Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today

"Fixed" my exhaust leak for the third time. This time I removed the gaskets and used red RTV only. Last time I re used the same gaskets with RTV and the RTV just blew out the flanges as I drove. I waited about 45min or so until I bolted the ART pipe back up do that the RTV could settle this time

I haven't read through all the posts yet, but why did you have a leak in your exhaust system? Was it the FI to Art connection that was leaking?

ART to header. Apparently the gaskets they supplied are garbage and they finally noticed that and they now supply red RTV instead of gaskets.

I had tons of fun driving at ~10mph tonight. It's amazing how entertaining an empty road can be when covered with a light layer of snow and ice and the stock Bridgestones. Once it was safely parked, it got covered with my car cover to help protect it from any new ice and snow falling tonight.

I know, this is a bit weird, but i guess it snows here occasionally. We are at close to 4k feet in elevation in El Paso. Got out of work early and come into work late tomorrow. Sometimes being in the military is nice :D

I glanced over at a coil of leftover vacuum hose, then at the Z, then back at the hose, then the Z again.

My gears started turning and before I knew it I was mutilating the stock airboxes.

That little plug in the top pic is for the airbox resonators that my 2010 doesn't have. I'll make a diy this weekend if anyone's interested.

I hate the internet.....close but no cigar for not filling in the x's with the correct words....I 'll give ya 10 points thou for getting the song correct.

"I don't like Mondays"

Who SUNG it?.......Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rays... and what MOVIE made him even more popular?.........PF Wall

Hint: we spoke of it a few weeks ago at your place. You and Taylor went to their (his) CONCERT............RWaters
