Read this and thought it was some incredible new Z mod before I backtracked and realized it is not, haha.

I put my Z on jackstands and removed the stock air intake system, cats and exhaust system. I was prepared for the Demon Bolt with WD-40 I sprayed on after I removed the air intake tubes and let it soak while I removed the stock exhaust. I bought a set of grip lock sockets and used an array of 1/2" extentions connected to a 1/2" - 3/4" adapter and 3/4" drive ratchet to make sure I wasn't lacking in torque to remove it. I beat the demon bolt, but seemed to have more trouble with the one below it.

that's a productive Z day for sure

daemon1957, I think a penetrating spray like PB Blaster would be alittle more effective then WD-40 IMO. How long did it take to get the bottom bolt out?

About 10 minutes after I figured out the correct combination of extention lengths, wobblers and universal joints to run down the left side. About 90 minutes all together. Tomorrow I tackle the crank pulley. I don't know for sure where to start, but this is a great way to get to know and learn the ins and outs of your car.

my garage door spring is probably due for repairs in the coming years. while i didnt open the garage door much the first 10yrs of ownership since my dd's were parked outside, i think in the next 5yrs the spring will give away since im using the garage door every day since last June...
I replaced the spring on mine last summer. It took the spring replacer garage repair dude all of 10 minutes to do. He made it look so easy! :tup:

Garage Door springs is something I do not eff with!

I tried one once on my own. That was the day when I decided that some things are better left to the people who do them over and over again.

Ordered this. I love simple mods.

NISSAN INFINITI MOBIL 1 CARBON FIBER OIL CAP GUNMETAL | eBay

happytheman 01-11-2012 08:52 PM
That's a sweet cap! Hmmmm, simple mods.... Ideas! :tup:

brucelidat 01-11-2012 09:06 PM
Maybe someone should start a simple mods thread. It'll help us getting our modding fix without blowing the bank for a FI kit, haha.
