Pick me, pick me.

They will touch the passenger filter. Nothing you do about it unless you make new lines.

Thanks! Funnily enough, I had made new lines... went from a sideways mounted 25 row Setrab series 9 to a 34 row series 6. Bought new Aeroquip lines and fittings bc I trimmed the old Z1 lines and they ended up being 3 inches too short for an upright oil cooler mount. I want to keep the cooler on the driver side. If it wasnt for #livinginchicago I'd pull the stock oil/coolant sandwich and the attendant coolant hardlines and run the oil lines along that path and up through the driver side wheel well.

I'm thinking I will pull the closer line and put a 120 degree fitting on it. Still will need to trim the lines again. Which is annoying bc I already put SECO 7 seals on the sandwich-side lines and those are crush-style seals so they're gonna have to be replaced... oh well.

I'm like Sisyphus when it comes to Rule #1: test everything for final fitment before finalizing.

Took ab a week longer than anticipated but the new oil cooler is installed! Started her up, no leaks. Took ten minutes @ idle for temps to hit 140 lol. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d3255c5966.jpg

Haven't driven my Z since Fall (6+ months :(). Within the last week, I have confirmed orders for a nice smörgåsbord aka バイキング / ヴァイキング (baikingu / vaikingu, i.e. "Viking") of parts for my Z consisting of primarily CJ-Motorsports, ZSpeed, SPL, and Galeforce brands :yum:

my cooler is center mount. That's where the advanced-level tetris came in.

Found out my car didn't come with splash guards. :eek::eek:


Ordered some this morning. :tup::tup:

A Black Z34 05-06-2019 09:28 AM

I cleaned up the Z and went to IFO yesterday. I saw a couple nice Zs and about 300 2015+ STIs...which reminded me of another reason why I love having one. They are pretty rare up here, which is surprising since there's quite a few 350s/G35s/G37s.

Washed and waxed, finally!

Needs some landscaping

MZ DAIZY 05-07-2019 10:27 AM

I bought Daizy new shoes. Got tired of the stock maypops.

Then we went downtown. To...look...for...a...job.

Then we hung out in front of the drugstore...

I didn't know we had so many architects here. You guys must have seen a lot of skyscrapers to be able to eyeball that ratio! :rofl2:

I got my splash guards in yesterday. :tup::tup:

Now to put the car up in the air and install them... :icon17::icon17:

ZontheRocks 05-09-2019 10:32 AM

Put in an order for a pair of ZSpeed copper gaskets to push me on installing my ART pipes.

Also re-ordered an Aeroworkz CF front lip since my previous one had a n install mishap and bit dust on the highway.

Will get that paired back up with the Powertrix CF rear spoiler add-on that I removed (need to get it to fit where I am comfortable) and the car will be set visually. Plus, I haven't seen anyone with those pieces together at my local meets, so I will feel extra special.

Just like Momma always said!

Why do you need the car up in the air? I have removed mine during detailing. Never had to lift the car.

I'm not 'dainty' like JAR, nor am I small; my eyes aren't quite as good as they used to be. :icon14::icon14:

This car never had splash guards, so I'm going to have to create the holes for them to mount to the car. I need all the help I can get when drilling holes in anything..... :shakes head::shakes head:

BettyZ 05-09-2019 11:47 AM

Drill holes in the splash guards or in the body? Color me confused.

The splash guards mount to plastic bits like the fender liners and some next to the side skirts. No holes in painted body panels...
