INstalled that Brainiac tablet radio last night. Looks so good, but having a hard time getting the static out of the line -_-

Make sure you have a good metal ground and not just a wire wrapped around a bolt, held down by a nut. That's not good enough.

...back on topic.

Did a pretty thorough engine bay cleaning this afternoon. Been meaning to do this for a while as everything was just kinda covered in crud and dirt and road grime. (And yes, in case anyone was wondering, battery disconnected and negative cable tucked out of the way before I got started.)
I forgot to get a "before" picture, but I think the "after" came out pretty nice.

Lightwerkz has some open box HID bulbs for 1/2 price, pair of D2s Nightbreaker Laser for only $70. For those wanting to replace theirs.

Plan D….aka “just get it to work”

Bought a pair harness that was already cut off. But looking at harness in my car, didn’t seem like I would be able to just cut my stock one and replace/attach.

So I use a Ryobi 18v battery solely for the power seat adjustment function, for now. Ghetto style. Seats haven’t been restored yet, haven’t found a shop I feel comfortable with yet.

But at least, they work, they hug me better than the cloth seats, I’m happy for now.

Ordered gen 3s and berk resonated test pipes to pair with the rice cannon, I mean Tomei…

Now I am also looking at ear plugs, lol.

Excited to hopefully be tuned and full bolt on, though.

I’ve heard wonderful things like a Tomei is twice as loud without cats. Good thing there’s a GT350 and F Type in my building. I’ll try to blend in, lol.

Just tuck that bad boi up high and toight because if you are any kind of lowered you have a high chance of flat spotting the Tomei or even gouging it.

Going to be loud as f*ck and I run Motordyne ART + Shockwave, which is loud as f*ck

Whatever you do, don't install the thunder pipe. Unless you want permanent hearing loss. It's loud AF with my HFCs.

Oil change

Pushed my new radiator hose on the rest of the way to stop a leak that would happen at high revs and cleaned the green mess it made in the engine bay (side tangent: whoever at Nissan named the long-life stuff " blue" was colorblind since it's teal)

Finally pulled my steering lock fuse after 5 years of owning my Z even though the previous owner had his lock replaced

Removed a melted plastic bag that got stuck between my exhaust and W-brace, which explains that burning smell...

Glad a known didn't bite ya as it does others who put it off.

I really should see if that printed test bracket will mount my dash properly so i can give my friend feedback to print the final mount. It's just too damn hot.

FrankEtier · 07-30-2021, 07:11 PM

Looked at the pile of parts on the work bench to install, then said f it. I’ll wait till it’s not 106 in my garage!
