the hard way. And it's a POS.

I tried to use it and gave up.

I've done 3 diff bushings so far. Takes me 20 minutes to remove the diff bushing. I use a deep 2" hole saw to cut the center section out. Don't use a cordless drill. They don't have enough power and get hot too quickly. Use a good 1/2 electric drill. Then a sawzall to cut 2 to 3 cuts in the outer shell. Then use a muffler tool to remove the outer shell. Starting at the saw cuts.

40,000 miles coming up, so I picked up a few things:

- Motive Power Bleeder and Motul 5.1 for the second 20k mile brake flush

- Redline MT-85 for the transmission fluid change

- Redline 75w-90 for the differential fluid change

Should be fun

I just want you all to know how confused I was earlier when I logged into this thread instead of the "Off Topic" version, and saw all of you actually discussing Z cars instead of EastWest's colon.

Carry on with the good work!
